Season two of House of Cards has officially been out for a little over 80 hours, meaning you’ve probably already gorged yourself on all thirteen episodes. (WARNING: Some [non-critical] spoilers lie ahead.) The best worst part? An Anonymous-style hacker and his faithful sidekick, Cashew the guinea pig—every single second of which was absolutely, phenomenally over-the-top ridiculous.

Marketplace’s Queena Kim was in Netflix’s war room at the moment season 2 of House of Cards went live, getting a peek at how Netflix pulls off dropping an entire season of phenomenal television into our addled, impatient laps. Just thinking about that sudden rush of millions of fans clicking on the new season of HoC makes my head spin, yet they did it again without a hitch.

I have a date tonight. And it’s with Frank Underwood. The entire second season of the Emmy award winning series is now available for your enjoyment on Netflix.
The broad strokes are well known. House of Cards is an amazing TV show only available on Netflix, proving that with the right amount of cash, quality TV shows can be made and distributed outside traditional channels. Starring Kevin Spacey. Robin Wright and Kate Mara, House of Cards focuses on the delicate politics of Washington D.C and, well, the house of cards that is America’s government.
Watch the show. Just remember, it is not healthy to binge. Take plenty of breaks.
Netflix made history last night by scoring three Emmys—in the process becoming the first company to win awards for online-only shows.

Up until this one specific camera shot, 31 minutes and 42 seconds into the sixth episode of House of Cards, it had all been going pretty well. The endearing evil of the series’ anti-hero Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey, there on the left) had carried me through the first five installments at a brisk pace, to the extent that even the most blatant Apple and Sony product placements had largely gone unnoticed. (Underwood: “Is that a PS Vita? I oughta get one of these for the car.”)
I happen to be from the UK, where paid product placements on TV shows were banned until 2011 and where we’re particularly sensitive to such things, so I must have been engrossed. But then this desk shot happened. My disbelief stopped suspending and promptly clattered to the floor. It had nothing to do with Apple specifically, or even the principle of commercial gadget cameos. My paranoia runs deeper than that, and it has so far prevented me from going back to watch the rest of the series. Read on and I’ll explain.

House of Cards may not be Netflix’s first stab at original content, but it’s by far its most important. Whether people turn to the streaming service for shows it can’t find anywhere else will define the company’s chance at future success.
