"House of Cards," the D.C.-based drama starring Kevin Spacey, premieres on Netflix on Feb. 1. But when we say "premiere" we don't merely mean the first episode. The entire first season will be ready to stream from the service, a big change in the way television is being delivered, as outlined in a feature story in the February issue of GQ. "What a company like Netflix is doing is the ultimate expression of individual control, proof of what people's attention span really is," Spacey told the magazine. He serves as an executive producer for the show as well.

Besides being featured in the magazine, "House of Cards," will get a D.C. premiere, with Spacey and other members of the cast scheduled to hit town next week.
