Netflix recommendations

It's not on UK Netflix but on the issue of time investment-to-enjoyment ratio, may I humbly recommend Brotherhood? It weighs in at a modest 29 episodes over three seasons.
 
I have only watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul in terms of series....I tried Orange is the New Black for a while but gave that one up.

Recent movies...well music documentaries are more my thing -

Janis: Little Girl Blue is excellent (I also saw in cinema)
Montage of Heck the Kurt Cobain one (saw in cinema)
The Other One - The long, strange trip of Bob Weir is also excellent.
What happened, Ms Simone? is great. Seen it twice and would watch again
Marley - saw in Brixton with Raverdrew, it's brilliant
Reincarnated (Snoop Dogg documentary about his pilgrimage to Jamaica) very entertaining - stick with the hip hop Snoop...I watched this in Brixton Ritzy
There's a Keith Richards one thats great and a Frank Sinatra one. Those two I watched while cooking. I'm also interested in the music/ film business and recommend Supermensch - the legend of Shep Gordon. Surprisingly good.

The other day I enjoyed the Amanda Knox one, recently out. All of the above are on Netflix and recommended. I love anything biographical about real life, and especially music.

Been looking for Louis Theroux's My Scientology Movie but its not on Netflix :(

Found a thing called Community. It's very odd, but I like it. Lots of intertextuality and parody and pop references. Very clever. It has Trudy from Mad Men and a very old looking Chevy Chase.

No doubt you all know about this. But it's new to me.

Community is superb fun, absolutely love it.

The same guy who created that also created Rick and Morty, which is also fabulous although certainly of a different flavour. Uses cartoons and crass humour to delve into various philosophical conundrums.

Community is amazing. I adore it.

There is a 6th season but it's hosted somewhere on yahoo.

Community really properly comes into it's own towards the end of season 1 - around episode 18 if memory serves.
 
In all, I'm finding Netflix to be a better service than I expected. There is some buffering, but not as much as I feared, and a couple of times the connection has dropped out. So not as good as a DVD, say, but still pretty good. DVDs get scratched etc, so I look at the glitches like that: every format has them.

The sheer volume of stuff is still overwhelming.

I've been trying to find things I've heard of but hadn't had access to. Not all of them seem to be on Netflix. Do things get taken off? Like is there a "run", equivalent to traditional TV?

Some things, like Battlestar Galactica, have limited runs. But mostly, Netflix just doesn't have the rights to everything. It's not like a video rental shop. Some things are on Netflix, some on amazon prime, some on Now TV/sky.

Fist full of paintball. But Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and Remedial Chaos theory are stone cold classics.

I always wanted to see Nurse Jackie, for example, and thought I'd read earlier this year that it was available on Netflix. I'm guessing someone else bought the rights since then or something?

I understand about it only having a finite number of titles. I just need to get my head around the way one watches them. Are they rotated? Or do they just sit there indefinitely until or unless another company puts in a bigger offer?

(For background - I get the Radio Times. That's how I'm used to ordering my viewing. - Something I like the look of is scheduled and I try to catch it. In fact that's probably where I read Nurse Jackie was on Netflix).
