Thanks, Bubba, I'll check those two out. I've been planning on H.O.C. for awhile.

Out of the ones I mentioned, The Shield was my favorite.

Sons of Anarchy is good. Although, like many, it did go down hill after awhile. Do you remember Oz, from back in the 90's? Check it out if you haven't seen it.

I know it's not an option in Thailand, but some of these come from DVD.com, which is owned by Netflix. It isn't as good of a deal, but it's good if you really want to watch something. You can get around 10 a month if you send them back the next day.

For TV shows I use http://www.watchepisodes1.com. Once you figure out how to click around some of the ads it's very easy to use. Seems to have about every TV show from all around the world and it's free.

Looks good, thanks. I'm staying with my brother, so it's all free as long as I'm here :) But I imagine there are shows on there that aren't available on Netflix.

Things that generally don't happen in Thailand:

I had to update my credit card info with netflix to continue my subscription (old credit card expired). I tried to do so online......everything seemed to update fine, but when I tried to watch a show this evening, I was advised that I needed to update my credit card info (which I had already done).
At the bottom of the page, it says 'call 1-800-xxxxxxxxx if you have further billing problems or questions'. I did....sort of expecting a looooong wait. Less than a minute later, a service rep said he could see the new credit card info, but for some reason the netflix side wasn't updating my 'authorization to view' page.
The guy said, "I don't want you to miss what you planned to watch this evening, so I'm going to unlock your account and we'll figure out how to resolve this problem at our end." end of story. Total time elapsed about 4 minutes.
Now if only that Makro cashier could resolve a price discrepancy as quickly.

Another HBO series I've just started watching is Vinyl:

The music scene in 1970s New York is still awash in sex and drugs, but rock 'n' roll is giving way to an era of punk, disco and hip-hop. Desperately trying to navigate the changing landscape is American Century Records founder and president Richie Finestra, whose passion for music and discovering talent has gone by the wayside. With American Century on the verge of being sold, a life-altering event rekindles Finestra's professional fire, but it may leave his personal life in ruins. Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter are among the creators of the hourlong drama series, which stars Bobby Cannavale (HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") as Finestra.

Stranger things have happened: I've gotten in the habit of watching Netflix through my VPN so I get the US menu of shows. Watched Better Call Saul season 1 and was anxiously awaiting season 2 on netflix....but it's not there. But it is available on the Thai menu of netflix shows. Time to tune in and watch how Chuck continues to deal with his electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

after upgrading my 3BB to the 20mbps package I opted to subscribe to Netflix Thailand.. Great, fantastic and yes, I've been Netflix binging.. All of Daredevil (got kinda tired of him kicking peoples asses and getting his kicked in return), both seasons of Better Call Saul, (great, fantastic with superb subplots!) and now Gotham with all of its Batman prequel plots.. Whoda thunk Will Smith's wife Jadda Pinkett Smith would make a truly evil criminal mastermind, or that Alfred Pennyworth the Wayne family butler is a former Royal Marine with SAS experience (plus in real life the son of one of the classic Doctor Who actor Jon Pertwee). I'll likely venture into Breaking Bad since many of the Better Call Saul characters reside there too...

I only realized how much I liked Netflix once I cut my Thais (sic) to UBC. Competition is good.

I don't know why anyone would pay to watch movies or TV shows when virtually everything is available for free somewhere on the internet. Websites I use include http://www.watchepisodeseries.com/, https://watchseriesfree.to/, and http://123movies.is/.

Dutch (1991)

Dutch was a feel-good movie for the family, with very few raunchy innuendoes. It was the type of movie that made 90's movies great - it was not a sappy romantic comedy where you guessed the ending, nor was it a slap-stick comedy that was more stupid than funny. It had its heart-warming moments, but for the most part was just random hilarious mishaps.

While trying to impress his girlfriend and take an interest in her son, Ed O'Neal stars as Dutch Dooley, the working-class man on a road trip to bond with Doyle (played by Ethan Embry). What made it a top movie was its unique story line and setting, mixed into a fun comedy that made you smile when it was over. It even snuck in a tiny message that high class doesn't mean "better than you".
