Netflix badly needs parental controls.
Daddy watches Archer, and thus, it shows up in the "Recently watched" section with Spongebob and Phinas and Ferb...

Clicking the trailer for "End of the World", there was a Netflix commercial showing scenes from the final season of Breaking Bad. Said "See the finale episode on Netflix". So, I went to Netflix to watch the rest of the last season. Wasn't there. So I googled for info.
Turns out, the final season is available on Netflix in the UK. And with an extension installed on Chrome, you can log into the UK Netflix servers and see stuff that isn't in the US. I tried it, and it's working.
When I went back to the trailer to verify what I had seen (before I googled and found the UK options), it showed the Hobbit movie as a trailer. So, you might be able to see that in the UK as well.

So I was trying to figure out why Netflix hasn't started streaming Season 4 of Archer, and whatever is the latest season of The League (and Psych for that matter), when I discovered this article.
Interesting.
If I'm reading this right, I'm rooting for FX. They'll get to stream more episodes of their shows on their website until the season ends. At that point, the show gets handed off to Netflix, and at a reduced rate? Good luck trying to raise your prices Netflix!
Recently I convinced my wife to give Brooklyn Nine-Nine a chance. We hit the Fox website, and they only have the last 5 episodes online. That sucks. How is she supposed to learn the characters?
To my knowledge, Netflix doesn't, and has NEVER streamed a show during it's season. If it does, let me know because I've never seen it. They air everything after entire seasons have ended.
Anyway, I figured out that Hulu Plus actually has all the episodes of B99 right now. So that's cool, but it doesn't have other shows that Neflix does...
In related news, Amazon just bought exclusive rights to some NBCU shows. So yeah, fuck you Amazon. Way to follow the EA model for being assholes.
Here's hoping networks get to stream their shows for free during the season, and to 1 or more of these streaming services failing so the remaining ones have more options.

I'm wondering how the fuck Netflix doesn't have Metalocalypse season 4 on DVD yet when that shit was released in 2012.

House of Cards is pretty solid, if there isn't a thread for it already?
It's a pretty good Netflix original series. Kevin Spacey with that southern drawl, ya'll.

They probably don't have the rights Malcolm.
Netflix has the best originally programming, no question. However, I've noticed their selections are falling off. They lost Spongebob pissing my kids off. They don't air shows during their seasons, ala B99 and Hulu Plus. They lost getting new FX shows. They haven't thrown up new Psych episodes. The new Arrested Development episodes were so boring I stopped watching them. Their movie selection is terrible.
It's like they're waging a personal war on me. Do I really have to subscribe to Netflix and Hulu Plus just to get the shows I want?

Yes, I realize there are illegal options.
And don't think you can't pay for those in the long run...

So are they monitoring you for SHARING or if you download from a site? Big difference.
6 strikes doesn't seem like a lot considering they can see everything you do.

Same. And I'm not really doing anything surreptitious.

I imagine the 6 strikes policy is either:
1) You get reported by © holders, or
2) They get mad at how much bandwidth you are using.
They have no incentive to proactively go after people.

Yeah, this seems to target the big time seeders more than anyone. They're hoping that somehow collapses things. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
