Title: House of Cards
Post by: Bromptonboy on February 15, 2014, 07:30:47 AM
I know this is not a geek show, but as usual I am late to the game in discovering shows.  My wife and I watched the 1st 2 episodes of season one.  This is excellent!  I had no idea how good it is.  Anyone else watching?

I've heard great things obviously, it's definitely on the list. I have to watch season two of Lillehammer too, another Netflix original.

I just finished up all 3 seasons of the UK (the original) version - it was fantastic!  I highly recommend it.

I binged on this when season two came out.  Great show, great end to last season, can't wait to see how things shake out in the new season!

Have you checked out the UK original series?  It is really good.

I looked at it when I was in the middle of my binge and said I'd watch it later, maybe nows the time.

February 27th the new season comes out!  I heard it was mistakenly posted then taken down from Netflix.  Wish I had caught it...

Saw an ad for this today - ready for a binge watch (if they release all the episodes at once)..

Cool - all 11 episodes at once (just like previous years)

We watched the first episode of the 3rd season last night.  It is still very good.

[spoiler]I thought for certain that Stranger - Frank's assistant - had been killed at the end of Season 2.  Was shocked to see that is not so.  I recall his character in the UK series and wonder if he is headed for the same or similar fate..[/spoiler]

Bryan did you ever watch the UK version?
Title: Re: House of Cards
Post by: Bryancd on March 03, 2015, 05:43:04 AM
No

I heard that the UK version is leaving Netflix, if it hasn't already.  Along with Luther, too, which I had planned to watch as well.  Wonder if Sherlock is leaving Netflix as well?

It is worth checking out - very good.  More 'MacBeth-like' than the US version.

Stinks that Netflix may drop.

Up to episode 4 so far - this is really good this season!

Regarding the Russian President:  [spoiler]'Petroff' is a thinly veiled Putin -they even look similar.[/spoiler]

We finished up Season 3 last night.  Anyone else there yet?  Good season - but not as good as the earlier seasons. 
Title: Re: House of Cards
Post by: Bryancd on March 23, 2015, 08:31:30 AM
Yep, we are done. It was good, bit not as strong as Season 2.

I am thinking they should have wrapped it up with season 3 - just like the UK show.
