I'm thinking the Netflix model is something else too... Dangerous.
If you're a storyjunkie the level of quality is damn near irresistible. It's like having a bookstore in your house, open one and *boom*, sucks you right in. "On demand" becomes "demanding to be on".
There's something to this. I will obsessively stream the new seasons of "The League," "Orange is the New Black" and "Daredevil" whenever they're made available.
Thank god I never got into "House of Cards," but if they, for instance, triple the number of shows I feel the desire to stream in a given year, my productivity in life will crater.
I feel your pain. I just started getting into Vikings and its been tough to not binge watch a whole season all at once. There just is too many good shows available for a person who has a job.
