I really liked the first 2 seasons, especially the first, but I gave up after that and I don't know why. May go back.

Just started watching 24 (yes, I know I'm very late to the party). Horribly addictive and I'm only four episodes in.

i did 1 and 3 then 2, and the same too, gave up on then went back. 2 is hard going to start, 1 and 3 flow better.

Its tacky, childish, st, boring, clichéd,cringeworthy, unrealistic,irritating and frankly ludicrous. And yet I could not stop watching and loved every moment of every series.

Haven't read all 13 pages so apologies if mentioned, but The Bridge is a properly amazing series. Swedish / Danish and set in both Malmo and Copenhagen and absolutely intriguing from start to finish. They've just added season 2 to Netflix which I'm working through.

Can anyone recommend any gangster/Mafia documentaries or even TV shows/movies? I have watched that Gangsters: Faces of the Underworld 6-parter that the Brummie bouncer presented and really enjoyed it but I haven't had much luck finding anything else.

Also, I can't believe quite how bad our Netflix is compared to other countries. At my girlfriends last weekend and we were watching Swedish Netflix and the choice is about 5 times as much, but this weekend here at mine we were really scraping the barrel to find something she could watch.

Yeah, I mentioned it a while back, I finished Season 1 on Monday night - I loved it, a cracking series. Looking forward to watching Season 2, but just got second series of Bates Motel to watch first.

Is Swedish Netflix a similar cost to ours?

I'd agree the selection is somewhat limited, but I think £6 a month is very good value.

It's 79sek which is about £7 but they get a lot more for that extra £1!

Thanks, I'll take a look at Zenmate.

I will try Underbelly again, still can't remember why I stopped watching season 3.

Does anyone know if the walking dead is on netflix in any country? From season 1, it was on sky for a while but they've taken it down for some reason.

[JohnStitch]

It's on most regions. I think UK might only have up to season 3, but US now season 4

Its not on UK Netflix, I just had a look.

Sorry for the idiot question, but how does Zenmate work? I usually watch Netflix on my TV in my living room via my iPad, or through a Roku box in my bedroom, it's the Roku that I am struggling to see how I can get to work.

This is annoying, I was just getting in to series one and they've taken it off. Checked USA too and it's not there.

Was The Walking Dead ever on Netflix in any region? Or any HBO program for that matter? I'm almost certain HBO have never done a deal with Netflix, as HBO enjoy their DVD/Blu-ray sales so much, and they're launching their own on-demand system next year. No sense in giving your material to a rival.
