New to Netflix. General question

[Duer 157099]

Do they ever get rid of stuff? Or do they only add new titles (to streaming)?

I've made my "to watch" list and now I'm wondering if any of them will just suddenly disappear before I get to them.

1. They definitely get rid of stuff.

There was a site that told you when things were about to expire, but they say that Netflix stopped giving them the information.

You will note that from time to time an expiration date will appear next to something in your queue. It's generally when it is about to expire within the week.

Be careful of those addictive Netflix only series! One could lose their job over those things.

Enjoy!

2. Which series? House of Cards?

That's the only one I've heard about and is part of the reason I signed up. Haven't watched it yet though.

Are there others?

3. House of Cards is great.

We just started watching "Orange is the New Black", their latest. Excellent.

Haven't seen Arrested Development yet, but heard it's great.

Then there is Hemlock Grove, which I don't know much about.

4. I could not get past episode 3 of Hemlock Grove.

I am not into vampires, ghouls & supernatural fantasy. Did not like it at all.

I prefer the British & Canadian series. There are many to choose from, but I have just about exhausted what is available to my tastes.

6. I am also not into the whole vampire thing, so not really interested in Hemlock Grove.

OTOH, Orange is the New Black starts out great.

Unfortunately, we are having serious connectivity issues which are not likely to resolve until the tourists stop coming around.

So, it may be a while before I see the whole thing.

9. I just watched House of Cards this past weekend. Once I started, I couldn't stop watching.

If you haven't watched it yet, you need to, it's fascinating! After I watched that, netflix suggested that I watch Orange is the New Black, so I did. I thoroughly enjoyed that, too.

10. Thanks. I started to watch it the other night

but when it started with a dog getting hit, I had to turn it off. I'll get back to it but I wasn't in the frame of mind that night where I could continue.

Then I started watching the Orange one, and when the first scene is a shower sex scene, ugh... I was trying several different things on Netflix and every time one began with a sex scene, I just turned it off. Amazing how many begin like that!!

I'll get to them, but just wasn't in the right frame of mind.

Thanks!

11. I know where you're coming from.. Have you tried "All Creatures Great and Small?"

It's up there on Netflix.

"House of Cards is and Excellent Watch." But, you need to be in the "Mood" for it.

If you are looking for something that makes you feel better about the World. It's a "Past World" ...but "All Creatures Great and Small" ...kind of puts one in "touch."

I might have misread your post, though.

5. They drop streaming titles often.

Here are a couple of sites that keep up with Netflix, I have found them helpful:

7. in my experience

a TV show i watched is no longer there. i assume the makers wanted too much money...but at other times i have seen dates that let me know i only had so much time to watch something.

8. Check the queue on your computer every so often

not only on your streaming device.

There will be a red notation in the right-hand column when a title will be removed within a week.
