Favorite Netflix Shows for the trainer

I wouldn't survive the trainer without Netflix:

Heroes

Miami Vice

24

Burn Notice

I do most of my riding on the trainer watching Netflix. Some of my favorite shows

-- Sherlock on the BBC

-- Battle Star Galactica (never watched it when it was on originally)

-- Being Human (both the US and UK versions are quite good)

-- American Horror Story

-- Many others I add in occasionally (scrubs, Walking Dead, Sparticus, Breaking bad...)

-- Plus I watch a bunch of foreign films as well

Most Chinese martial arts films. IP Man is the most recent - with subtitles. I always notice I speed up during the fight scenes.

Other action movies. 

Made it through the Sopranos, XFiles, The Office in previous winters.

Now watching, LOST!  Awesome series.

Top Gear. Plenty of seasons to watch

Archer

HIMYM

Anything that keeps my attention.  Both these shows are great for people with short attention spans. 

Had mostly been watching movies.

Just started going through Breaking Bad.

Besides a litany of movies that are on offer via Netflix, there are many documentaries as well.  Make sure you catch "Ride the Divide"! - Mountain biking through the continental divide.

Also, you can create your WatchList on YouTube; just like a video jukebox of music videos when you are tired of watching movies.  On long rides I will queue up a movie, and then have my "Exercise" watchlist waiting for me when the movie is done.

A couple of other series to watch is "Band of Brothers" and "From the earth to the moon" - each a multipart miniseries.  

I like things like this too.  It helps me suffer through boring hours on the trainer watching people suffer more. 

Another good one is The Flying Scotsman.

I have Running the Sahara in my queue too, but haven't watched it yet.

Absolutely.  If you have an interest in cars (in addition to bikes, of course!), this is the best show on television.
