    Breaking Bad Is Your Favorite TV Marathon as Users Vote in Netflix’s First Ever Flixies

    Late last month, Netflix announced the first ever Flixie awards, which asked users to vote on their favorite TV shows and movies available on the Netflix Instant catalog. The awards featured some untraditional categories like “Best Bromance” and “Best Hangover Cure.”

    Now, your votes are in and Netflix has released the results of the contest.

    Without further ado, here are your gold, silver, and bronze finishers in each category:

    Best TV Marathon: 1) Breaking Bad 2) Battlestar Galactica 3) House of Cards

    Best PMS Drama: 1) Grey’s Anatomy 2) Glee 3) Friday Night Lights

    Best Guilty Pleasure: 1) The Vampire Diaries 2) Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3) Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    Best Bromance: 1) Blue Mountain State 2) The League 3) Top Gear

    Best Hangover Cure: 1) How I Met Your Mother 2) Arrested Development 3) Family Guy

    Best Commute Shrtner: 1) Mythbusters 2) Louis C.K.: Chewed Up 3) Portlandia

    Best Tantrum Tamer: 1) The Muppet Movie 2) Phineas and Ferb 3) Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax

    Well, there are some pretty solid choices here – especially that Best TV Marathon category. If you started from the top and streamed Breaking Bad, followed by Battlestar Galactica and House of Cards, you’d have yourself a very entertaining two weeks or so, depending on your real-life obligations.

    Netflix Looks to Crown the Best PMS Drama, Best Bromance, and More with The Flixies

    Netflix is looking to “honor the ways you really watch Netflix” by giving out awards to films and TV shows in some untraditional award categories.

    The company has just launched The Flixies, just two days after the Academy Awards, and they want you to vote on which program available on Netflix Instant is the best in categories like “Best Guilty Pleasure” and “Best Hangover Cure.”

    Each category contains 12 pre-selected titles to choose from. For instance, the “Best Bromance” category features titles like Commando, Act of Valor, Warrior, Snatch, and Top Gear. The “Best Hanover Cure” category let’s you vote on titles like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, How I Met Your Mother, Archer, and Arrested Development.

    The full list of categories are: Best Tantrum Tamer, Best Commute Shortener, Best Guilty Pleasure, Best TV Marathon, Best PMS Drama, Best Bromance and Best Hangover Cure. Clearly not your traditional award categories.

    You can cast your vote today, and everything ends on March 10th. Anyone can vote for The Flixies – both Netflix members and non-members (as long as they reside in countries where Netflix is available). While you’re voting, you can also suggest new Flixie categories that accurately represent the different ways that you’re streaming content on Netflix.
