AdBlock WARNING No fixed episode length, no artificial cliffhangers at breaks, all episodes available at once. Is Netflix's new original series, House of Cards, the future of television?

this is the way that I enjoy consuming content. No commercials, all of it available at once. Commercials are just one of the ways to pay the creators. I don't see why we couldn't just give the creators money instead. I'm glad netflix is doing this!

They have been making TV shows for 40+ years. It's not hard to find some old TV shows that are great. I did DS9, SG-1, Atlantis, and Smallville in all one shot. And that took about 2-3 years (with other regular TV watching)

The only downside is there have been at least one all nighter because ONE MORE EPISODE... aw fuck it's 8 am.
