Toasty Tablet!

I’ll admit it – I’m a Netflix junkie. For only 7.99/month, Netflix offers me more movies and TV shows than I could watch in a life time. And if you’re a Netflix junkie like me, the Kindle Fire will be your best friend. You can watch shows anywhere in your house – your bed, your kitchen, your toilet – the whole world is your oyster.

So here are 5 Netflix shows that are perfect for watching on your Kindle Fire.

1. FLCL (anime)

FLCL is an acronym for ‘Fooly Cooly’ which is a euphemism for fondling a woman. Stick with me here. FLCL is a coming of age story, telling the tale of a young boy’s interactions with a pyromaniac teenager, a homicidal alien, the evil corporation Medical Mechanica, and  a host of other unique characters. Robots come out of the young boy’s head and he must defeat them to save the people he loves. It’s such a quirky story, but it really is heartwarming. Your eyes will tear up during the last episode. I guarantee it.

Warning: FLCL is one of the strangest shows you will ever see. You will either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. So far, I’ve watched the entire 6 episode series 3 times. Oh, I forgot to mention. FLCL is astoundingly short – 6 episodes that are only 20 minutes long. Some of FLCL’s content is not kid appropriate – it’s best if you watch it by yourself on your Kindle Fire.

2. Breaking Bad

Chemistry teacher turned meth cooker, Walter White is one bad-ass dude. Breaking Bad is my guilty pleasure. It is exceptionally violent, brutal, and gritty. It tells it like it is in the meth community. I appreciate that. Walter White’s interactions with his partner Jesse Pinkman are fantastically funny. They offer some comic relief to the show’s dark realism.

Over the course of six seasons, Walter White moves from the rank of small-time meth cooker to drug kingpin. Over the course of this transformation, Walter White personality evolves. No longer is he a white collar average-Joe. He is a viscous and calculating murderer, willing to do anything to protect his meth enterprise and his family. Watch it if you dare!

3. Office Space

Hate your work? At least you’re not like insecure office drone Peter Gibbons. Peter works at Initech, a company run by soulless bureaucrats who take pleasure in abusing their workers under the facade of a cheery smile. Peter suffers the abuse, slowly becoming more and more depressed. But after seeing a hypnotherapist, Peter just doesn’t care anymore. He becomes one with apathy.

Ignoring his bosses, skipping out on work, and bypassing social protocol, Peter becomes truly happy. But when Michael and Samire, Peter’s two best friends at Initech, are fired, they plans to steal $300,000 over the course of a few years using a virus program. The virus malfunctions and Peter is forced to confront himself over who he really is. A fantastic 1990′s cult classic – give it a shot!

4. Mad Men

Mad Men explores the lives of MAd Men, cutthroat executives working in advertisement agencies during the 1960′s. This AMC series is extraordinarily well-written, examining social issues such as woman rights, segregation, and infidelity through the eyes of rich businessmen.

Jon Hamm plays the role of Don Draper, a man’s man who fights his way up the business ladder while attempting to save his marriage. There are three seasons of Mad Men right now on Netflix and fourth season is coming March 25th. It’s a great series to watch on your  Kindle Fire.
