CASE ASSIGNMENT: Netflix In February $2013,$ Netflix debuted House of Cards, a smoldering political drama starring Kevin Spacey and featuring direction by Hollywood heavyweights like David Fincher and Joel Schumacher. The streaming video service made all $13$ episodes of the original series$$ first season available at once$$a bold strategy in a television industry seemingly pulled in opposite directions by tradition and technological advancement. House of Cards proved an instant hit among critics and Netflix customers alike$$according to a Cowen and Co$.$ survey, $86$ percent of subscribers said that the availability of House of Cards made them less likely to cancel their subscriptions. A majority of respondents also said, however, that they would cancel their subscription if Netflix raised its $$7\mathrm{.}99-$a$-$month price. $$According to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, House of Cards $$met all of $($our$)$ expectations.$$ Netflix quickly made plans to follow the series with a broader lineup of exclusive shows including the second season of Lilyhammer $($Netfix$$s first foray into original programming$),$ gothic horror series Hemlock Grove, cult classic Arrested Development, and science$-$fiction epic Sense$8.$ Although such programming is proving popular$$to say the least$$among subscribers, the company has no plans to abandon its role as a hub for licensed television shows and movies. $$I don't want you guys to think that suddenly we're the original content.
