Are these sites international?

I have access through Netflix, Amazon (has Vikings at $1.99 per ep.), and anything Roku hosts. I did find a roku channel (Mhz) that streams quite a bit of Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian stuff; unfortunately it is pricy at $3.99 per ep., it even has the original Swedish Wallander. Too rich for my willingness to pay.

I don't watch any broadcast TV.

*bump*

I haven't watched anything much lately, but I did just finish up watching the second Netflix original content series "Orange is the new black".

Enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for the tip, looks interesting. Just put it in my queue.

*"Bad Girls" was camp-tastic! when it started anyway, I grew a bit tired of it by the end.

*I've started watching "Orange is the New Black", I like it, the writing is great, the acting is great, the production quality is great, but I don't LOOOOVE it like so many people seem to already. I've not felt compelled to watch the whole series in a single sitting.

One of the things I do love about it is that there are a lot of "flash back scenes" that tell the story of Piper and her GF getting together and they're set in Northampton (my town) in the early-to-mid 90s and reference places that aren't around anymore - that aspect is very nostalgic and fun. And ironically Lea DeLaria, who has a role in the production, was hanging out in Northampton during that period because she was dating a Smithie. I have colourful Lea-at-the-bar memories. :P

*Kelt, does the roku channel you described have the original (Danish) version of 'The Killing' available? It's called "Forbrydelsen" I haven't been able to find it on any other streaming site and I'd love to see it.

Also the original (Swedish) version of 'Wallander' is on Netflix, search for "Henning Mankell's Wallander" - I liked it better than the BBC version, but I thought the BBC version was pretty good!

*"Luther" is awesome! I can't wait for season 3 to be streamed over here.

*A neat series I stumbled across on Netflix recently was "Top of the Lake", a Kiwi mystery/thriller type mini-series. It has a few David Lynch-esque moments. And is quite a compelling crime thriller.

The past 3 nights, very late nights, I fell into the void of binge-watching the entire Season 1 (13 episodes) of Orange is the New Black on Netflix... wondering when Season 2 will be available to swallow me whole.

I threw my pie for you...
 

BEST SHOW EVER!!!!

Blue has never thrown Hys pie for me (not unless it's some kind of euphemism for...well, never mind).

I knew there was something missing...and now I know what it is.

(LOVE the show, though I do find Piper to be somewhat insipid.)

I have become a total binge watcher. For the last couple of years I haven't watched anything any other way. I much prefer it, and can't see any reason to go back to consuming video the old 'TV' way.

Why read a magazine article when the whole book is sitting right there? :blink:

I just finished watching "Homeland" Season 1 & 2 on dvd. REALLY liked it at the beginning (still liked it at the end of S2) because the main female character was so ... un-female. Made for a nice change.

Orange is the New black!

I have watched 4 episodes and I am pacing myself, unlike when I watched all the episodes of The Newsroomn in one sitting.

I think it is a great show, I am having a great time watching it.

If you liked 'Homeland' try to find 'Prisoners of War' the original Israeli show it was based on, it's even better. It's available to stream on Hulu plus in the States but I don't know if you can access that, lusciouskiwi.

The Unloved was good!!!
