The "House of Cards" season two premiere released on February 14, as planned, to many of it's fans dismay.
Many "House of Cards" fans are stuck inside due to the snowstorm grappling the northeast and some parts of the south began pleading with Netflix to release it a couple hours early on Feb. 13 so they could begin binge watching, exactly what they show is made for.
Brian Stelter of CNN, Alex Conant who is the press secretary for Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Fox News anchor Greta van Susteren and film reporter Charles Thorp were some of the few people in the media spotlight who joined the push for Netflix to release season three early. A petition was even started on Change.org.
Slate Magazine wrote a letter signed by America pleading for Netflix to release the season early.
"I know you have a whole host of viewing options, but the only thing that will keep us entertained for the amount of time we have to kill is a gripping, twisty drama "designed to be binge-watched," like, say, House of Cards. And not the first season.We watched that already. It was great! Now we need Season 2. Today," Slate wrote. "None of us are going to work. We're going to stay in, keep warm, and watch you. For hours. It's good for us! Not to mention you."
"If/when DC shuts down for blizzard Thursday, Netflix would be smart to make new 'House of Cards' available one day early," tweeted Alex Conant, the press secretary for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, CNN reported.
Fox News anchor Susteren responded to his tweet by saying: "You are right...one day early would be appreciated," according to CNN.
The Netflix original stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright and is made for binge-watching causing outrage from fans who thought it would be just for Netflix to do their snow-stranded fans a favor.
Netflix did not budge and when Stelter asked a spokesperson, their only remedy was to "Hunker down and re-watch season one so you are good and ready," CNN reported.
After Stelter tweeted Netflix's response, Conant expressed his was disappointed and called Netflix's decision "dumb," according to CNN.
The film reporter Thorp also commented on Netflix's decision by tweeting:"So Netflix deciding to not give us what we want, when we want it? Isn't that their whole business model?" CNN reported.
