s/o Good things on Netflix streaming?
I prefer to watch things streaming (instant gratification!), but their selection is so limited. These are some of the best things I've found and watched so far:
Weeds
Dexter (first 2 seasons only)
Friday Night Lights
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series
I'm currently in the middle of watching Toy Story 3 on my phone. A few months ago, I watched Up (the Pixar movie), but it's not on instant anymore. Boo!
Does anyone else have any good recommendations?

Re: s/o Good things on Netflix streaming?
my husband sometimes streams man vs. food
when we really want to deep clean the house we watch hoarders
