House of Cards: Still Awesome

I hope there isn't anyone surprised that House of Cards is great in Season 3. A phenomenal cast, interesting and well-written story, and such interesting subject matter come together beautifully again. Robin Wright & Kevin Spacey carry the heaviest weight, but the various seasoned newcomers do a great job of helping out. The standard twists and turns continue to shock & awe. I love how the show continues to pull no punches and plow through incredible moments and subject matter. What's sacred? How far would one go to accomplish their goals, or their goals for the nation? What constitutes a friend that you would do anything for, or someone you just use until they aren't useful anymore? It's so fascinating because you feel like this could very well be true. It could ALL be exactly how politics functions. It's probably infinitely more exciting than the petty bullshit that fills the average dealings of our Washington folks. It does make politics interesting, so that has to be a win. I love how it focuses on just one party and doesn't deal with the back & forth and begging for votes to push things through like the past seasons. It's probably the best show currently airing. Mad Men has a chance to unseat that with it's final season, but I'm doubting it. Bottom Line: GET ON BOARD. If you haven't watched it yet STOP waiting and get Netflix or borrow someone's password & username.
