House of Cards

[arely staircase]

Just finished the first episode. Will there be any sympathetic characters? Don't get me wrong. It is a hell of a show. But everybody is such an SOB and remind me of why I quit the political consulting biz and started teaching. I like the teachers union guy, but so far he is peripheral.

1. We watched the first three episodes

and then said "meh."

9. Ian Richardson was great in the original.

I haven't seen the new adaptation, but that is the way of things.

2. I watched them all in a few days months ago. It was interesting..

I can't give you anything more because of spoiler alerts.. we'll talk when you've seen them all.

Season 2 is coming out in February.

3. cool

Lots of twists and turns. The young reporter woman letting Spaceys character take the nudie pics was a train crash you can see coming. But, yeah dont tell me.

4. I watched the original British series of "House of Cards", so I was disappointed with this version.

5. You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment

When it comes to being a dick Kevin Spacey isn't even in the same league with the Prime Minister in the original BBC version of this series.

Ian Richardson is so creepy he makes your skin crawl.
