House of Cards!!!
Ready for season 2 to roll around tonight at 2. Definitely worth the watch if you haven't seen season 1

I will have to give this one a try. A buddy has been trying to convince me to watch this show.

I watched maybe three episodes of this and stopped. Just wasn't interesting enough to me. Kevin Spacey with a fake Southern accent? Not convincing. Others have said "it gets better", but there are too many other shows I want to give a try.

RE: House of Cards!!!
I got caught up to halfway through 1st season the other night. My wife had surgery early that morning and she was loopy all night so I'm not sure how much of it she will remember.

At this point it is still a little slow for me, but I like Kevin Spacey. And Robin Wright is not bad to look at.

His southern accent makes me think of someone real, but I can't think of who it is right now.

Is it as good as Orange is the New Black? I'm excited about that one returning for Season 2 in June.

Who doesn't want to see the VP kiss his Secret Service agent before they tag team the wife. Throw in some lesbian love too to spice up the otherwise now predictable storyline.

I see you made it through the first season like I did this weekend? It's not as good as season 1, seemed too drag along a little more. One thing I liked about season 1 is that it would progress months in between episodes. This season progressed more along the pace of a season of "24."

It was still entertaining, but episode of 11 with the three way and then lesbian scene not shortly after may have turned my wife and I away for good.

REDACTED - the otherwise now predictable storyline.

I hope you seriously consider how much of a spoiler you just gave away. I have been watching this show over the last few weeks, I am well into Season 2, and you've completely ruined the show by throwing out a major plot point in a single sentence with absolutely no warning.

By the way - this is yet another problem with the "release all the episodes!" model that Netflix is employing. If you don't binge-watch you are at the complete mercy of those who do.

Im just not sure why every damn show has to have a gay storyline. Must be a rite of passage or something.
