Not one person mentioned Arrested Development?? Still the best sit-com to ever grace the TV screen. Curb Your Enthusiasm is very good too.

Has anyone recommended Weeds?

Also, wife and I loved Rectify if that hasn’t yet been recommended. Definitely recommend that one.

First two seasons of Bloodline are outstanding. It was originally slated for 5 seasons but due to excessive costs of production shooting in the Keys they canceled and dialed back to 3 seasons. The last season is good...but it's a bit of a mashup and everything happens very fast (and a bit convoluted). Overall, a great series.

Justified. So good.
The Shield. Outstanding.

Bloodline also suffered from the loss of Sam Shepard, who always had a great screen presence. Even after his character died and Shepard only appeared in the flashbacks, he added a lot to the show.

Based on a killer list of recommendations my cabin fever cure will be:
MindHunter
Narcos
Fargo
Black Mirror (when new season comes out)
Runner Ups: Longmire, Mad Men, Rectify)

Two great shows, but I guess I never really associate them with Netflix.

Arrested Development to me is what put Netflix on the map. You're definitely right on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I watch it on Amazon Prime. I saw that a few people put shows up that weren't on Netflix, so I followed suit.

Oh I get that, I was just referring to my own viewing habits, and that I was a big fan of these shows when Netflix was still just that "DVDs in the mail" thing. That's why I didn't think to list them here.

I think a lot of AMC and FX shows get associated with Netflix because it's the only way they are watchable, unless you record them and fast-forward through the endless commercials.

I know it's not Netflix, but Game of Thrones is one for the ages. A generational type show. It's that good. I don't know a lot of people that dislike it. Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 94%; imdb at 9.5/10.
Not sure what HBO Now or Go costs but would be worth signing up just to watch Game of thrones.
It took me awhile to keep all the people straight in the beginning. After the first season or so no problem.

Its always Sunny in Philadelphia, takes a minute or two to warm up to, but my wife went from saying this show is dumb how can you watch it to becoming a fan of the show herself.
Netflix is pulling Always Sunny in January, I believe.

Glow is terrific

Its Always Sunny is great for laughs

Fuller House was surprisingly fun to watch

The Jim Carrey documentary about playing Andy Kaufman is a good watch

Lucha Underground if you like wrestling

Jim & Andy is a great documentary... pretty deep.

2nd recommendation for Glow... I'll give it a whirl

i don't mind letting the kids watch old episodes of Full House. Fuller House is just awful, awful tv. Unless you're laughing at how terrible it is, there's no reason to watch it.

Yeah Fox has a deal with Hulu and it sounds like eventually all their stuff will be pulled over to Disney's streaming service.
Bummer.

Edit: though, I must say, the thought of Always Sunny being on a Disney network is funny in and of itself. :)

One of Jodi Sweetins shirts may finally give in from "the strain". I'm gonna keep checking in to make sure.
