Just a friendly reminder that one of the best shows on TV or off TV starts again tomorrow. The entire season will be released and it's time to binge watch the Underwoods fuck DC right in its keyster, get in some threesomes, murder fools, bribe, extort, threaten and manipulate their way to the top.
And is the First Lady sexy as hell or what? She's gotta be pushing 50 right?
She's come a long way from sweet Jenny.
INteresting trivia: the reason this show came about was because Netflix saw in its data-mining that there was an overlap between people who liked the original BBC series and people who like Kevin Spacey and David Fincher, so Netflix approached them about doing a remake.

Disagree entirely about season 2, but to each his own. That said, your trivia is not really accurate:
MRC approached different networks about the series, including HBO, Showtime and AMC, but Netflix, hoping to launch its own original programming, outbid the other networks.[17] Ted Sarandos, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, looked at the data of Netflix users' streaming habits and concluded that there was an audience for Fincher and Spacey.[18] "It looked incredibly promising," he said, "kind of the perfect storm of material and talent."[4] In finding a writer to adapt the series, Fincher stated that they needed someone who could faithfully translate parliamentary politics to Washington."[4] Beau Willimon, who has served as an aide to Charles Schumer, Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton,[19] was hired and completed the pilot script in early 2011.[4] Willimon saw the opportunity to create an entirely new series from the original and deepen its overall story.[4]

Can't wait for S3, I'm traveling this weekend so I'm not sure how or when I'll get my binge watching in but I will get it done.

Season 2 did wander for me as well. I am interested in seeing if they can keep it together this season.
