There are countless things to watch that far outweigh the services recent price jump. Below is a list of five amazing gems that should encourage you to work that groove in the couch for your behind and forget the definition of "relationships" These aren't the top shows or movies to watch but that list is impossible to compile so suck it up and watch!

Black Dynamite

Name any great black actor....they're in Black Dynamite

Ah Black Dynamite, this amazing movie is a parody of the Blacksploitation movies of the 70s. Written by and starring the amazing Michael Jai White, Black Dynamite is one of those amazing movies you watch 90 times because you have to show all of your friends.

Cera before people thought
he was Jesse Eisenberg

Arrested Development


While I know this is kind of irrelevant, (you're reading a blog you have watched the crap out of this show already) some lonely little rock dwellers still need to see this amazing show, for some of the most clever writing in television. Plus, the show is easy to watch in its entirety due to the fact that it only lasted three beautiful seasons. Oh and lil baby Michael Cera!



Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog


Written by nerd god Joss Whedon of Buffy fame and starring other nerd gods including Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, this musical follows the plight of Doctor Horrible as he struggles for love and the triumph of evil. With whimsical songs and hilarious moments, Mr. Whedon gives nerds yet another reason to worship him.

The hammer is my...
I'll just let you watch.

Dr. Who

Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor,
 my hero

While the seasons on Netflix start in 2005, Dr. Who has been running on th BBC since 1963. This amazing sci fi has enjoyed a growing cult following as the modern episodes are fed to an American audience. Personally to get into this show it's best to start at season 5, as that's where Matt Smith, the eleventh Doctor takes over.





Gurren Lagann

That's a lot of faces!

Despite some potential grumbling, I have to list this amazing anime. No other anime I've seen has such a sense of scale, as episodes start with humans afraid underground and end with giant robots firing off blasts with energy comparable to the creation of the universe. While a little campy, Gurren Lagann isn't afraid to make fun of itself.






These are just a few of the bajillion things you should watch on Netflix, all you have to do is either sign up or logon thanks for reading!
