This show was one of the few political shows to grab my attention. Hearlded by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright its just a tour de force that literally hooks you in.
The show is about Frank Underwood and his ascension up the political echelon to the most loftiest and powerful place in the world. The Presidency. He is the house whip, which if your like me and had to google, is the person who gets the houses to agree by whiping the votes through deals and agreements.
I dare anyone to watch this show and stop at just one episode. Its just so good and the second season is even better than the first.
Now Frank Underwood was a good house whip but he had loftier ambitions and when the current president fucked him over he decided to make his own way up. Helped by his equally conniving and beautiful wife Claire he uses bribery, blackmail, and sheer ruthlessness to get what he believes is best.
I love Kevin Spacey. Look up the Jimmy Fallon " Talk Dirty to me" and you will love him to. On this show I just cant see anyone being any better than him. I mean Frank is almsot sociopathic in his quest for presidency. And I love him for that. I love the way he breaks the wall and talks to the camera. I love that the show always surprises me. I just love this show.
There was one character in the first season that I didnt like, mainly because I dont like the actress, hated her in AHS:Murderhouse too, but happily she is not in season 2 for very long. Also for a show that isnt on HBO or USA or NBC its a great show. Its spectacularly written and brilliantly executed. Netflix has a big hit. I was very upset that they did not win any Emmys. But there is always next year.
My verdict is: Take a weekend and BINGE WATCH BOTH SEASONS!!!
