I'm going to echo the other commenters here and ask why House of Cards was a hugely bad decision. It's funny because just today I reactivated my Netflix account

  As to the problem... Let's assume that they're not going to make major policy decisions based on just this one show and instead that it's a ramp up of what started with Lillehammer. We'll see them putting out content more and more frequently. As they put out more and more 'original' content, it becomes more likely that even if there is a month you're not interested in something new you'll stick around for the next new thing. I've been a subscriber (and cable cord-cutter) for years and even without the original content it's been worth the small fee. I don't think we'll know for awhile whether the strategy is successful, but I certainly think it's more promising then qwikster (:

    They've said already that they plan on putting out at least 5 new Netflix original series a year.

  Building an audience takes time. When you have an asset this good, you should try to build an audience. It's simple to come into contact with spoilers which is hugely annoying. There's no social media activity. No water cooler talk. Little anticipation. Etc, etc.
