Re: House of Cards [SPOILERS MARKED]
Hmmmm., I may watch the first episode later for free but I don't really want to pay for Netflix to see the rest. Netflix UK isn't that great, it has very little choice, but still- free first episode.

Spacey's performance is anchoring the show for me. The plot itself is mildly interesting so far, but it's Spacey who's selling the shit out of it. Can you be nominated for an Emmy for an internet-only show, I wonder?

Didn't they invent a category for Dr. Horrible? I'd love to see them change the acting category rules to fit House of Cards in.

That's kinda my point, if they want to give it to him, they will.

And hey, I just realized who that actress is who I recognize. Kristen Connolly from The Cabin in the Woods has a prominent role!

I love that Underwood's ringtone is slightly creepy and foreboding. Also, it blends into the score almost perfectly on certain occasions.

Half-way through it, goddamn this is good. This show handles and understands the media so so well. Everything that I dislike and feels artificial about The Newsroom this show gets 100% right. The specificity of the details in places is crazy, like how there's a brief reference to what is basically the AutoTune the News youtube channel, the way Twitter is used, the authenticity of the news channels and talkshow stuff.

Re: House of Cards [SPOILERS MARKED]
I will sit down and watch this when I have a chance. I did really enjoy the BBC series they've adapted it from.
The first episode starts with the main character lamenting the downfall of Margaret Thatcher - complete fiction when they shot it, but the episode ended up airing days after Thatcher was voted out.
It was shot on video 20 years ago and I don't know how accessible you'd all find it but it's on netflix if you did want to check it out.

Re: House of Cards [SPOILERS MARKED]
I'm only up to episode 5, REALLY enjoying it so far. They've hooked me. I'm sure I'll have more to say once I finish the season, but so far the biggest shock for me was seeing, "Directed by Joel Schumacher" in the opening credits for episode five. That guy's still working? And on things that DON'T suck? I'm astounded.

Re: House of Cards [SPOILERS MARKED]
Ya, I'm really surprised how good it looks. Most of it (especially interior scenes) looks very consistent visually with Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Social Network. And I just love the attention to detail in everyone's home, these congress-people have the coolest looking houses and apartments.

Re: House of Cards [SPOILERS MARKED]
Finished if off, outstanding series, and the last 4 eps in particular are really damned strong.
Also just realized that the lead reporter chick is played by Rooney Mara's sister. Kinda weird that Fincher is casting his female leads for his last 3 projects from the same family, but she's good so whatever. It was throwing me off during the first couple of episodes though, because I kept thinking I recognized her but couldn't place it, the reason being she looks 90% like her sister did in Social Network.
