After a slam dunk with House of Cards, is Netflix's newest original content on track for another major success?

The following video is from Wednesday's installment of The Motley Fool's Weekly Tech Review, in which analysts Eric Bleeker and Jason Moser look at the biggest stories driving the tech sector this week.

Orange Is the New Black premiered on Netflix (NFLX -0.63%) on Thursday. Can writer Jenji Kohan draw in devoted Netflixers? Producing original content frees Netflix of the burden of licensing fees, and House of Cards, Netflix's first foray into original content, built some serious buzz. Can Orange capitalize on this?

The relevant video segment can be found between 11:23 and 17:05.
