Stan 13,393 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 New season started yesterday on Netflix. Just about to start episode 3. Anyone else watch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandoEFC 5,505 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Yes, watched episodes 1-3 last night, solid start to the new season - interested to see if/how they manage to make it more shocking than the actual White House this year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger 1,734 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Watched the first episode and it's so bad I don't think I'll be able to watch it all, okay it was always a little zany but the corridors of power, chicanery always had the appeal of being realistic. The last series was teetering on the edge of stupidity but this stuff is just absurd, taking over congress? Awful and it seems to be trying to set up some kind of Underwood dictatorship, 5 series a step too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandoEFC 5,505 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm five episodes in, not sure how I feel about it so far but those that have finished the season and have posted their feelings on the HoC sub-reddit seem to be overwhelmingly negative. No spoilers at least so will stick it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been as big a fan of HoC as some, but will watch any political drama, particularly US politics. This so far has just been poor though. S1 of Designated Survivor much better. Nothing will ever come close to the West Wing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - obviously can be a bit over the top and unrealistic at times, but thought it was a very well done series, until the ending. Have you watched the West Wing?

Yeah, it's brilliant when you ever get a chance, very different to HoC and Designated Survivor, it's more realistic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 5,623 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I couldn't get passed the 1st episode of the new season. Honestly, it felt like they were trying to provoke Trump into doing some outrageous shit - or they were just trying to be as ridiculous as possible to make up for the fact the real White House is basically a madhouse now. Either way, couldn't get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 13,393 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 This is getting cancelled after the allegations against Kevin Spacey and his interaction with a 14 year old about 30 years ago were revealed in the last couple of days. Shame for the rest of the cast to be honest as it was a brilliant show, even though it felt like it had gone on a season too long (they could have made Claire president earlier).

DeadLinesman 4,426 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wouldn’t say it was because of Spacey. They’d been toying with ending it for a while and decided to go with it due to the allegations. Ironically just like how Spacey came out.....

Tommy 7,158 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Kevin Spacey, huh? I always liked him, and now he turns out to be a giant piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 2,575 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Watched the first two series and I've been very impressed. The first episode of the second series in particular had a 'wtf' moment I didn't see coming. I'm looking forward to see how the other series progress.
