House of Cards

[Andy Nguyen]

Has anyone seen this Netflix series that features Kevin Spacey?
I don't normally watch long these types of TV series but checked it out and ended up watching through all the episodes in two seatings.
Can't wait for season 2.

I was really excited when I saw its poster in London until I realized it's not adapted from its namesake book.

Had tons of assignment piled up. But couldn't resist watching House of Cards. Love Kevin Spacey.. One of the few TV series that can match West Wing..

Yes, I see it is available on Netflix, but have not got chance to watch

The show is good, but it's sort of one-dimensional. Each character is good or evil, but not much of a mixture of both. And they're all tragically foolish in their one-dimensionality.

For not one-dimentional characters Game of Thrones is the best.

For not one-dimentional characters Game of Thrones is the best.

Agreed. Or Breaking Bad...

Breaking Bad is awesome! House of Cards is OK at best! The narration and dialogues are not innovative enough although the subject is fresh...The humor at times is pretty good...I guess if you like Kevin in 21, you'll like this as well. His tone, voice and acting is pretty much the same..

 

[Canuck]

Agreed. Or Breaking Bad...

Don't forget the wire, the sopranos, boardwalk empire, and southland.

 

[pruse]

Yup. Don't forget the wire, the sopranos, boardwalk empire, and southland.

The Wire, yes!
