The video streaming site announced that it's ordering a 12 episode third season -- almost double the already existing episodes. The show first began airing in the United Kingdom back in 2011, but only made its Netflix debut last year, where it became an international success.

Most armchair theorists believe that Boehner's plan is to force a government spending bill through the House, over the objections of ultra-conservative members trying to take a stand against Planned Parenthood and possibly create a government shutdown in protest, and leave on his own before those same fellow Republicans could vote him out of the leadership.
