Netflix: House of Cards
Premieres tomorrow. All 13 episodes drop at once.
Heres an interesting nugget from a Forbes column: http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothyp...s-this-friday/ But BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield thinks that if House Of Cards is a success, Netflix could also start demanding a fee from the broadband suppliers that plug their fat pipes into our homes and let us stream House Of Cards in the first place. You can read Greenfield’s full report here (subscription required) but his basic idea is that the cable companies are taking about $40 bucks a month from you for your Internet service and not sharing any of that with the content side because for the most part, they are paying networks like AMC and Discovery a per subscriber fee on the cable side. If Netflix’s exclusive programming takes off and viewers demand it, Netflix could be in a position to start taking a per subscriber fee from the cable guys on the Internet side. It’s not a completely unprecedented idea. According to Greenfield, ESPN gets a per sub fee for ESPN 3 from broadband. It would be a bold move on Hastings’ part and one that he’s not yet in a position to make. But if shows like House Of Cards help Netflix become the next HBO, the service could be looking at a whole new stream of revenue. |

Yes, I stayed up to watch the first episode after the release. Hey, I'm busy all weekend and won't be able to watch anymore.
But HOLY SHIT just in the opening sequence

The wife and I are going on a serious binge this weekend. She'll try to reel me in and we'll probably only get through six episodes or so. I'll force the issue and try to watch the whole damn season.
Dis gun b good. |

This is by far the best season, and I'm only halfway through.

I watched five episodes Friday night and had the rest finished up by yesterday afternoon. It was excellent. However, I enjoyed the first two seasons more.

I think the actor playing Doug should get an Emmy.

I marathoned season 3 yesterday and I really really liked it. Its catching a ton of shit most other places just because Frank doesnt suceed quite like he did in season 1 and 2. People are failing to understand that once he reached POTUS, he was faced with some insurmountable challenges. He wasnt elected, probably his biggest challenge. Tons of bi partisanship and people at his throat. Its now no longer him being able to outwit everybody to get what he wants, he actually has to fight and claw for everything that happens, and it isnt happening quite as often as previous seasons, and that is okay. I mean house of cards is the name of the show and they have to show his downfall eventually.
I agree with you BRC, Doug deserves some sort of award, his acting is phenominal. A lot of people really didnt enjoy his arc this season and I have to think it is because they never appreciated Doug in the first place. IMO he is the 2nd most important character in the entire series, and at times he is a better actor than Spacey.
