Let's see, The TV show Millennium was pretty good, if you haven't seen it. A Dog's Breakfast was good. Iron man and Dark Knight were both really good. Maybe some older classic movies such as the original Day the Earth Stood still, I was going to rent a bunch of classic Sci-fi on netflix, but my parents canceled the subscription before I could. Pan's Labyrinth was an excellent movie, if you don't mind subtitles.
If you like Horror, I just got Orphan from my sister for Christmas, it was pretty good (one awkward scene just to warn you, in case if your watching with family or anything).
Dexter, all 3 seasons, you probalby wouldn't like The Tudors for the soap aspect, but it's also full of pretty girls that get naked every so often...and you learn a bit of history
Shawshank Redemption is good. Rome is also good, ran for 2 seasons on hbo and is very R rated for content, violence and nudity. Band of Brothers is also good
you could catch up on NCIS, it has 6 seasons on dvd. there's a movie called 'shattered'...dare you to figure hte twist out.

Hope that helps.
i'll try a dog's breakfast
i own dark knight and i hated iron man
tried earth stood still
i'll get Pan's Labyrinth thanks
ok, if you don't like nudity, dexter has some...but not a ton. I can think of a half dozen sex scenes over the years. and the f bomb gets dropped quite often. it is a darn good show though.
rome and tudors....you probably won't like them for that aspect. rome is very brutal in places (it's rome in the days of julius caesar, people die bloodily and violently), tudors has some violence, but the show is about henry the 8th and his wives....and htem wives do what wives do
so rome and tudors will probably have too much nudity and sex for your tastes. Dexter has some but it's more punctuation or fits with the plot rather than for the titillation factor.
band of brothers is very good...i haven't caught the whole thing not edited for TV, but it's about a group of soldiers in WWII, so i doubt there's much sex and you're more likely to get war type violence and some language
i can't recall the nudity quotient for Tudors and Rome. I think Rome was less so, but, you know, season 1 of the Tudors was Anne seducing Henry so, seduction usually leads to nudity and sex
you could always look on the showtime site and see how each eps is rated. showtime is re-running all 3 seasons of the Tudors in prep for the s4 premiere in a couple of months, so their site should be fairly up to date
oh, presuming netflix has this, want some very safe 70's tv?
Emergency
gotta love 70's cheese, fake blood and sometimes cliched acting...but it's a fun cheese. and when you consider that the wrecks and fires they dealt with were recreated - no green screen here - you have to admire the talent and skill it took to recreate stuff like that.
I've just discovered Chuck. you may have already seen it, but if not, it's hilarious.
Anyway, you can always explore older shows, from the 80's and 90's. Quantum Leap. the original Night Rider, Air Wolf. St. Elsewhere. Sliders. Bay WAtch. MacGuiver lol. Plenty of fodder for Netflix.
May your que never run dry.

Some people have a way with words. Others not have way.
If you haven't watched it, you should definitely try Weeds. It's a great black comedy about suburban mom Nancy Botwin, that is forced to become a pot dealer to maintain her, and her sons lifestyle, after her husband dies.
The show goes through a bit of change in season 4, but I really think that this is waht keeps it fresh. And you just gotta love the ending of the fifth season. It has officially moved up Shane Botwin to spot of favorite character in my mind.
Seasons 1-4 are simply the best television ever written, bar none. Season 5 was a bit of a letdown, but still a lot better than most TV.
