OMG OMG!

I am watching Season 1 a second time at the public library. They are showing one episode each week and they have a speaker on each topic. I was SO EXCITED to have the head of our city's film festival say this: the best film entertainment today is in tv!

At this talk after the showing he talked about color values, what that means (dark low light/few colors relates a sort of noir feel) and the effect of various directors on each episode.

This verifies exactly wheat I've been saying for the past 12 months: cable episodic drama is the cream de la cream, we've not seen anything like it before.

[rodeosweetheart]

Exactly, IL, to the color values and the production values and the cutting edge nature of the show!
And Kevin Spacey is AWESOME!

I just discovered this show and I'm watching the first season and love it!!

Can't wait. Think we'll watch Season 1 again first though.

[The Storyteller]

They released the entire season at once, I think. I won't be getting much sleep tonight.

Ian Richardson is totally awesome. I had a huge crush on him after I saw him in London's West End in 1972 and then in the unbelievable RSC production of Richard II in 1973 (that's what a nerd I am!).. Got to meet him in person, and he was as kind and lovely as his Urquhart is diabolical.

House of Cards only came to the US because of the success that Ian Richardson made of it in the UK.

I loved Season 1.

Have you seen the original.

I tried it and don't think I finished it, it was unmemorable. I watch most any drama by UK tv but for the mysteries and some of the war serials.
