anybody watching the netflix original show, house of cards? id post a review but they all give plot points away. i cant compare it to the west wing because i never watched it but its light years better than the newsroom. one comment that i thought was true was that since netflix released them all at once, the creators didnt have to be constrained by the need to string viewers along with cliffhanger episodes and plot twist, and could develop the story with a more natural pacing. so im eight episodes in to the thirteen and its been mostly character development along with world building though i read that the last third of the season it becomes more of a political thriller. i dont know if the networks passed on this or the creators want ed more freedom (or got more money) but considering the tripe they normally feed the masses it looks like they blew it again.
