Anyone else watching this?...My wife got me hooked on it. It's a Netflix only mini series that wraps up in 13 episodes and that's it...no stringing you along and writing more episodes if and only if the ratings are good(at least that's what I was told, money has a way of changing things). It's easy to get hooked on, but it helps that Kevin Spacey stars in it and he is one of my favorite actors.

Just finished the last episode...phenomenal show! And it took me 13 episodes to discover that Frank Underwood's wife was the Princess Bride!

I'm watching it right now. Haven't finished it yet. So far it's pretty bad ass.

LoL. It just occurred to me that discussing this show, it's plot, setting and what not is potentially "dangerous". :hihi2:

I'm up to episode 6 right now. Trying not to watch too much and save it for rainy days.

I have watched all 13, this is one well made show, it is first class all the way. Too bad the show is on netflix most of the public will not see it. Frank is a no good S.O.B. but hey you have to love the guy.

Just finished...looks like I was wrong about this being a mini-series. Season 2 is already in production. What threw me is Netflix released the entire season at once, allowing you to watch whenever you wanted....making people who didn't bother to read closely think this was a mini series. That's ok with me though, at the end of episode 12, I was wondering how in the world they were going to finish this story with only one hour episode left.

Just finished the first episode of Season 2 and it did not disappoint. At one point I actually said out loud "Holy S^%T!!" while watching alone.

This and Breaking Bad, (which I never watched until it started streaming on Netflix) is my end of the day guilty pleasure along with a nice glass of Shiraz and some thin sliced Bellavitano cheese.

Spacey has outdone himself for sure.

I did not see the metro coming. Literally. I binge watched as soon as Netflix released all 13.

Yeah the metro scene is what surprised me so much...nobody is safe on this cast!

The writers set the bar high from the start. You kinda know that it is going to be a rough ride about five minutes in. Poor dog...

Watched it last season, last night I saw S2 episode 1.

Metro scene: I actually half-expected it when I saw that "barricade" thing. My wife, on the other hand, almost left her seat and yelled -lol!

Great rear view on that one, BTW. :thumbup2:
