First, The Wire. It's been mentioned a couple of times before, but it can never be repeated enough. The most amazing narrative achievement I've ever seen on television.<div>
</div><div>Go ahead and catch up on Breaking Bad. Three seasons on DVD, the fourth airing now, the fifth and final season coming in a year or so. </div><div>
</div><div>The Shield. Seven seasons. Solid from beginning to end, peaking with season five and the last half of season seven. Has what is possibly the best series finale I've ever seen.</div><div>
</div><div>Sherlock is the only one I can think of that is streaming right now. There are only three episodes, but each is 90 minutes long. It's a Sherlock Holmes adaptation that takes place in contemporary London. The idea of a modern Holmes put me off from watching the show at first, despite the high praise for the show, but being on instant watch I decided to give it a shot one day. Terrific series. Unfortunately it will be quite a while until the next season (of three 90 minute episodes) airs in the US.</div><div>
</div><div>I've been watching Six Feet Under this summer from start to finish. A very solid series. I'm on the fourth season, which has been underwhelming, but supposedly the final season is top notch. </div><div>
</div><div>Now that Mad Men is on instant I'll probably start it next. Also planning to watch Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones when they are released on DVD. </div>

I'm shocked that Prison Break has only been mentioned once... One of my favorite shows of all time.
It's been mentioned more than once and it NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY ALL 6PACKERS. Very good.

Fantastic show. I loved it as a kid, and really enjoyed rewatching the whole thing again. Found a youtube channel and watched the entire series.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet. Watch it and thank me later. Oh, and be sure to have plenty of whiskey handy while watching because it will really put you in the mood to do some sippin'. <div>

I can pretty much quote all 9 seasons. The office, Parks and Rec., 30 Rock, 24, Lost, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, The League, and Sparticus are all the other shows I have watched all the way through on Netflix and I haven't been disappointed by any of them. All great shows.

Prison Break and 24 are the two best series on Netflix, but I'll have to check the others out. I've heard Entourage was really good also. 24: Jack Bauer kicks *** and does not take names. Action packed show every season and the split screen, multiple plots and ticking clock make it an amazing show...Prison Break is one of the best shows I've ever seen as the plots all intertwine every season, every episode there is a twist at the end, and it has you guessing all the way to the last show. I've watched it 2 times all the way through and seriously can keep watching it. Michael Scofield is one badass genius...Seriously he is going to break his brother out of a prison who was supposedly innocent of a murder and Michael helped design the prison and his tattoos are the blueprints of the prison? Ha I guess I said a little too much..You should check it out for yourselves though...

I Absolutely and 100% AGREE. I live and work in Kosciusko. My girlfriend lives in Brandon, and all my friends/drinking buddies live in Jackson Metro. Monday-Thursday, I HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE. When I'm not listening to records or reading, I'm watching a **** ton of tv. Most of the aforementioned shows are awesome, but HANDS DOWN FNL is the best I've ever seen. If Jack Bauer > Chuck Norris (Which I agree), Then Corch Eric Taylor > Jack Bauer AND Chuck Norris.<div>

I enjoyed Dexter, Weeds, Prison Break... Any show that has been on FX is a solid choice. Just recently started watching Rescue Me and Damages and both shows are very good.

but she has turned to a bi-atch and I'm having problems watching it now. Rescue Me has become annoying with the ghost visions. I won't be watching anymore of this last season. You can tell they were struggling to fill one last season.

Gotta concur with Spartacus. That show was awesome! Unfortunately Andy Whitfield just passed away from his cancer recently as well

Not the best show I've ever seen, but probably the most fun to watch. The theories and speculation during its run where as much fun as the show itself. Though it oscillated in quality at times, it's highs were ridiculously high. That one season finale blew my mind a thousand times over.

The first three seasons. The show isn't done, so you can't watch it to the end just yet, but they recently added the show to instant. The fourth season is about to wind up on AMC right now and it's been spectacular as always.<div>
</div><div>And since I've never met another person who has actually seen it: another shout out for Sherlock. Fantastic show. </div><div>
</div><div>And I think I've finally heard enough praise for Friday Night Lights to give it a try soon. </div>
