Anecdotally: We created a Netflix account when S4 of Arrested Development was released, and have kept it specifically to watch House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, obviating the need to torrent* them.

The other content on Netflix is a bonus but our primary reason for having an account is for the Netflix original shows which we have enjoyed thus far. I imagine there are others in similar positions.

*I am in Australia and am using a DNS service to access Netflix, which is clunky and annoying but workable. Torrenting those shows is the only other realistic option.

I'm also in Australia and use the same DNS tricks to access Netflix. A couple of days ago I started watching Orange is the New Black and am enjoying it immensely so far. House of Cards is also on My List too but I need a few more hours in the day to get to it.

The most frustrating thing about Netflix is that so often I hear of a movie I'd like to watch but it's not on Netflix so I often download it instead. Sometimes it will be available via Roku's movie service (M-Go), but even then sometimes the movies are Buy only with no option to rent. Why do the studios make it so hard to give them money?!@?
