Living in the UK and having Netflix, I have only just started watching the very first series, and first episode of House Of Cards.
I found that very interesting, but can you please advise me if is it worth keeping with or not?
Particularly as I understand it, series 4 is now also available.
Thank you.

It depends. It's one of those series I have had a love/hate relationship with. It can be a hot mess at times....but then something unexpected happens and you can't wait to find out what happens:surprise: There were episodes throughout the series that left me disinterested but then, since I too have Netflix, I decided to continue on....just finished season 4 - which was supposed to be last one but did get renewed. One of the better seasons, I thought. Let's see what others have to say.

And thank you very much for that very informative reply CK.
Building on that, yes I would love to hear what others have to say.
 

I was hooked...for a few episodes.

The opening scene with the dog:

"There are two types of pain.the sort of pain that makes you strong and useless pain,the sort of pain that's only suffering.I have no patience for useless things"

Love it,lol


I got into horror shows and didn't continue watcing,let me know how it is if you do continue with it. :)

Thank you Vicky.
Yes, that first scene in respect of the dog was not very nice, but even after one episode I am sorta hooked.
But I will give my opinion if I really do continue watching and get into it.:cool:

PS.
What horror shows are you watching then?
Anything you can recommend off Netflix?

Hi Vicky.
Just off to bed here in the UK but just finished the very first episode of House Of Cards.
Is Bates Motel any good then?
Penny Dreadful?
Never heard of that.
Good night.

Kenny
 
Goodnight Kenny!

You have to admit Kevin Spacy is awesome!
Very witty and I love when he narrates!

He is like the pan master.

Penny dreadful is with monsters and witches and werewolves! Lol

Bates motel,yes,I like it.
Its all about Norman Bates before Phycho. :)

Yes, I must admit Vicky, that Kevin Spacey really is awesome.
One thing I like about House Of Cards is the quality of the very convincing acting, particularly by Kevin.
I hate his rugged good looks though! :playful: :eek:nthego:

Will check out Bates Motel, though I don't like anything too gory!:cool:

All this TV though, and I have to find time to live and go outside and smell some roses as well! :sentimental:

I know.
The thing is we have NOW TV. Prime TV, Netflix and all sorts of other stuff.
I have to make time to go out and smell some coffee, and the roses! ;) :cool:
BUT, House Of Cards does look like it is good enough to try and make time for! :eek:nthego:

Its all good!

I was shoveling snow up until a couple days ago so I'm good staying inside for now! :)
 
Very kind of you,thanks :)

Mind you,I don't rest very easy,lol once the perennials start sprouting,I'm out there weeding and feeding and mowing the lawn.
 
I just finished watching all of Season 4, and though I wasn't sure after the first couple of episodes, that it would hold my attention, I'm glad I stayed with it. Just my opinion .. it's worth watching. Not too many series with this level of acting and believe-ability.

I'm on 10th episode ,season 1.

I agree with you,I don't watch political shows but this is good!
 
I may watch it when the series ends as I don't plan to turn my Netflix acct back on any time soon. It is one of the series on there I've wanted to watch but never got around to it.
 
vickyNightOwl, the only other show about politics that I watch, is the very improbable 'Scandal' series. House of Cards is far more believable.

AprilT, I freestream everything, but I know it's not possible for everyone to do this.

LOL, I watch scandal too, yeah that doesn't count, that's more of a guilty pleasure. :D

I'm kind of looking forward to watching HOC marathon style, so, I can wait. I think I'd rather from here on out see most of the better series that way at this point.
