I never saw “House of Cards” before Corona & Netflix. Season 1 blew me away with the dialog. Politics as war and slime suits my world view. Loooooove the pacing
David Fincher Executive producer and director of the early episodes locked it in. His touch is immaculate - Social Network, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Fight Club, Benjamin Button. All the movies I hold dear. You can feel Fincher early on in the House of Cards.
I stalled out mid Season 2. Fincher must have lost interest. I know I did. Yup, dogshit. Wonder what happened with him.
I saw you post two “The Wire” clips recently. Reaffirms your “made” status in my book. Coincidently, I fired up the first few episode of Season 1 recently with every intention of going wire to wire with the whole Wire franchise.
Perhaps the greatest series I ever saw on television.
