Netflix is a provider of on-demand Internet streaming media available to viewers in North and South America and parts of Europe. It continues to offer flat rate DVD-by-mail in the United States (its original business model) where mailed DVDs are sent via Permit Reply Mail. As of September 2014, Netflix has subscribers in over 40 countries. In 2011, Netflix began acquiring original content for its popular subscription streaming service, beginning with the hour-long political drama House of Cards, which debuted on the streaming service in 2013. This marked the beginning of an increasingly large effort to acquire and produce original content, an effort that has resulted in critically successful shows such as Orange is the New Black, a fourth season of Arrested Development, and the Academy Award nominated documentary The Square.
