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 …

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
