Welcome back to tvDownload’s social media column — written for the people and by the people, like some kind of millennials’ Pravda. It’s where you can come to find out what the internet is saying about your favorite shows, and to see what new stuff might be worth checking out. You do want to fit in with the rest of us, don’t you, comrade?
Vice launched its new cable channel Viceland this week by premiering eight documentary-style shows with incendiary names like Balls Deep, Fuck That’s Delicious and Weediquette. Although a travel series called Gaycation is getting the most attention (likely because it’s co-hosted by Ellen Page) people are talking about all eight shows. One thing you can say for Vice is that they know their demo… because they basically created it.

The show pitches are coming in left and right.
I'd like my own show on #VICELAND where I try coffee all over the world and try to describe it without knowing what I'm doing.

New goal to add to the list, get a show on #VICELAND about young ppl around the world like me with an invisible illness. #beinformed

House of Cards’ new season dropped on Friday, and Twitter immediately launched into a binge-watching competition.
Many people will look physically & mentally exhausted this weekend. It's not the flu, it's #HouseOfCards binging.

Season 4 of #HouseOfCards is up?! I should have called out of work sick! I know how I'm spending my free time this weekend…

Finally, the reason why Robin Wright has always seemed like royalty is revealed.
Agent Carter closed out its second season this week, and it’s unclear whether it will be renewed for a third. To combat disappointing ratings, rabid fans have taken to Twitter with a #RenewAgentCarter hashtag.
Peggy Carter deserves season 3. Hayley Atwell deserves season 3. The writers deserve season 3. The fans deserve season 3. #RenewAgentCarter

Maybe I could start a campaign & mail these in to ABC & ask them to #RenewAgentCarter I've been finding lots! https://t.co/PbhABKtXua

Seriously, ABC, how can you say no to this fan art?

Or this cosplay?
News broke on Friday that a knife found at OJ Simpson’s Rockingham estate will be treated by police as a potential murder weapon in the Nicole Brown/Ronald Goldman killing. And the press could not be better for The People V. O.J. Simpson.
Soooo this retired officer collaborated with the #PeoplevsOJ producers on this, right?
— Samantha Cortese (@SamanthaCortese) March 4, 2016
With the #PeoplevsOJ miniseries only about half finished, shouldn't the LAPD give a spoiler alert warning before today's press conference?!

This is what happens when you do "True-Crime" stories… reality can add to the narrative, how many will now watch #PeoplevsOJ that didn't?
— Tim Baysinger (@tim_bays) March 4, 2016
No way this is just viral marketing, right?
@BillSimmons Best season two promotional idea ever. #PeoplevsOJ
— NotChesterLemon 🧢 (@ItsChetLemon) March 4, 2016
And thus, a thousand Knife Truthers were born.
Knife found on #OJ ex's property is just part of the #FX series #PeopleVsOJ hype. Will have no relevance to case. #LAPD
