After being told by 3 or 4 associates whom I respect that I must watch it - and after putting it off for months - I finally dug in and power watched both seasons in past couple weeks.
I was astounded, on so many fronts. This is must see TV for political junkies. I mean, anyone might like it, but the politically involved will find it fascinting, and teachable, illustrative…..
Anyone else
I tried but just couldn’t get into it. Maybe because I’ve watched the British version and U.S. one just doesn’t measure up.
I don’t understand what your motivation was for House of Cards. Perhaps pure entertainment? My interest in HOC was the truth about Washington that it demonstrated. The British version is useless for that. If you wanted another British version, you just didn’t understand what you were watching....you should totally divorce them in your mind.
Besides, I don’t believe for a minute the Netflix HOC doesn’t measure up, not by objective standards.
