Season 2 of Cards starts out with a real banger but then quickly devolves into who gives a gently caress

also, how the hell will they top what's happening now, at this point?

i don't envy those writers the massive undertaking of writing a suspenseful political thriller in the age of trump

It's fine, it just has a tendency to live in fantasy liberal land a bit too much. The challenges it presents in the show are always swatted away far too easily and it presents too many politicians as being noble and intelligent defenders of the state, as opposed to the reality in which they're spineless slime monsters in it for themselves.

You're choice is between the happy world of The West Wing or the nihilistic everything-is-poo poo world of House of Cards.

Or Veep I suppose.

i'm a house of cards man myself; veep is too quaint, and the west wing is a joke at this point in light of current affairs

If there's anyone we can forgive for enjoying a show about a power-hungry, bisexual, amoral, southern U.S politician I think it's Senator Lindsey Graham.

the "great scene" of the series, where bartlet curses out god in latin at the national cathedral and rattles off his accomplishments, is hilarious

he lists a scotus appointment among them, as if the almighty creator gives a poo poo about who's on the federal bench

gently caress that show, it sucked from day one and the sopranos should retroactively be given all the emmys the west wing won

i can't disagree; the west wing is, and always has been, a raging dumpster fire
