    Dunno. Orange is the New Black isn't half bad. That Kevin Spacey thing is shit. Hemlock Grove is crap, and I used to hang out with Brian McGreevy regularly. If Netflix can stop shooting for "slightly better than Lillyhammer" and aim for "slightly better than Treme" they'll have something. HBO wasn't shit until OZ so it'll happen.

Orange is the New Black is pretty poor to be honest, It can be summed up as lesbians in a cage, sure they are interesting to watch but its still shit. I liked House of Cards though, except for that god awful episode where they returned to his college days. I haven't seen Lillyhammer but the picture on Netflix alone is enough to put me off until someone tells me its worth a spin.

Treme, I tried to watch it after finishing The Wire as it has several of the same actors/writers and it didn't click. Same thing with The Corner. I must give them a second shot sometime.
