My Top 10 NetFlix Finds

 



Once Upon a Time
If you like the fairy tales while you were growing up these show is definitely for you. It has all of our favorite characters; jiminy cricket, the Evil Queen, Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, Prince Charming, Little Red Ridding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, The Blue Fairy, Granny, Pongo, Cinderella, Pinocchio, The Mad Hatter, Belle, Peter Pan, Wendy and her brothers, (a very handsome) Captian Hook all with a twist! There is a lot of "magic" in the show. This show is safe for kids as long as they know it's not real. Top of my list!
Dexter
Dexter is a crime scene investigater specializing in blood slatter. Adopted, his father was a Miami detective and his sister Deb is working her way up to that. Dexter lives two lives, one as a normal person who has to pretend to care & like people and a murderer, then he feels "normal." He starts to have a normal life and soon has to choose. This is a great series for both you and your hubby! 


Call of the Midwife
Set back in the 1950's in London. This English series shows the lives of several midwives and the struggles they went through. It does have some screaming but okay for the kids to watch, although they will not be interested. Definitely for Mom. NY Daily News Review

Idiot Abroad
Idiot Abroad is a consistently hilarious practical joke on their friend Karl. Karl is a man who just doesn't "Get it" So Ricky Gervais and friend Stephan Merchant send him all over the world for a HD travelogue. They send him to the 7 wonders of the world but still he just doesn't "get it" This is also a MUST SEE! I wouldn't let kids under 12 see this there is some language and certain episodes nudity. He is truly an Idiot Abroad.

Cake Boss
Buddy Vilastro and his Italian family own a bakery in Hoboken, NJ. His father started the business, after his death buddy took over as the head baker. This show is great to watch with your kids. It is also funny, they pull pranks and it is filled with love & laugher & agervation (Mary...). It is great to see not only the business grow but the family grow as well. Wonderful show! 

New Girl
Starring Zooey Deschanel, In the first season she works through her quirks. It makes me laugh out loud no matter how many times I have seen the episodes. This show is a MUST SEE!
                           
Drop Dead Diva
Drama show, About a girl named Deb. She is a fun, carefree, airhead, blonde super model living her dream until one day she died & ended up in Janes body. Jane is an over weight straight laced, by the book lawyer. Deb(or Jane) gets a guardian angle and the only person who knows is Deb's old friend Stacy. This her her life as Jane. Not only is it funny but it is a romantic drama. Great for the kids, hubby not so much, this shows is for the ladies!

Burn Notice
Burn Notice is great for you and your hubby to watch together. Action Packed, It is about a Spy, Michael, who gets burned and is living a life trying to get back into the CIA, helping people who have been wronged along the way. Ladies you get your love story between Michael & Fiona and Men, you get all the action! 



Mad Men

Another Show for the adults. Placed in the 1960's in New York about prestigious men & their work in Advertising. It is a great show. Definitely need to watch!

Sons Of Anarchy
This is one for the Adults. This show is about a Biker Club who goes through trials, deaths and all out war fighting for their family & source of income. It does show a great sense of loyalty through out family but is Violent. If you are okay with Fights, Guns & Biker Clubs, You wont be disappointed
