Spacey is great. I thought all the episodes were there or I would have paced myself a little better!

I only watched the first episode and the scene where he came home and poured a drink and lit a cigarette and the morning scene where his wife comes up to him was beyond amazing, the photography and the soundtrack, out of this world. Can't wait to see more episodes..

Just finished the first season. I think it might be the best thing Kevin Spacey has ever done. Hard to think of a better actor for they character.

also just finished first season, watched a whole bunch at first then too a break for last 4 or 5 because they were all pretty intense on their own.....
Not giving it rave reviews but definitely enjoyed it. Someone asked me if I watched it thru just to say I did complete it or if it was good. I enjoyed it/very dramatic and if anything, just for the movie production value alone......writing was weak at points tho. Endless West Wing comparisons.
But amazing piece of work by Netflix.I wonder tho, has it driven a boost in subscribers for them. As would be the plan ... 'to become HBO faster than HBO can become them'...

“House of Cards.” (by Netflix) is already the most streamed piece of content in the United States and 40 other countries...The spooky part about that? Executives at the company knew it would be a hit before anyone shouted “action.”
Netflix, which has 27 million subscribers in the nation and 33 million worldwide, ran the numbers. It already knew that a healthy share had streamed the work of Mr. Fincher, the director of “The Social Network,” from beginning to end. And films featuring Mr. Spacey had always done well, as had the British version of “House of Cards.” With those three circles of interest, Netflix was able to find a Venn diagram intersection that suggested that buying the series would be a very good bet on original programming.

"While careers and entire networks have been made and lost based on the mysterious alchemy of finding a hit, Netflix seems to be making it look easy, or at least making it a product of logic and algorithms as opposed to tradition and instinct."

^ do it two more times and you can call it a trend. House of Cards is good though, but it seemed to end abruptly (?)

Just finished season 2 planting it firmly within the top 5 of my all-time favorite shows.

season 2 took a decent, slightly unbelievable melodrama and turned it into the biggest heaping pile of dogshit.
the "suprise" at episode one is just ridiculous. not to mention nobody in washington is apparently smart except kevin spacey? it's fodder for pseudointellectual review sites.ugh.

^ i don't know. for me it offers a unique entertainment value; and one, that with any show, you can't appreciate with such stringent expectations.
guess mine were at the perfect pitch for it to be such an indulgence.

It's a little slow... but it's 'good'

It was entertaining, but so unrealistic. I just can't get behind a show that assumes everyone is an easily manipulated idiot.
Production quality is good, acting is very good, but believing that people are capable of taking over the world with a few gambles is crazy.
I'd give season two a B.

Watched an episode and a half - when you watch enough documentaries you get bored with half-baked dramatization of actual events out there. That said though my brother who doesn't watch any docs loves the series and thinks it's eye opening. I guess it's all relive depending on how much you know about the realities of the world.

I find it funny how the presidential couple are cast to look like white Obamas, down to his voice and her hairdo.
