House of Cards

Post by Unisaw »

Great series produced by Netflix. A modern day, bear knuckles West Wing. Kevin Spacey makes this work. Try it - you'll enjoy. Tough to pull off Washington political intrigue - this show works.

Just started it last night, watched first two episodes. So far his wife is really fucking annoying and seems off her rocker.

I really don't care for the gimmick where he keeps breaking the fourth wall. Doesn't seem to fit in a serious drama. Also, the lighting is just terrible to the point of distracting in some scenes.

Other than those nuisances, it has potential. A lot better than most of HBO's shows. I see they kept the tits, though.

I'm hoping the "breaking the fourth wall" is to orient viewers early and then fades. I like how they show texts - I can never read the damn phone screen.
