Started watching American Horror Story last night, weird, but strangely watchable.

The housekeeper, my word! lick
Which one? wink

You're right though, she is the sexiest thing on TV by miles.

Well it's still in the cinema so a long way away yet, at a guess...

It will probably be on Amazon/iTunes/Blinkbox/Now TV before Netflix. Netflix is nice, but it's not that hot on getting new films quickly compared to the others.

Has the Borgias series been mentioned yet. It's very good, and quite strong stuff too.

The Returned - US remake of the french TV show. People who have died start returning to their lives with no memories of having died, much to the obvious shock of those they left behind.

Watched the first episodes and the next new episode goes live today. Really enjoying it so far, slow burner but I hope they have a plan and it's not another Heroes (which seriously lost it's way fast).
That was a fantastic recommendation - thanks! I may have just binge watched all six episodes that are currently up there. Not really used to having to wait for new ones. As I don't actually watch that much tv, is there a way to be notified when new episodes are available by email? I can't seem to see anything.

But what a great story. As far as I can work out, each of the returned get what they want. It's trying to work out what they actually want that makes it so good. Especially when some of them don't know what they actually want. I'm loving how, six episodes in, some of them are getting what they want and are realising they don't actually want it! So good.

And music by Zoe Keating, too! Absolutely top notch stuff. Can't work out why there's not much buzz around it.

The only downside is it's one of those series that you have to pay close attention to everything that's said. And there was a sticky patch about three episodes in where they were verging on getting into the religious side of it all, but luckily they side-stepped that minefield...

The Comedians of Comedy - follows a stand up comedy tour with Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, Brian Posehn and Zach Galifianakis. It was filmed in 2005 and it's interesting to see how the comedians have developed over the years. Well worth a watch.

Watched "The Babadook" last night on US region...been wanting to watch this for a while and wasn't disappointed. An Australian horror, not reliant on special fx to provide the scares...quite creepy actually, especially if you have kids

Layer Cake was added recently. Such a good film, not just because of that scene.

I did a 'taster' of a few shows over the weekend, between US and UK Netflix.

Watched the first couple of Daredevil, might continue with it, seems quite interesting. With the exception of the recent Batman trilogy, I don't watch much Marvel / DC stuff, just not my cup of tea.

House of Cards - watched the first episodes, so far so good. Really like Kevin Spacey and breaking the fourth wall I think works very well. But bloody hell, you daren't miss a word of that show else you're left trying to figure out what the next 5 minutes are on about! It's good though, I'll stick with it for a while.

Just realised life on Mars is on there.
Incredible stuff. Especially the speech at the end of episode 5.

Ditto.

Signed up this week as we were sick of nothing being on and have watched 1st 5 episodes of HoC in 2 nights. Properly addicted.

Thinking of signing upto Netflix, I've just convinced SKY to slash my TV deal to 50% off for 12 months.

I'm interested in watching Breaking Bad as I've not seen it yet, Enjoyed SOA and Prison Break.

Can anybody confirm if married with children is on Netflix? I got to about season 10 on youtube then they started getting pulled down.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

I was determined not to watch this. Just because it's been so heavily hyped all over the place.

But curiosity got the better off me.

Genuinely laugh-out-loud moments and such great characters. The 30 Rock influence really shines through and it's so much the better for it...
