i liked the first season of house of cards. i did not like the second season of house of cards.

the hacker subplot was loving ridiculous and they've written themselves into a corner because they wanted a showy season finale.

House of Cards ends with his wife organizing his assassination so he can be remembered as a good president rather than having to be impeached in shame when his schemes finally catch up with him.

I thought that the first season or two of weeds actually had some pretty good jokes before jenji tried to turn it into some sort of gangster thriller melodrama, but I don't have a PhD in humour so don't quote me on that.

eh yeah it wasn't too bad at the start but then as the show progressed from season 2 on every single character started competing to see who could be the dumbest, biggest rear end in a top hat. I didnt watch beyond a few episodes of orange but I expect it to go the same way

It is a good show. Not great, but good. It is the club sandwich of shows.

realtalk right here. and kevin spacey's character isn't likeable in any way whatsoever, he's just a machiavellian rear end in a top hat with ill-defined motivations. even walter white was more relatable. i mean i did stop watching after six episodes, but i think i gave it a reasonable chance

also the politics are so unrealistic. and not even in a lol cartoony over-the-top way. you can tell the people who write the show really think politics is that simple and stupid. like the creator of the show was even on colbert once and he blamed the most recent government shutdown on the fact that the democrats didn't compromise

It also lacks real tension since Spacey's character has a cheat code that always makes dumb liberal or union characters grovel when they try to oppose him.

A militant feminist ultra-bitchy lesbian I go to school with loves it, so that's all I really needed to know about the show.

At weekly happy hour during TV chat time some girls were surprised them that I was watching the show but lost all points with them by saying that the pornstache was my favorite character.

This isn't a bad technique actually, the people who suggested I watch Orange also insisted I would love Weeds, The L Word, Dexter, The Walking Dead & The Big Bang Theory. I very much did not enjoy those shows, therefore it's not crazy to think their love for this show is a sign I should avoid it. I mean at what point do you take the hint & stop subjecting yourself to things you hate just to humor your friends with terrible taste?

I just started watching Season 1. I'm on episode 5 and I think it's a good show. But then again I think GBS has terrible tastes.

Nah, the lead is pretty bad and that would stick out more if she wasn't acting next to even worse actors that are the other characters, the production values are only good compared to Indie Films and Canadian TV Moives, the directing is passable, and it has very basic cinematography.

If you're impressed by this show then you must be blown away by the intricacies of porno plots and the character relationships built in them. Only porn isn't rapey :can:

I watched the first season and it was OK the first half and then it started getting boring and it kept telling me I should care about her husband but that actor is awful and the Russian ladies accent keeps changing to British and then the blonde ices the interesting character I think I dunno I can't remember other than I won't watch it anymore or anything else on Netflix that they make instead I'll sit here and shoot my own dick off

I don't hate it while I'm watching it but then I don't think about it or even remember it much at all when it is over. I kind of felt the same way about Weeds. It's like bland oatmeal.
