I've heard great things about this show. Rachel Maddow just plugged it today at the end of her show. She appears in an upcoming episode, on the TV, being herself. She said that she can retire now: she's been on The Simpsons and now, House of Cards.

I have amazon Prime. I think I can stream it.

LOL. Why waste good whiskey? I usually just pee in the radiator in emergencies. Try some on the rocks... Mother's milk for us Irishmen.

Oh so you are Irish then? That explains it :grinning: :peace:

My husband likes to have a wee dram of Scotch as well (I think that is mother's milk for Scotsmen).

Okay, you guys are missing one of THE best series on TV. It's a Netflix original so get Netflix just so you can see it! I just watched the first episode of Season 2 and it is OFF THE HOOK! I think I can say this is one of my favorite series on TV ever.

@Tery, @hossenpepper, @Shasta, @DiO'Bolic, @Lepplady, @Moderator and every other person who loves to get into that political stuff -- you will LOVE this show. But start at the beginning, Season I. As I stated earlier, the first 2 minutes of the first episode will feed into every single conspiracy theory you've ever had about someone serving as a leader in our nation's capitol because if Kevin Spacey a.k.a. Frank Underwood can do that, he will do anything. And he does.
It's so funny you say that. I've tried multiple times to love this show and I just can't get into it!!!!

Dammit. Of everything, everything they've done -- I've gone along with it. But Season 2, chapter 11 -- they jumped a shark. And yes, it has to do with sex. They jumped a big horny shark. Disappointed.

LOL, this was actually my next show to watch. I just finished up the first season of The Blacklist and was perusing for my next one.

The Blacklist is back next Mon! Spader is wowza in that one (though the one playing his daughter--yeah, I know he said she wasn't, but PFFFT!--is pretty meh). HoC is a great show!

Yeah, as the season unfolded the plot lines move too fast sometimes. The whole hubby thing seems like an after thought. But Spader is amazing in it...

I plan on giving it a try and starting the series this weekend. Did anyone else see the recent report that Robin Wright (who plays Claire Underwood on the show), said that when she was researching her role, a "senior person" in the Obama administration told her that reporters sleep with their sources, among other things?
