House of Cards is a TV show, but on Netflix. You can watch all thirteen episodes all at once or one per day, like Appointment Television.
It is not one of those cheesy Internet Series, but a professionally made one, for Netflix has poured $ 50 million just for Season 1 alone.
I have seen 7 episodes thus far. The show is made compelling by Kevin Spacey who acts as the "King Maker" senator. Reminds you of "Wag the Dog".
I give it a five-star rating not only for the content, but also for the genius of Netflix.
I think they have nailed it. "House of Cards" is indeed the future of Television.
"You can watch anything anytime" had lot of promise, but is not very successful as a business model.
On-demand Video lacks the "looking forward-to-ness" of Appointment Television, as well as the freshness for water cooler conversations.
"House of Cards" provides them both and I predict we would start seeing contents of different sizes, pretty soon.
