    House of Cards on netflix

    Anyone else watching this? I just finished the 1st episode and it seems like it's going to be a pretty good series. I think they picked the right guy (Kevin Spacey) for the lead role because he fits it pretty damn well and is able to pull off a decent elitist southern accent.

    I'm kinda hoping this works out well for Netflix as it would be nice to have some competition to HBO & Showtime for decent mini series.

          Watched the first episode and loved it. Netflix has a lot of money involved in this show and they got some great people to be involved with it.

          I love Spacey when he is being evil and he is perfect here. I can't wait to watch the rest.

                      Yea they dumped the whole 1st season at once. I just finished the 2nd episode the acting is very good and the story-line seems to be developing rather well. Seems like a very well done production, so it's not like some cheap cable TV mini series, I'd say it's more along the lines of an HBO or Showtime style production.

                                  Just finished whole thing, was ok, not nearly as good as the trailer. Can't believe I watched 13 hours of it in 2 days lol, good thing I have no life anymore or anything to do.

                                  Surprised they put up all the episodes at once though, that's is really odd. Just wished more interesting stuff happened, it always seemed like it was coming, and by the way the trailer made it look, I was expecting more, which is why I kept just watching and watching. Really, not much happens. It was ok though, worth watching.

                                      Holy balls, I can't believe I haven't even heard of this. Can't wait to check it out! I've been looking for a good new series to watch on Netflix and this sounds perfect.

                                          the Zoe Barnes character looks just like Caprice.

                                          And yeah its a pretty good show. I like that netflix released all the episodes at once instead of stretching it out.

                                              This isn't the first series that Netflix put out like this.

                                              Lillehammer was great.

                                                          You should all watch the original before jumping into the Spacey version.

I think they picked the right guy (Kevin Spacey) for the lead role because he fits it pretty damn well and is able to pull off a decent elitist southern accent.

                                                                          I'm kinda hoping this works out well for Netflix as it would be nice to have some competition to HBO & Showtime for decent mini series.

                                                                                              Loved the original. I am three episodes into this version and it stands up so far. Knowing the original, I can see where that plot has been blended in and it is being done in a natural feeling way.

                                                                                              I have a feeling the delivery method of this show could be a game changer. In particular, the deliver of all the episodes at once. Traditional tv stations might want to worry. It could be to Netflix with Mad Men was to AMC or what the Sopranos was to HBO.

I liked the first season of the British version of House of Cards, but the second one was too tedious to watch in its entirety. I think I'd be bored watching a remake, where I already know what is going to happen. But Lilyhammer was great. I want a new season of Lilyhammer.

I am only on the 3rd episode, but she really does come off as someone who was a little fish in the big pond who suddenly was in the right place at the right time and now has some serious ambition because of it.

                                                                                                                          In LA they promoed the show hard too. Giant ads on the side of buildings. I heard of it in the first place because of a huge Kevin Spacey looking down on the Hollywood Farmer's Market.

I liked the first season of the British version of House of Cards, but the second one was too tedious to watch in its entirety. I think I'd be bored watching a remake, where I already know what is going to happen. But Lilyhammer was great. I want a new season of Lilyhammer.

I'm gonna have to give it another shot...

I'm gonna have to give it another shot...

Though, with the way they are delivering it, it will make avoiding spoiling hard when people are all on different episodes.

                                                                                                                                                                  The British version of House of Cards was pretty much a trilogy of mini series. So, three 'seasons' of four episodes each. They did a really good job of fleshing the first US season out without making it feel weak. It also introduced the phrase "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment." into the British language.

                                                                                                                                                                  The parallels they drew from aspects of modern American culture to the recently post-Thatcher UK were also really well done. In particular the Philadelphia ship yard in place of the coal mines.

                                                                                                                                                                  I hope they go the British way of short, sweet and quality rather than drag it on season after season but so far, so good.

                                                                                                                                                                  The British version is on Netflix instant too, btw.

It says filming will begin this spring. But the show was originally signed for 2 seasons. So they will be a 2nd season for sure. Looks like if they start shooting in spring. maybe around the same time next year. maybe late fall into winter.

I'm not sure if anybody else remembers way back at the start of cable when they had to have their own awards show. I think it was called the ACE Awards. Then eventually the Emmys had to welcome them into the nomination fold. Wonder if this will be the start of what pushes internet broadcasting into the mix.
