First off I despise Washington DC and how it is grabbing power that belongs to the states and to the citizens.
so..... For a long time I refused to watch this series. I was wrong. As far as I can tell only the Democrat Party is in this. It shows the Democrat operatives, Senators, President, Congressmen and skullduggery they engage in to keep and exercise power
This gets 5 out of 5 stars from me. Lots of dark humor and sexual activity outside the marriage. Lots of undermining of rivals. Lots of horse trading.
So far I have not seen these inside the Beltway Democrats do one useful thing. All they do is blow the taxpayers money to buy votes
Great show. Spellbinding, great acting. Yes, it’s prejudiced against conservatives, but it also shows such malevolence and corruption among the do gooder libs too. The evil wife. Kevin spacey is excellent.
One of the best shows in a long time if you ask me!
Unless you want to know how it ends.
I want to smack that artist guy.... OK he is a photographer with an English accent who finally gets the main figure’s (Kevin Spacey as Congressman and Democrat Whip) wife into bed. The guy who plays him is gay
Funny you should say that. I thought the opposite, especially with the wife as head of that environmentalist-wacko group. I thought Frank was supposed to be a Democrat.
Don’t remember that guy. I’ll have to re-watch it right before season 2 starts on 2/14. I was getting it sort of mixed up with story lines in The Americans and Homeland, when it was good. I like how Netflix dumps the whole season at once.
Just finished watching the House of Cards season last night. Kevin Spacey is quite the manipulator, and his wife (Jennie from Forrest Gump) is his near equal.
The guy who plays Frank Underwood is gay too. ;>)
Is there a link to it? YouTube, maybe?
It is a show that shows how evil liberals can be in real life.
I was quite surprised that they made Frank Underwood a democrat, especially when you consider that:
A) Francis Urquhart from the original UK series was a Conservative,
B) Kevin Spacey is a big lib
C) Reed Hastings is a big lib
Youtube has some tidbits as in teasers and trailers.
NOTE There is an older BBC series called House of Cards that the American version is based on
You can buy the set on DVD or your library might have it. Mine does.
13 episodes 55 minutes each
Reed Hastings is a big lib>>>>>>>>
News to me!! Just going by this series I figured he was conservative or libertarian. It does not show the DC Democrats in a good light
I loved the old UK version
I have less than ZERO interest in watching this version
lot of Republican wives are avowed leftists apparently
It’s well done, and it’s not a duplicate.
IIRC, Season 2 starts on Netflix in February.
Netflix is doing some very good ‘original’ series.
Firefly was not Syfy show. It was a prime time series on Fox before they killed it.
Thanks.
