Netflix

[cellio]

For my birthday I received a gift subscription to Netflix (I'd been considering it but never did anything about it on my own). This is excellent. I've populated my queue with enough stuff to get rolling, but I figure suggestions are always good. Here is your invitation to evangelize DVDs you think I'd like.

Recent TV I've enjoyed has included Merlin, Pushing Daisies, and Journeyman (last year, short-lived). I enjoyed West Wing, the first three seasons of LOST (more now on the way), Firefly, and the first season of Heroes. I'm a big B5 fan and have seen all the modern Star Treks. I don't get out to movies very often; the profiling there is likely to be unsurprising. If you're reading this, you probably have some other clues about me. I can of course pour all that data into automated suggestion generators; I'm providing it here for a bit of context in case it matters.

Anyway, fire away. :-) (A hint about why you think I'd like something would be much appreciated.)

The Dresden Files if you didn't see it at the time, I love the later books by Jim Butcher but prefer the tv version of the earlier ones, wizard in Chicago beating up bad guys with a ghostly sidekick. If you like conspiracy stuff that doens't take itself too seriously, Fringe has had me on the edge of my seat, investigating futuristic crimes and events. As someone else said, Burn Notice is fun, former agent turned private eye. Hmm, they just started showing Warehouse 13 here but I'm not sure its made it onto dvd yet, too new? Its FBI agents tracking down mysterious artefacts.
If you've not seen Stargate there's a million series of that. The few episodes of Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural I've caught in passing have seemed good, I don't tend to remember to watch tv too often so have missed a lot!

Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm with you on Dresden Files; the books are much better at getting into the moralization and inner thoughts, but the show was sufficiently fun. (I was upset that the Blue Beetle became a jeep, though)

Fringe was too medical-intense for me, and Warehouse 13 just felt like a combination of X-Files and the The Librarian/National Treasure movies. But that's probably just me; I'm not much into conspiracy-theory shows.
