Thank you, you've been able to accurately describe my problem with all the true Netflix originals ("true" in that they haven't been bought from other countries or licensed). Except for OITNB, I kinda love that show and it doesn't seem entirely created and written to pander to a demo.

I'd love to see a day when Netflix premiers a show on the level of Better Call Saul or The Wire.

That would be at least the first few seasons of House of Cards for me. I wouldn't rank it quite as high as those two, but I was excited to watch it and any show that elicits that reaction is doing fine by me.

My problem with House of Cards is that it's devoid of mystery. I'm only interested when the plot is moving fast, which is probably 4 episodes a season. There's no introspection, none of the characters have personal motives (except for the "transient" girl who lasted 2 seasons).

I don't know, it's just been disappointing even though I marathon all the episodes when they appear.
