Dear Silo,
Man I gotta thank you guys for the recommendation for House of Cards. I am hooked. I am into this shit. This is some of the best long form television that I’ve seen and you know? Long form television is changing the game. This series! I mean shit you’ve got David Fincher and Joel Schumacher directing these television episodes. Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright; holy shit you know? Not to mention all the great people on HBO…I mean, long form television has…..there was a time when film actors wouldn’t dream of condescending to doing television and now long form television is the shit and this House of Cards shit is the shit. It is better than Homeland though I recommend The Newsroom although I don’t think it’s available on Netflix but The Newsroom is a helluva series. Wow.

Long form television now being labeled “art” http://www.popmatters.com/review/176106-how-to-watch-television/
Longform TV is the best. Having lived without cable for the last 6 years, most of my TV watching occurs through the Internet, and you get really used to “longforming” shows all at once. Waiting week by week for new episodes isn’t much fun.
