There are many reasons to order a Netflix subscription in 2013 -- one of the biggest being "House of Cards," the original series with Kevin Spacey that lands on the video and TV service this Friday. Netflix yesterday released a new trailer that gives audiences a taste of what the political drama will be about (hint: a mix of political scandal and Kevin Spacey being awesome).

The show is an adaptation from the eponymous novel by former British Conservative Party Chief of Staff Michael Dobbs. Spacey plays a “wily, murderous politician worming his way to the White House.”

With the announcement of the original series "House of Cards," becoming the exclusive home of the new "Arrested Development" series and receiving a boon from the government, Netflix has been having a historic few months -- and the trend only continues. Warner Bros. Television Group has granted the company exclusive rights to stream dramas "Revolution," "Political Animals," "Longmire," "666 Park Avenue" and "The Following," leaving the door open to license “potential future shows” as well. Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos called it an “unprecedented agreement."
