BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Finally got a chance to get started on House of Cards.What a fantastic show. I'm only three episodes in. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are fantastic. David Fincher's work on the first two episodes is wonderful as well.If other Netflix productions can be this quality, I look forward to them.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yup. House of Cards is a Netflix exclusive production.Which is great. There are no arbitrary television time limits. The stories are as long or short as they need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm juggling Doctor Who (last finished series 1, episode 7: "The Long Game"), Arrested Development (last finished season 2, episode 8: "Queen for a Day"), and A Bit of Fry and Laurie (last finished series 1, episode 2). I've also been glad to discover, through YouTube clips, Would I Lie to You? and QI. I think I like British TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,042 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Right now, I'm going through both Battlestar Galactica series, The X-Files, Weeds, and Doctor Who, among others.

Stayed up till 1.30am last night watching it, which in hindsight was a bad idea. I got myself the pilot of Revolution, another apocalyptic serial which I'm told is pretty entertaining so far, directed John Favreau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Anyway, I'm flying through Breaking Bad here. Can't stop watching the thing! BUT, in last night's episode an absolute stunning babe was introduced - Jesse's landlady - and for the first time ever in the show I felt disappointed, felt that this was perhaps just another conventional entertainment after all.It remains to be seen if the gorgeous girl becomes a love interest and main character (for a while), but I really hope not. Because it would be fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,353 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Krysten Ritter (Jesse's landlady) is indeed a good looking gal. You should check out the show she stars in now, "Don't Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23". Pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 That pic doesn't do her justice. In Breaking Bad last night she looked a lot more sexy. She's one of those types that benefits from video rather than static photos.Googling her just now, I stumbled on a couple of spoilers regarding her participation in future episodes. Turns out I was right. How disappointingly predictable, I hope that's this show's one and only concession to mainstream expectation and soap conventions. Bah, Breaking Bad just lost a few points in my book. Two seasons in and we haven't even got a hot chick! We need a hot chick dude, write one in!Pfft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Ah, I hadn't even noticed the lack of "the hot chick" in season one.It does indeed seem sometimes that there have to be very hot people in films and tv shows. In many occassions, casts just become unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Krysten Ritter is hardly a stereotypical Hollywood "hot chick" anyway, and the way she changes Jesse's character is extremely important for his development in future seasons - not to mention the enormous way her presence changes Walt's character.Don't knock things until you've seen them play out.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm sure I'll like her Jason (everyone in this show is vital), but I just wish it could've been a little less obvious.

Those 8 episodes officially catapult the show into the best ever list in my book. Can't believe I thought season 4 felt like a conclusion. Now it all feels more like a prelude to the actual conclusion, where the show shifts is focus back to its core - the main character. Which is where it always should have been. I have to say when I look back at the beginning of the show and watching the relationship between Walt and Skyler develop over the course of the five seasons... it makes for a very compelling and even heartbreaking story.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
