Also celebrated 2013, the dramedy television series Orange Is the New Black and Horror Series Hemlock Grove at the premiere online service. In 2014 the publications of the drama series are narcos and the science fiction series Sense8 planned.
Competition
Netflix wants to co-exist with ISPs/MVPDs to avoid pricing wars: “The stability of the MVPD subscriber base, despite Netflix large membership, suggests that most members consider Netflix complementary to, rather than a substitute for, MVPD video.” So don’t blame Netflix and therefore don’t punish Netflix customers by charging more for heavy video usage. (This is an argument for net neutrality without using that politically charged term.)
