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.
watched one episode last night. i don't find it very compelling, neither the dialogue nor the characters. mostly i found it depressing and i was reminded over and over how unambitious i am.
i will have to respectfully disagree with the right and honorable congresswoman from oregon. and i am very sorry to hear that the pet project in your district that you were championing, that of building a dam with faint praise, will once again go unfunded.
I watched it all and thought it was pretty good.
i've watched a few more, and am coming around.
it started to get interesting when frank slept with zoe.
