Hey everyone, It's Wednesday night, just got home from a late class, no early class tomorrow morning, and I won't see my girlfriend until friday evening, all that means only one thing ... NETFLIX time!
Let's see what we have, House of Cards, that awesome new show produced by Netflix themselves, a remake of a classic British TV series of the same name, featuring a pilot episode directed by David Lynch (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, 2011), arguably one of the best directors in Hollywood, and it stars Kevin Spacey, and features an HBO like mentality for cursing and nudity ... all sorts of win!But I'm watching that with the rest of the family so it wouldn't be fair.
Ooooo, How about Fringe, the amazing, and underrated show produced by J.J Abrams (Star Trek, 2009) which followed on the heels of his incredibly successful series Lost, which is also on Netflix. Stars John Noble who has won many awards for his amazing portrayal of a physiologically damaged mad scientist, and occasionally playing the evil "Walternate" from the parallel universe ... yeah it gets pretty heavy with the sci-fi, and guest starred Leonard Nimoy once too!
Too bad they don't have the last season, season 5, yet, I would have really enjoyed re-watching that.
Ahhhhh, I know, Sherlock, a modern retelling of classic Sherlock Holmes stories as they would take place in modern London, with Sherlock enjoying text messaging and Watson blogging the whole thing. Written and produced by Stephen Moffat, responsible for the current highly successful Doctor Who revival, plus it's great to see Martin Freeman, who played Bilbo late last year in the new adaptation of The Hobbit, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Who, besides playing host to the most epically British name ever!, will also be voicing the dragon Smaug, for the second part of the Hobbit coming out later this year. OH and can't forget we can catch him as the villain in the next Star Trek film, "Into Darkness" (which just launched a new trailer!) coming this summer, by J. J. Abrams! anyone seeing a pattern here? (hint, its all about British, and remakes)
Well it's settled, I mean I still haven't even seen the last episode of season 2 yet, it's perfect! I'm off then to enjoy some Netflix, hope I've given you all some good ideas for the next time you find yourselves starring at your computer screen in need of some entertainment. And please feel free to leave a comment about your favorite shows on Netflix, what you're watching right now, or if you've seen any of my suggestions and want to share your thoughts on them, I love talking about movies!
