This short was released to YouTube a day before Kevin Spacey was charged with sexually assaulting a teenager at a bar in Massachusetts.
Although there's an abundance of understandable negativity towards this "short film" by Kevin Spacey, he is in fact speaking to a large number of House of Cards fans who felt that Spacey carried the show (proven by comments on the YouTube channel), being the central character who had narrated the entire series up to the final season when he's suddenly pronounced dead: Which is why Kevin as Frank Underwood is speaking to the screen i.e. to the audience, breaking the 4th wall like "Frank" had done on the series.
Netflix had nothing to do with the production and online release of this short.
