Thread: House of Cards on Netflix

So, I kept seeing the ad for House of Cards for weeks and weeks on Netflix. Finally one day I decided to watch the 1st episode because I like Kevin Spacey. Needless to say 1 episode turned into 12 straight over the weekend. Now i'm hooked on this show and dont want it to end.


Viewer addiction to new Kevin Spacey drama series

Anyhow, who's seen it? Do you like it??

I love it too. I think I'm seven episodes in. It only came out Friday.

Wondering how long we'll have to wait for a second season, though. It's an interesting concept, releasing the whole season, almost like straight to DVD. But it's the best Political tv-style drama I've seen.

thanks guys, I will watch

I love that they released all the episodes at once. It's like a 13 hour long movie.

This series is one of a kind. It's a little dark but not over the top nor do they try too hard. All of the acting is great and I love how the directors have Kevin Spacey break away and talk to the viewers. It's like how The Office does but it's still differant in it's own way.

You will get hooked....almost done with the series now.

Somebody sell me on this....im curious but any comparison to the office (which sucks ass, and yeah go **** yourselves im telling u that show blows/blew) scares me.

I need to give it another try. I watched the first two or three episodes when it first aired (last year or the year before), but then for some reason stopped watching it.

Recently, I started watching Burn Notice on Netflix and over the holidays we watched 2 1/2 seasons. When Burn first aired, we watch a 2 or 3 episodes and couldn't get into it. Weird how that works -- or, maybe the wife and I are just weird.

You must have watched the British version, because this was released Feb. 1. It's a Netflix original. They changed Francis Underwood to a Congressman from South Carolina, he's played by Kevin Spacey. Kate Mara plays a low-level journalist. Peter Russo is a Congressman from urban Philadelphia (not sure the actor).

I think you would have to be weird to watch Burn Notice...

This isn't even remotely like the office (the only comparison is that this was a BBC series before Netflix remade it around Washington). It's a politcal drama/thriller.

Alright. . .I've been waiting for another series to get hooked on. I'll check it out. .. although MO being a proponent has me scared.

Just watch it. It's freakin' Kevin Spacey playing an antagonist again...

You deffintely watched the British version as this just barely came out less than a week ago. It's amazing how the Americans can take an idea from other Countries and make it a hit show.

I would say just watch the pilot but I'm warning you now, it's going to be hard to stop watching. Most of the shows on cable are junk but imo, Netflix did an incredible job. Counting the days until the next season.

It's not like the Office, the whole concept is differant. I was ony referring to him talking to the audience.

Mo's right, it's more drama/thriller than anything. Alot of people get screwed over on his way to the top.

This is more what I was referring to...

some people cant comprehend comedy unless it's juvenile and slaps you across the face like the crap they call funny on SNL... so yeah I guess not everyone would enjoy The Office
