    I am looking forward to it. I don't have time to watch the whole series in one weekend, but I am already hooked on this show.

    The original House of Cards was very sinister and creepy, it made me look askance at all politicians and their methods and motives. Apparently yours follows the British version quite well and the producers have retained the writer/adaptor on board. Pity it's restricted to Netflix.

    One change, which I puzzled over briefly, was changing the principal politician's name from "Urquhart" to "Underwood" but it was said that most Americans wouldn't be able to pronounce "Urquhart". (Sounds like "errcut" in my parlance).

    I recently started a Netflix subscription, and watched the first episode of Season 1.

    It's so damn good that I want the YL to watch it, so we can watch it together.

    If she gets into it. Personally, I'm OK with Grimm and such but this is much better.

    OMG!! Saw episode 1 of the new season. That was intense, and a total surprise. How can it get more intense?
