House of Cards is a Netflix series, depicting the United States government in different situations. We see different politicians fighting their way to the top (presidency), doing whatever it takes to get exactly what they want. This series is led by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.
I started watching this out of boredom one night. Let me say that I'm not a political junkie by any means. But I've always liked Kevin Spacey as an actor and I've heard a lot about this series. I've been binge-watching the first season (and so far, ONLY the first season, so please don't spoil anything for me if you've been watching). I don't like a lot of what's being depicted, but I can't seem to stop watching. It's worse than a soap opera! lol
Kevin Spacey's character is despicable, to say the least. Because he's drawn such a huge distaste from me proves that he's a good actor. Robin Wright has brought out similar feelings from me. Proves that the way these two operate is not anything to which I would aspire. But I do know that there are people just like them in the world and that's why we have the problems of war and hate.
It's an interesting look at politics and what might go on in Washington. I'd like to think that things there aren't as bad as this series would lead us to believe, but who knows. Do we ever really know what goes on behind closed doors?

I started watching the series a year ago. I didn't watch a lot of it, but yes, I like the series. I'll get back to it. I haven't finished the first season yet. I do know it's gotten a lot of awards. What I like about it is the realistic look at Washington politics.

I have seen it and think it is excellent. However, I would not have bothered watching if my son had not.
However, I think it is very well acted and gripping entertainment.
No, we do not ever know what really goes on.

We love that show and realize it's pure fiction. Great acting by fine actors. I'm sure there is evil all over the place, not just in the White House. My daughter-in-law worked in the Clinton White House. She was there during the Monica Lewinsky fiasco.
