House of Cards...Holy Crap - Watch It...

[Honu]

did not know there was a UK version ?

still like other shows better like justfied etc.....
to me vikings is getting a bit to stupid sadly and they are trying IMHO to make the characters to strange

also still liking hell on wheels a lot and unless it was cancelled ? waiting for this coming season

been watching more netflix stuff recently since we cut cable last year just watched that WWI show about the 14 diaries and really enjoyed it

The UK version is about 20 odd years old and its a miniseries as far as I can tell. PBS carried it a few months ago. I'm not sure if it's still available or not. 4 two hour episodes.

I'm about half way through season 3 right now. They blocked netflix at work so it's slow going for me

Halfway through season 2. Great show. I find that like Dexter and Breaking Bad, it isn't healthy to watch more than 3 episodes in a row though.

Does it get better later on? I watched the first 2 episodes of season 1 and I couldn't get into it...

have to look into that thanks

Yeah, it does. I wasn't really hooked until about halfway through season 1.

hard to say everyone has dif taste ? I might say watch one more if it does not get ya lots of other great shows
for me its the quirky way its done and the fact that I am sure how some politics really are which is actually kinda upsetting in a real way ?

Its pretty entertaining, I've seen all three seasons. Its less about actual political ideals and more about the seamy underbelly of top level politics. The main character Francis Underwood is a Democrat, but for the lack of a political agenda by the writers/producers, he could easily be a Republican.

ETA: Some of the best parts are when Frank talks directly to the viewer (you) and I normally hate that shit.

It doesn't get "good" until several episodes in as there is a lot of character back story to go through. That being said, it does get pretty devious later on. Would recommend you continue watching.
