With a very pregnant wife at home I've found myself watching shows on Netflix after she goes to sleep and probably will be some with the baby in my lap in a few weeks. I'm looking for a really good series to watch on Netflix. I started on Lost and I'm 6 episodes in and it hasn't really engrossed me yet. I have some friends who love it.

Should I stick with Lost a while longer or try something new? Here are some other ideas I've heard...Friday Night Lights, Sons of Anarchy, 24, Mad Men.

Please Note: I've already caught up on Breaking Bad, so that's not an option.

Anything BBC.

Luther, Sherlock, Being Human

Firefly/serenity

"WWII in HD" is a good 10-part series to watch.

I've also been watching an episode of Cheers each night before I go to bed.

Sons of Anarchy is the next real show on my list.

Should I give up on Lost?

- Firefly, followed by the movie, Serenity
- 24

If I had not seen either of these, I would definitely watch them, and I am extremely jealous of you because I would love to be able to watch them for the first time.

The league. You won't regret it!

I would stick with lost for at least 5 or more episodes. I really wish I could watch Lost again for the first time.

Same with 24.

Once you are hooked on either of those, you will find yourself staying up way later than you should having to fit one more episode in.

I just finished up the modern Battle Star Galactica series on Netflix. I really found it to be way better than I thought it would be. It has a great first 2 part episode too.

Man Men and The League

Weeds

supernatural....you wont be able to stop watching though and there are a good 6 seasons on it i think....40 min long episodes and 20+ eppys per season. Best show out there IMO.

If you aren't engrossed in Lost at this point, you never will be. That pilot was perfection.

Friday Night Lights is a perfect show to start. The complaints from the occasional few that don't like Mad Men ("it's too slow" ) never really applied. Few that actually tried it didn't love it.

I would say stick with Lost, but if you're 6 episodes in and feel no urge to continue watching, you may never get into it. Personally I think it's one of the best shows of all time, and season 2 is even better than the first.

SportsNight was a quality show. Give it a shot

Just the same as above really:

24
Firefly
BS: Galatica
Tudors is pretty good too.

Workaholics
Sons of Anarchy
Community (is it on streaming?)
Parks & Rec
Psych (it has its good moments, I like it a lot but others don't)

Prison break

If you don't like LOST at this point, you probably won't end up liking it

Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy are the shows to watch

Ok I loved the Lost pilot, but it's starting to lose me. I'm gonna give it a few more episodes.

I'm gonna try Sons of Anarchy.

Dexter

If its available, The Shield.

The Shield is not available. Wish it was. I am 4 episodes in to breaking bad.

Daylight Savings weekend is always a good time to rewatch Lonesome Dove. Just sayin.

Vampire Diaries.....

At least the vampires don't glitter in the sun.

Frasier and Cheers
Scrubs
Raising Hope
Married with Children

Is Frasier on netflix streaming now? Wasn't a few months ago when my wife and I were trying to watch (and we've since cancelled), so we DVR'ed the reruns like crazy.

I agree with Dexter, Mad Men, SoA, and FNL. All great in their own way.

If you don't like Lost by E6, I'd say drop it. S1E4 (Walkabout) was probably a top 5 episode in the series, so if that did nothing for you I think the show isn't for you. Or if the weirdness level is getting to you, it will only get exponentially worse (or better if that's the parts you like).

All Fraisers on Netflix streaming now

If you aren't into LOST after the episode "Walkabout" then you won't be. Season 1 is collectively the best piece of entertainment of all time.

I think what hurts lost for me is that I already know how it all ends.

And I'm watching it after watching Breaking Bad. Makes it seem like Minor Leagues.

Kinda ironic for me on lost. I didn't start watching until about 6 episodes in (wife had me watch it). I got hooked about halfway through season 2

If you know all the details of how Lost ends, it might be less watchable. The ending, to be honest wasn't that great, but the journey was probably the best written in the history of television, at least the first 3 seasons, and this is coming from someone who absolutely LOVES 24 and Breaking Bad.

lost was very "meh" for me.

Mad Men, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development

I'll second supernatural. Give it about 4-5 episodes to find its stride.
Also Justified (get the disks if it's not streaming)
Firefly/Serenity
