Netflix original series starring Kevin Spacey. Full season (12 episodes) are now out streaming. Starting on this today and will report back.

Sounds interesting.

I used to be a big Spacey fan, but his career has really taken a fall the last five years. Hopefully this is watchable.

First episode was pretty good. Kevin Spacey is excellent. Enjoy the way it's shot, Spacey is obviously the lead but also narrates on occasion. Will definitely continue watching

3 episodes in and so far so good, for the most part.

Love Spacey's character...tugging on so many strings to get his way...it's fun to watch.

Also like the reporter girl...things are going really good for her right now, so I'm looking forward to seeing if/when they take a turn for the worse.

The only part I'm not digging is the wife's storyline. I'm not sure if they are simply going for a change of pace from all the hardcore political stuff with it but I could do with less of it. At least cut out the running.

I tried watching the first episode of this last night and just couldn't get into it. I'll probably give it one more try this week.

While I don't believe things in Washington are quite this bad when it comes to sex and drugs and the like, this show is downright fascinating to me. Halfway through and I can't wait to find out how some of these storylines end.

Also, it would appear I was wrong about the wive's storyline, as it seems to be converging with some of the others now and it makes sense.

I'm kinda with you Bryan except I made it halfway through the second episode and it just seems sorta weird and boring. Guess its just not my kind of show maybe. I was hoping to like it.

Just finished the last episode.

Episodes 10 and 11 were outstanding. 12 was kind of meh, but 13 closed it out pretty good.

Certainly going to rewatch to pick up on the hints that were dropped about later events, because I'm already recalling one moment that foreshadowed what Underwood's plan was all along.

Watched the 1st two episodes. It's OK. Spacey's "southern" accent is odd.

I'm through episode 7. Definitely picked up after the 1st few episodes. Really like the Doug Stamper character. Good watch.

I'm about 4 episodes in. I really dig the hell out of this series so far. Spacey is a beast as usual.

The giant peach episode was very well done...

Season 2 went live today...and holy hell was that first episode not fucking around!

I could easily see myself binging on this the rest of the evening/tomorrow morning if this keeps up.

I loved the move Frank played in episode 3...made it look like one political trick and turned it into a completely different one...not sure it would actually work in real life but it was pretty awesome for a TV show. :lol:

Holy shit

Not reading the thread cuz I'm only thru one episode but that was crazy.

I actually accidentally saw a spoiler that that was gonna happen by was still shocked


And yes, its getting a little hacky . The Chinese delegation walking out of the meeting was a study in overacting



Still great though

I watched this a while ago when the first season came out on netflix, it was intense and had me wanting to watch the next episode every time, i just found out the 2nd season is now up and I can wait, the things spacey will do to get to the top and the way that they show how politics is, it's great, can't wait to watch the 2nd season

Second season is awesome, Fflb. I'm really trying to limit my episodes in one sitting but it's tough.

I'm going through it a second time, usually an episode or two every night with the girlfriend...can't wait to see how she reacts to everything that went down.

How about Doug Stamper? That guy has got some issues.

Edit: Compared to a guy who's a serial texter, I guess he's got it together.
