    "House of Cards" series review




    House of Cards

    My local library just picked up series 1 of this riveting drama that shows us the kind of treachery that can happen in D.C politics. It's a world of greed, sex and corruption as the back of the box indicates and it's all true in this series.

    I'm just into the 3rd disc of this 3 disc first series and I'm finding it very entertaining, if not sometimes a little over my head on occasion. Kevin Spacey is perfectly cast in this show as are the others. I'm particularly fond of Kate Mara's role and performance as well.

    Love this show ! :T:T 8.5/10 stars

        Netflix financed it's production with HBO. It's actually the most expensive show ever produced, or it was in season 1. It's also still one of Netflix's most watched shows I believe and I agree with everything this is one of my all time favorite shows for sure.

        And no it's not cancelled, they wouldn't dare lol.

          Apparently, Kevin Spacey (no way to know if serious) has stated he expects it to run 12 seasons. Either his wife becomes president or they repeal the XXIInd amendment in the show. :lol:

            Well, it's certainly well written, well acted, and only Kevin Spacey could get away with talking to the camera and make it work !

              Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

                Hey all,

                I've spun and/ or are spinning a few more TV series on DVD and here are my thoughts on them!!

                Justified- This series is a bit too trailer trash/ Hillbilly/ Roadhouse for me. This thing could easily be an old time western kinda' show. I can see these people on...

                by madmac



                Kelsey Grammer stars in this series about a bad ass Mayor (King) of Chicago. Normally we are used to seeing him in a comedy setting but in this series, he is anything but! The catch is that in the first season, he is diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disease that will...

                Nurse Jackie

                I just spun the latest season of this series available on DVD currently and I must say this series is very entertaining. Nurse Jackie is a narcotic addicted nurse working in a hospital emergency room. NOT exactly a great combination and work environment for...
