I love raising hope. I like to think of it as My Name is Earl season 4+ because Earl drops off really far after 3. Plus it has a Sons of Anarchy crossover (& is super funny)
Saw it as it aired, bought the DVD's, re-watched them several times on DVD, got angry at the finale, re-watched the series AGAIN on DVD, own every season, now re-re-re-watch them as they're syndicated on Nick at Night (I think).

I've just started watching Earl. Decent so far, but at this point, I'm liking Hope better.
I've been watching House alot lately. I was a huge fan of the show as it aired and eventually got focused on other things. No idea where I fell off or what happened in the finale. So I'm re-watching until I get somewhere where I go, "Well this is new" and go from there.
I had the first few seasons on DVD but I think the first one did the whole "double-sided" DVD thing that I hate. I eventually got rid of them.
If you're looking for sitcom fair, I cannot strongly enough recommend Raising Hope. The first two seasons in particular are pure genius.
I tried to get into Broadchurch when it first aired, and actually did watch till the end, but it just didn't work for me. It took itself very seriously, so much that I found it a chore to watch. And I have an aversion to shows that frequently stop for slow motion montages set to dreamy electronic music, something this show did a lot, sometimes multiple times in an episode.
I thought a lot of the acting was great, Tennant and especially his partner, whose name I'm forgetting (she's often been listed as a contender for a female Doctor Who, and I actually wouldn't have a problem with that). Some of the supporting cast, as well. And it was shot beautifully. I just felt like it had a very high opinion of itself that wasn't necessarily warranted.
Still working my may through the A-Team, I don't binge watch so it's been a slow grind, I'm now in season four. I'm in season two of Adam-12 and started Emergency last night.
It's not Netflix but I have finally been allowed to start watching Game of Thrones now that the wife is almost done reading the books.

You're in for a treat! (and depending on the episode, so too may be your wife)
OK, all kidding about fan service aside, it really is a pretty terrific series. I'm kind of hoping that they incorporate the novellas into the series in some fashion.
The Fall season 2 just arrived on Netflix. The first season was brilliant in many ways but I feel it ended without proper conclusion or resolution. Not recommending the 2nd season, but just notifying anyone else who had watched the first.
I've been watching the original Mission Impossible series. And here I thought Peter Graves was always on the show
I had originally thought so too, but a friend informed me awhile ago that Steven Hill (best known for playing the DA on the first decade of Law And Order) played the role that Graves later filled.
Any watching Salvage Hunters with Drew Pritchard? my wife turned me onto it. She's also an interior designer though, so I'm being subtly influenced here.

Supposedly, the main reason for Hill being replaced is because as an Orthodox Jew, he refused to work once the sun went down on Friday until the evening of the next day. With a schedule as tight as Mission: Impossible's, that was difficult to work around.
He's not as memorable as Graves in the role. I've actually seen that first season with him, but I couldn't tell you anything specific about Hill's character.
I order mike tyson mysteries on amazon. That cartoon is pretty great. For prime members there are a ton of hbo shows available prime membership ( no extra cost).

Scramble some eggs.
At least partly because I seriously covet his blue fedora.
Broadchurch and Season 2 of Maron were other recent binges.

'Twas a truly original film.

It's a poor substitute for Deadwood, but it's still pretty good.
Colm Meaney sure has had a great career.
