You can stream Slings and Arrows from Netflix, or so my friend KT told me. Awesome show!

Ooh, have not seen that one, either! I'm not a big tv watcher until I go on a marathon binge.

[sperrywink]

Totally awesome show! Each season is only 6 episodes, so totally marathonable, and it is all about the happenings at a Shakespeare festival. Each season centers on a certain play and the happenings at the theater are reflected in that.

Besides you can't beat Paul Gross, Martha Burns, Mark McKinney, and Don McKeller!

*adds it* I'll watch the first ep and see what I think of it. :)

[sperrywink]

You won't be sorry! *g*

I +1 this suggestion! S&A is one of my very favorite shows ever full stop. I think the first ep is the weakest--it gets on its feet in ep 2 and stays there through all 18 eps of the show.

Yeah, I started watching the first episode and I was a little lost and bored. But I'll give it another try for sure!

[isis]

Please do - this is my favorite show ever. It doesn't really get going until ep 2.

Ooo! I'm going to second this rec, actually! That's an amazing series!

Middleman! IDK if it's Netflixable, but if it is, do it!

Also, AtLA. Of course.

[monanotlisa]

Middleman is also WONDERFUL. Wendy Watson! Noser! ♥

[gloss]

They are made of LOVE!

Doctor Who! I love it! I already wrote THREE stories for it! :P

I think not all of it is on Netflix yet, but it's coming!

[green]

YAY! I definitely want to watch it when I get the time.

[mizubyte]

I haven't seen any of the shows you mentioned. Hm...

I will recommend Being Human as awesome, and I also have an addiction to Burn Notice and Criminal Minds

[green]

Being Human isn't streaming, but I added it to my DVD queue. \o/

[ex_tachycardi133]

I just voted for Arrested Development so I can live vicariously through your marathoning. Won't get to watch it for a good, long time. :(

[green]

Aww. I will watch it for you, bb! :D?

[ex_tachycardi133]

Let's see how that works out. x) Good luck quitting smoking! :D

[sillymom]

We're watching The Wire episode by episode. Treme, which was made by the same people, was even better, I think--we watched that first.

[green]

Thank you, bb! I've not seen any of the Wire and I know it comes highly recced. *adds it*

:D
