netflix picks!

since we've been married, we haven't had cable or satellite. we don't even have those little bunny ears that can get you like a total of four channels. so when we want to watch tv, we head over to our friends house, or we turn on netflix. right now i am doing a full-time, unpaid dietetic internship, so when we were looking at our budget, staying cable-free was definitely a way we could save a little money. fifty dollars a month can go a long way, and we haven't really had the spare change. but 8 dollars ... 8 dollars we have, so we quickly decided to subscribe to netflix. we really enjoy having date nights and watching new shows together [ our life is so wild, i know ;) ]. so, through our browsing, i've compiled a little list of our favorite shows / movies on netflix.

house of cards ||
this is a netflix original series, and so worth a netflix subscription itself. if you like political dramas, then you'll love this one.

blackfish ||
this film is a documentary following orcas in captivity. prepare for water works and to never visit seaworld again...

scandal ||
oh yes, another political drama and i am obsessed. i just started watching, so i'm not up to date with the new season. so if you aren't either, prepare to get hooked.

terra nova ||
scofield and i have been really into sc-fi action shows in the past, like lost and revolution. terra nova is kind of like a light-hearted sci-fi/action/adventure show. don't get too hooked, though, because sadly it only lasted one season.

continuum ||
once again ... sci-fi, action, adventure [can you tell who picks all the shows in our house?] i was skeptical at first and not interested, but once w got into it i really enjoyed it. i like how there really isn't a good guy and a bad guy. it's all kind of gray. everybody's kind of everything. kind of like in real life, you know.

i'd love to know, what are your favorite netflix picks!? we're always happy to hear new recommendations!
