boreans - what are good & short tv shows on netflix

[Bebpo]

Home sick today, too tired to play games, too tired to sit through a full movie, so wanna watch some tv.

so far watched 1st ep of American horror story.  Jump cuts every 10 seconds, totally nonsensical, was not really a fan though I hear it pays off later.  Watching walking dead season 2 now but it's so boring I'm internet surfing on my phone and watching from the corner of my eyes.

other possible options after this:

ep1 of Wilfred, Orange is new black, Dereck, Luther

or just watch more Archer S2 or parks and recs S3


would watch breaking bad or the wire but probably just got a couple of days while sick, so wanna stick with 1-2 season shows.

suggestions?

or should I just watch the new chucky movie and rec3 and other 90 min horror movies plus comedy standups?

Heroes Season 1 - stop there - proceed if you want to hurt yourself

Wilfred is good fun when you're feeling shitty. Black Books is also great and only 18 episodes for the whole series.

Black Books is a show about a disgusging, raging alcoholic who owns a bookstore. It's charming and British.

Watched Aziz Ansari's 2nd standup.  That was loooooooooooool; actually feel a lot better now.  Comedy is probably best when sick.

Arrow is a fun show

NTSF:SD:SUV is actually like the perfect bite sized show- 15 minute or less episodes and they're consistently funny.  Time Slide!

If you want to experience the best hour of dark stand-up ever, peep Doug Stanhope's newest special, "Beer Hall Putsch"

I enjoyed The Finder. Its only 13 episodes long and if you like any of the other "quirky" crime solving shows on TV there isn't a reason you wouldn't enjoy this. The concept is dumb (its about a guy who finds things) but they do some interesting things with it

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I rly like Inbetweeners

[Bebpo]

Watched a couple more eps of American Horror Story.  It's lol, but the fast pace of it makes it easy to marathon.  Might just stick with this through.  I do enjoy the horror genre even if this show is just like every horror trope ever.

Too many abbreviations I have no idea.

Jem and the Holograms

Hell on Wheels, the first two seasons are on Netflix, good shit.

got me through a few days when I was healing in a cast

Seconding Spaced

[chronovore]

Watch JEKYLL, Being Human BBC version, or Misfits.

^First time I saw Christina Hendricks, and she was meant to look underage. Best guilt boner of all time.

All right show otherwise.

third thumbs up for spaced

But the ending.

Stalked, Who the Fuck Did I Marry, Deadly Women, Disappeared, Wicked Attraction.

Australian Wilfred is better

[fistfulofmetal]

Man I could have sworn Day Break was on Netflix streaming. That's bullshit! You should watch Day Break anyway. It's awesome!

[Great Rumbler]

Keeping Up Appearances

[Eric P]

Short show suggestions though you're probably not sick anymore
Aventures of Tintin - This is really the only tolerable way to enjoy Tintin, I think, 
Adventures of Young Indiana Jones - good fun adventure series
Arrow - batman that kills
batman brave and the bold - probably the best batman cartoon
a bit of fry and laurie - excellent sketch show
black books - like hanging out with white man
black adder - like hanging out with white man and avestal
bob's burgers - amazing
children's hospital - starts off as a parody of grey's anatomy and becomes something altogether amazing
fawlty towers - largely considered the best british sitcom, very short
House of Cards - the original.  awesome political machination show.
inbetweeners - very good uk comedy show about kids who aren't cool but also aren't nerds.
peep show - awesome uncomfortable comedy.  kind of loses its way in later seasons but the first 3 series are great.
raising hope - good working class comedy from greg garcia (my name is earl, etc)
scooby-doo mystery inc - best scooby-doo series.  sets up an over reaching arc and plays havoc w/ expectations
snuff box - like hanging out with me and white man
star trek the animated series - watch this and realize it's by the same writers and such of the TOS so I'd argue this is canon.  Space witches, bitches.
terriers - RIP.  Too beautiful for this world.  GREAT neo-noir about down on their luck guys.  Lovely characters, great writing, great acting. fuck the world that lets Big Bang Theory survive and allows this to die
don't trust the b-- in apartment 23 - great and twisted sitcom

[CajoleJuice]

If Kroll Show were on Netflix I'd recommend that.



I'll second Fry & Laurie, Fawlty Towers, Peep Show, and TERRIERS from Eric.
