Really good speech from Kevin Spacey fully endorsing the Netflix model of television and showing he knows exactly what people want from TV and movies now:
There's no doubt that this is where the future of TV is headed. The 100% + ratings surge for Breaking Bad this season alone tells you how many people have caught up with it just over the past year, and probably through Netflix, where all 5 seasons are streaming. People want ongoing stories, and they want to be able to watch it whenever they want and however many they want at a time. This can allow shows to build up an audience through word of mouth. I know for a fact AMC would never have canceled Breaking Bad if you could have told them the ratings were going to explode in the final season thanks to people having a chance to catch up with it (although having an end point is another way for a show like this to hang onto its creative quality).
