Damn, I absolutely love "House of Cards" on Netflix. Kevin Spacey is truly a man amongst boys when it comes to his acting chops. Still, their are so many great choices, Arrested Development, Orange is the New Black, and Lilyhammer. Whatcha think?

I loved House of Cards too, and agree with you summation of Kevin Spacey's acting. Its a shame that season 2 will be the last season.
Lilyhammer was a pleasant surprise, I knew nothing about the show going in, and for a mostly unknown cast, I thought they did a great job...looking forward to seeing season 2.
I loved Arrested Development when it was on Fox, and was really looking forward to it on Netflix. Sadly I think it fell very short of it former glory on Netflix. I understand they are considering a 5th season, all I can hope is that they get back to the formula that make it one of the funniest comedies ever produced.
Orange Is The New Black is by far my favourite series on Netflix, its smart, funny, dramatic, and sexy. The acting, again with a lot of unknowns, is fantastic, and the storylines even with being stuck in a prison were always fresh. Its a shame that Laura Prepon is only going to be in a few episodes next season.
The other series I enjoyed was Hemlock Grove, some called it a teen werwolf series, but I think it was much much more than that...glad its back for a 2nd season.
I wasn't a fan of the Ricky Gervais show Derek. I was expecting more, and never got it. I mean...there are funny moments, and I love dry humour, it was just a little too dry for me.
Those are all the Netflix series that I've seen, looking forward to seeing most of these return, plus the other shows they have up their sleeves. I think the 4 Marvel shows they have in pre production could be interesting, but could also backfire because they're lesser known characters. The one new show that I'm quite looking forward to is Sense8 from the Wachowski siblings...I think it has a late 2014 release.

The Marvel deal floored me. I like how Netflix makes a series. In my opinion, they're second only to HBO in production. Add Marvel to the mix and I'm very excited to see what they have up their sleeves. Although I have my doubts that it will have much to do with Netflix as it's considered to be a joint venture between Marvel, ABC, and Netflix. Still, the character choices alone are intriguing. Daredevil might be mainstream, but Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are welcome additions to a world dominated by Wolverine and Thor.
