House of cards! Worth it??

[MozzchopsThirty]

Just watched first episode and don't really 'get' it
Do I have to understand us politics??

Anything else I could be watching on Netflix??
I liked breaking bad, better call Saul. American horror story, the returned, got bored of Dexter
Thanks

Oh yes OITNB too, loved that

Bump

Yes. Watch it.

Yes, persevere. It's very good.

Yes - I was a bit WTF after the first episode, on season 4 now and it's very compelling!

Yes worth it. Although I found season 3 pretty slow, 1 and 2 are superb.

Sooo worth it. Like Breaking Bad, it's a slow burner but once you're hooked, I can guarantee you'll be binge watching.

I also like the Scandi stuff, if it's still on Netflix - The Bridge, The Killing. We loved Making a Murderer too, though that's a long form documentary, not a drama.

I think it's pretty good. I suppose there may be some American political terms that would be foreign to you.

I'd say my tastes in telly are similar to the OP's and I like the same shows she does - including getting bored of Dexter.

HoC isn't as good as OITNB, BB or BCS, but it's pretty good.

Keep going.

It builds up.

First episode of the second series made me drop my wine into a box of matchmakers. I was furious with Kevin Spacey.

Yes, season 3 has a bit of a lull in it but season 4 is an absolute belter. I think knowing a bit about American politics helps with some of the storylines but overall you could follow the general story with no knowledge. There are gasp out loud moments all the way through.

Ok thanks I'll watch the first episode again as I wasn't paying attention

Maybe orphan black too?!
