DH and I just finished binge watching all the tv shows and movies from Agatha Christie's "Poirot" series on Netflicks or some such thing. Now what? Where do we go now? Any ideas would be more than welcome. We love almost any kind of show.

DH and I just finished binge watching all the tv shows and movies from Agatha Christie's "Poirot" series on Netflicks or some such thing. Now what? Where do we go now? Any ideas would be more than welcome. We love almost any kind of show.
Downton Abbey, The Walking Dead, Orange is the new Black, Breaking Bad are just a few that I like.
Grace and Frankie looks fun. So does Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I have them both in my list. They are Netflix orginals.
I can't remember which ones are on Netflix and which ones are on Acorn but try Midsomer Murders, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis (starts after Morse ended), Numb3rs, Blue Blood, Foyle's War. We are hooked on the British mystery series but Midsomer is our favorite along with Downton Abbey.
Dr Who and Foyle's War are two that I go back to frequently - my TV 'comfort food'. Once Upon a Time and Game of Thrones have been highly recommended to me by some normally-non-TV watching friends as being binge-worthy.
Game of Thrones is a great show but not on Netflicks. :( But so binge worthy!
Greys Anatomy is a great show that is on Netflicks. And it has like 11 seasons. :D
If you like paranormal stuff, Walking Dead is interesting. But I could only do an episode or two at a time. I couldn't binge watch.
And I would recommend Once Upon a Time. That one took me by surprise at how much I enjoyed that show.
House of cards with Kevin Spacey is good. It's a poliical drama. What makes it cool is that he talks to the audience.
I second Midsomer Murders. Rosemary and Thyme are good too.
Currently I'm binge watching Doctor Who, Longmire and The X-Files. I love the supernatural stuff so Supernatural and Buffy the vampire slayer are in heavy rotation for me.
Continuum on Netflix.
You guys are awesome.
Oh, yeah, I was going to recommend Longmire as well. DH and I loved that show. Also there are books the show is based on if you like a good read. Sorry, I cannot remember the author, but I got mine from the local library.
Big Bang Theory and Modern Family are my favorites.
Paul was upset when Longmire was cancelled. Guess, it is coming back.
Hulu has been my binge spot of choice while sewing. I have it on my computer over my sewing table. I liked watching Little Dorrit, Tess of the Duebervilles, Once Upon a Time, Nashville, and my new series is "The Astronauts Wives". :-) (among others) I find there is always some series I can pick up on Hulu!
Preeti, Longmire is coming back but only on Netflix not on the channel that used to carry it which I cannot remember at the moment!
My husband loves that show and in August we started binge watching Hart of Dixie on Netflix and both of us are really enjoying that one.
Have you seen Justified. It was hailed as the best show on TV for the last five years. The series is ended this year with season six. It was a Elmore Leonard police show. Awesome. The show ended one year earlier because of Mr. Leonard's death.
We have really enjoyed the first two seasons of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Looking forward to another season. Her clothes are absolutely stunning and there's lots of fun in this series. Not dark and dreary like so many of the crime shows. My sister watches PBS quite frequently and there are lots of quality programs to watch. We had a wonderful time with all the seasons of "Lewis." We also loved "Foyle's War."
We have been working our way through Coach episodes from the early 90's.
Doc Martin is another good show.
We don't watch much TV but ended up getting Longmire, Justified and Hell on Wheels....
Now I can't go to sleep unless I see Cullen Bohanan......... what a dream cake!

All the British mysteries that were mentioned above are excellent. Especially Inspector Morse, which I can watch over and over. Now there is a new prequel to Morse called Endeavour (his first name). Also very good. If you love British mystery don't overlook The Fall starring Gillian Anderson. 2 seasons there. Also there is a New Zealand mystery starring Elizabeth Moss, one of the stars of Mad Men. The mystery is called Top of the Lake. Hinterland is set in Wales, also good. Also Mad Men, if you haven't seen it, is 7 seasons of retro 60s culture goodness. One of the best shows ever. Also Wallander - Kenneth Branagh stars. Have to say I adore Longmire and was mad it was canceled and glad Netflix picked it up. Very true to the books, too. If you want something more controversial/lots of violence, Breaking Bad is one of the best tv shows ever made about descent from the middle class to pure evil. In a similar vein of excellent writing and outstanding acting but a lot more violent is Sons of Anarchy. (Think Hamlet Prince of Denmark.) Any of the HBO series qualify as high quality, but they don't appear on Netflix. Probably your library has them, but if its like my library you have to join the waiting list to borrow them! I'd say start with Deadwood, historically based western canceled way way too soon. And of course Game of Thrones, but this is quite violent. Still, I have never in my life read a fantasy novel series since Lord of the Rings way back in college days. This series made me pick up the books I got so hooked on it.
My personal favorite is Sherlock from the BBC. Monk is very good, Eureka if you like science fiction, the early seasons of White Collar (it got pretty far fetched as the seasons progressed)
Don't know if these are on Netflix but I enjoyed Sherlock, Poldark, Dr. Baker Mysteries (Australian), North and South (it's not what you think).
Revenge is my favorite Netflix show to watch. It was recommend to me and now I'm hooked.
Friday Night Lights is an all time favourite of mine!!
Z Nation is a campy zombie series. I see that just got added to Netflix.
I second Foyle's War. I'm binging on Medium right now.
This is so much fun. I'm making a huge list!
Person of Interest
I don't know if this is on Netflix, but I just finished watching Luther with Idris Elba. There are 3 seasons as of right now, but the 4th and last one is due out soon. Great series if you like crime/drama.
Miss Fishers Mysteries, Midsomer Murders, Lewis, Rosemary and Thyme, Sherlock. I love British mysteries.
Downton Abby ... I started "Orange is the new Black"... Umm No thanks. We also started "House of Cards"... No thanks again.
For me it boils down to content... We just don't watch that junk...
And Nope... I don't watch any of the Vampire, zombie, blood and gore either. So, I guess I am no help at all with my G-rated mind.
We just got rid of Netflix and now we get "PureFlix" it's mostly movies.
The final series of Downton Abbey starts here soon, maybe watch reruns untill you get the next series.
If you like Foyle's War, Michael Kitchen was in a great drama called Dandelion Dead.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Suits!! I think it's the best show on tv right now!!
My list:
Suits
Orphan Black
Justified
Longmire
Elementary
And a couple that are worth re-watching:
West Wing
House
You know, there a lot of chef and food related movies and documentaries. They don't string together, but really interesting.
You guys enjoy all the same shows that I do.
We just now became acquainted with the show "Justified," so we're binge-watching that now. :-)
I don't think zombies are junk. I think they are funny. If the apocalypse comes I'll know what to do. It's important training. lol
My sister mentioned that A Person of Interest was just starting on Netflix. There might be two seasons worth there or maybe just one. I'm going to give it a try.
We just finished binge watching the FX show "Justified". It was great! Before that we binge watched "Dexter" which was very disturbing, but still loved it in a weird sorry of way! My girlfriends and I got caught up on Downton Abbey - loved it and can't wait for the final season which starts in January.
Oh, I forgot to mention Netfix's show House of Cards. Once I started I couldn't stop!
We watch PBS more than any other channel. I don't know how many of these are on Netflix as we can't get it.
