You know, you must be getting used to this, by now.
At least, I’m assuming you are.
Getting used to me posting up something: at (comparatively) odd hours.
If it’s not a Teaser at comparatively silly o’clock in the morning, then it’s a TV or movie write-up at silly o’clock in the evening.
Like this one.
You see, although I don’t actually have a Netflix subscription, I have been following series 1 of their version of House of Cards.
And?
And?
Come away impressed, so far …

And, yes, since you’ve asked: I’ve sat down with another three episodes, tonight.
Episode 7 shows us the Education Bill the Frank has sponsored being signed into law by President Walker. This earns Frank some much needed kudos: and allows him to strong-arm the Vice President into supporting Congressman Peter Russo’s (Corey Stoll) run for Governor of Pennsylvania.
Episode 8 sees Frank opening a library that’s been named for him, at his old college: and spending the night on the proverbial town with some old college friends.
Episode 9 Showing us Frank and Peter’s attempts to pass an environmental bill that will be key to Peter’s campaign. Only to see it defeated in the House.

Now … ?
Good … ?
Yes: this first series is STILL maintaining its quality.
AND using it’s cast, EXTREMELY well.
I must say, the supporting cast — Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, and others — are all very good. But the headlines must go to both Kevin Spacey And Robin Wright as Frank andy Claire Underwood, with episode 9 being the highlight so far: Wright shows us Claire’s anger not in words, but purely facially*.
Couldn’t be anywhere near these two …
* No, seriously: watch this clip …
See what I mean … ? Don’t believe Claire’s words: watch her face. Frank Underwood’s a dead man walking …

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
