Netflix is offering a Mitt Romney documentary as punishment for those of you who did not appreciate "House of Cards."

"Look interesting Mitt." "I'm trying to look interesting."

Netflix is casting its vote for Mitt Romney.

The subscription streaming service, which has become an increasingly influential player in the original content sphere, will premiere the Romney documentary Mitt exclusively beginning Jan. 24 at 12:01 a.m. PST.

Mitt, which also was announced Monday as part of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival's Documentary Premieres lineup, provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at a candidate running for president. The Greg Whiteley-helmed film will make its debut at Sundance on Jan. 17.

The film follows Romney’s Oval Office aspirations beginning Christmas 2006 to his initial run to become the Republican nominee in 2008 and through his concession speech in 2012. Given unprecedented access by Romney and his family, Whiteley travels alongside the campaign through interactions with potential voters, preparations for the debates and personal moments with his family. It all concludes with election-night results.

"Greg Whiteley’s Mitt provides viewers a surprising level of access into a fascinating world," said Lisa Nishimura, Netflix vp original documentary and comedy. "This rare inside look at Mitt Romney and his family as he runs for president showcases a unique kind of storytelling, one which takes the viewer well beyond the politics."

OMGD! How in the hell does somebody drink enough caffeine to stay conscious through this snoozefest?

I can see it now.

"Here's Mitt Romney pumping his own gas almost like an earthling"

"Here's Mitt Romney trying to show affection like a human being."

"Here's Mitt Romney trying to think up an answer as to WHY he wants to be President."

"Here's Mitt Romney trying to eat fair food. Isn't he just so lifelike?"

But to be fair, I might just watch it. You know just to see how long I can get through it before my eyes roll up into my head and I pass out onto the floor from sheer mind numbing boredom.

This is what Netflix spends my subscription money on instead of getting that 2nd season of "Orange is the New Black" up and running. Idiots!
