Well, to be completely honest, I came into this forum to discuss my new love for the show (just started season 2 last night) and I was amazed to find no threads talking about it.

My thoughts:

I personally love the show. As a Netflix exclusive, I kind of wish that some of my friends who don't have it had another (legal of course lol) way of viewing it and discussing it with me, but I'm also fond of how they can push the boundaries since it doesn't necessarily have to follow the laws of televised programming.

I absolutely love the way the story and production is set up. Politics and the BS that goes on around The Hill fascinates me because it is a "dog eat dog" world there where you know people can't be trusted behind closed doors. I feel like they portray it perfectly. I love the way the production works as well with Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) stopping every so often to explain pieces to the viewer, right there in the scene. A different style to the cutaway sequencing. Brilliant. Overall it's just one of those shows that leaves me wanting to watch more, but at 3am or so I'm torn between another episode or sleep. Also, Kevin Spacey is the man. I've always loved his performances, but to me, he just sticks this role of Frank Underwood so perfectly. The "anti-hero" that you love to hate and is so maniacal, manipulative and deviant. It's amazing his work in it.


So... That's where I stand with the show. I'd love to know what you guys think of it. If you haven't seen it or heard of it, I would highly recommend it to you. Let me know what you guys think of it!

I have been wanting to start watching this show for a long time. And from what you said about it, I cannot wait.

I may start it later today.

I've seen this show all up and down the web and on Netflix, I never really tried to watch it though because I didn't think I could get into a show about politics, I'm more of a Horror/Action/Comedy lover but who knows maybe I'll give this show a shot.

Oh I'd totally recommend it, the story goes a lot deeper than politics. It's one of those ones that makes you think, but in ways that will astound you. I'd suggest giving it a chance, but if not, it's all good haha
