House of Cards on Netflix

Anyone else watching it?

Anyone else think it is awesome?

I am interested in it, but didn't see that it was available yet.

What's the premise?

I'm assuming you think it is awesome?

May watch it today on my day off.

Oh yeah, well acted, well written.

It is about an 11th term Congressmen from Upstate SC that gets passed over for the Secretary of State position and the fallout from it.

I've watched the first 4 episodes so far, needless to say I'm in the awesome camp. My wife finds it too dark and prefers the more upbeat message of West Wing which is what this want's to replace.

Well acted and dark?... Might have to check it out after all. The ads were getting getting annoying for a while, just playing by themselves

Based on the thread title, I assumed that Netflix's unsound business model had poised them on the brink of a sudden and disastrous collapse.

I think Netflix is going for the Internet distribution version of HBO now.

Yeah, the CEO's quote was something like "We want to become HBO, before HBO becomes us."

Haven't started watching it yet, but it's on the list. Huge Kevin Spacey fan.

I saw the ads a while back... I'll have to check it out...

I know hulu has also been advertising a number of "only on hulu" type shows

I've watched the first two episodes. It's not bad.

I'm not one for political drama, but this one is good enough that I'll continue watching. Luckily, I'm a journalist at heart (though not nearly as ruthless), so that side of things has me intrigued.

That's fine, so long as they wait until I finish Eureka.

I am 6 episodes in. I freaking love it! I hope this won't be a one and done thing like Lillehammer.

Susshh, I am only through episode 3. Loved the peach episode.
