I loved the format. I didn't binge watch House of Cards. If one cannot discipline themselves to one or two programs a night of anything on commercial television, then they are bingeing. I truly dislike commercial television. Poor quality. However, for House of Cards from the first 15 minutes one could see this was a high budget program and many things had to be mentally digested. Just because all the Andy Griffith Shows are on Netflix, I don't feel I need to watch them all in one week, and I really enjoy that program. The choice is personal, if it was binged by viewers, that was their choice, not the producer's or the director's choice. Frank Underwoof, nice to meet you!

Being in a social forum for TV programs and Movies, I am the guru of HOC and I can honestly say, out of thousands of viewers around the world, HOC was very well received by all age groups, ethic backgrounds, lifestyles. The acting, and the use of the fourth wall was pure genius, was well oiled. I personally find Spacey's body of works incredible! How about a series with Spacey using the fourth window with all his threats - the triple threat! Thanks Netflix for the superb program!

D.C. is America's largest theme park after Disneyland and Hollywood,and the rides are super scary

Unfortunately the salaries paid to those who create these shows is not part of the discussion. These new internet companies (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc..) do not pay the crew as much as networks or cable. It should come as no surprise that those at the bottom, carpenters, painters, grips, production assistants, wardrobe, etc.. suffer the most. What I find most annoying is that many of these companies profited from pirated content for years and now have turned around to produce the content themselves but refuse to pay fair wages. First you steal the product, then you knock it off with cheap labor.

i loved the series,very well done.but i think that whoever did the BBC mini-series called "HOUSE OF CARDS",in the early ninetys, should at least get some recognition.in all the coverage i've heard,it hasn't been said that this is an adaptation,a very ,very good one.

We've already been watching TV shows this way for years. Full seasons of popular shows could be rented from Blockbuster and Netflix. Enough for a rainy weekend or marathon viewing. But I (and many others) prefer our shows on a weekly basis because it's on a manageable schedule. Binge-viewing a show pressures one into "making time" to watch that show.

I wouldn't be surprise if folks with jobs and/or kids will simply set up a daily or weekly schedule to watch House of Cards episodes. It's even likely that they will just stop watching it due to the hassle (like owners of full DVRs). Letting someone else (the networks) schedule our TV viewing doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves.

Love it. Jefferson and Adams meet Machiavelli and Sun Tzu.
