my netflix people...you check out House of Cards?

[dogfromduckhunt]

I hope they dont just drop the entire second season like they did the first. They need to drop epis weekly. And cosign @rage a major network is either gonna try to accuire the show or they gonna bite the consecpt

What benefit is there to drop a weekly ep?

Dropping an entire season is going to be the future. Netflix has done a lot of analytics and they know that people will binge out on their fave shows. Go through 2 or 3 seasons at a time. This new way of distributing content will change the way shows are written and produced. If they dont have to go weekly, they dont have to end each episode with some idiotic cliff hanger or some other played out convention that we see every single week from every single show. They are free to create a long and intricate 13 hour "movie". This is the first foray into this type of a format so it will only get better from here.

Don't see networks dropping whole seasons online. Would cut into advertising dollars. Works for netflix because of there business model..assuming they don't change their prices or lose another channel (i.e. Starz) to competition or try that Qwikster buffoonery again. That said, if they find a audience for one of there series, it wouldn't be a bad thing if they dropped one episode a week. Keeps people around longer. Won't have that hbo problem where people keep it just for one show for 3-4 months of the year.

And serialized shows aint nothing new.

Thats the point of netflix model (Direct to customer) of distribution. Because they don't have to answer to advertisers they can be far more liberal and progressive with the way they produce the shows. When H.O.C signed on with netflix they signed up for 2 seasons right of the bat. Every other network was only going to give them one season. How many shows have there been where we get into it for one season and just because the rest of the masses are too stupid and hooked on bullshit like 2.5 men it gets axed. With Netflix they can take the risk and allow the show to build a following. HBO Go is already doing similar things by dropping eps ahead of when they were supposed to air.

Secondly almost every new TV is a smart TV with wifi and Netflix built in, if not there are so many different and CHEAP ways of getting netflix on your TV. Its not like 5 years ago where only the tech savy knew how to download shows and throw them on their TV, now its no different than picking a TV channel.

Oh and none of you niggas want to see Frank on that Call of Duty multiplayer neither...LOL

@rage & others that have watched, how far are y'all into it? i just got done with ep. 9 & zoe is turning into a damn monster. the ether she served up in that last scene....oooh wee

I went 13 straight eps...mainlined it right into my bloodstream :S Francis Underwood and his team>>>>>

Zoe and Dana Gordon over there at that hippy rag arm's are too short to box with them...

finished up last night & this morning...great show. might just rewatch to make sure i got all the relationships & deals down.

the most interesting part of the show for me is seeing frank & claire's relationship. that's some down ass shit & throughout everything they still keep it "us" "we" "our" when talking to/about each other.

you never really see two hard hitting equals in a relationship on tv. one always fucks up & it ends like they didn't have a history.

Claire is a DOWN ASS BITCH...straight up and down the realest chic on TV.

"My husband doesnt apologize to anyone, not even me"

Oh and this show really isnt even about Politics, its about the flow and manipulation of power. Politics is the venue to show that.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Love almost anything Kevin Spacey is involved in. Will def check this out. And co sign that lilyhamer show, shit was dope.

 

[Will Munny]

finished the season. it was cool. poor russo.

I actually like Rachel.

 

[atribecalledgabi]

props to whoever sticked this.... @sion?

Its a BBC production...so you know it will be good.

 

[Will Munny]

kevin spacey was phenomenal. still seemed weird seeing him as and old southern guy tho.

 

[J. Will]

just downloaded it, bout to hop on it now

 

[J. Will]

Just watched the first two episodes....good shit..similar to Boss (which i loved) but on a federal level..

 

[bscoop]

Shit is extra dope. I started watching it the other day just because I saw 5 stars on the bitch instantly. I'm up to episode 11 and I actually want to stop watching the show because once I'm through the first season I won't have it to watch anymore. It is a pretty good fucking show.

Up there with Breaking Bad and The Wire

 

[requiem v2.0]

How is anyone to believe Russo killed himself? How do they figure he closes the garage door, then gets into the passenger side of his car? That's on the opposite side of the button. Then he somehow starts the car and rolls down the drivers side window? Let's not forget that the car needs to be on for you to do this, and that in order to turn the car on your foot needs to be on the brake.

I wonder if this will be part of season 2 because any half way decent detective would suspect foul play at this point.

 

[qtipp73]

and i thought i was hooked on breaking bad. i watched all 4 seasons on netflix in like a month. i wish i was late on this show too so i could watch every fucking episode. if they can continue and keep everybody this show is on its way to a SOA type following.

 

[VIBE]

First episode had me.

When his wife was disappointed about him coming home late and upset about his reaction to not being picked, I was like damn, he loves her more than sharks love blood...

I like how he talks to the audience too.

 

[J. Will]

I like his wife...usually shows dont be having a ride or die type wife i.e Skylar White...the way she handles herself is very sexy to me..

yup....shes the type of bish, where you have no choice BUT to succeed. She'd have made a great mob wife.

 

[Jao]

havent watched it yet. a while back i was spittin game to this actress chick on POF n she said that she was gonna b on this show n told me all about it. she lived too far away tho so i stopped talkin to her n lost contact. if i watch n she's as sexy as her pix were i might commit that

 

[MrSoutCity]

Russo is the nas of Capitol Hill

This nigga was just sad. I was hoping that he had slit his wrist.
