House of Cards — Series 2: Episodes 1, 2 and 3

You know, I have to admit to being up, comparatively late.

The night before I go back to work.

But … ?

Well, I wanted to tell you about a bad habit of mine.

Oh, nothing MAJOR.

It’s I’ve got a bad habit of binge-watching TV box sets.

And thought I’d share … !

House of Cards — Series 1: Episodes 12 and 13

You know, I have a habit or two.

Possibly several, actually: now I come to think of it.

And a few of those … ?   Will be ones I’m not going to admit to on a public forum like a blog!

Not if I can help it … !

One of the ones I will admit to … ?

Is liking a TV series or two.

And … ?   Well, over the past few nights, I’ve been watching House of Cards.

While tonight’s too episodes haven’t got me as caught as the rest of the series?

It does round off this initial series, rather well.

House of Cards — Series 1: Episodes 10 and 11

You know, I have to confess, I do like a good TV show.

You’ve noticed that, haven’t you … ?

After all, I’ve been writing about various TV shows for some time, now.

Just recently … ?

You’d possibly have realised I’ve caught Penny Dreadful … 

And, over the past few nights, the US version of House of Cards.

At least, the first series.

Tonight, I caught episodes 10 and 11.

And … ?

I’m impressed.

House of Cards — Series 1: Episodes 7, 8 and 9.

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?

Come away impressed, so far …

House of Cards — Series 1: Episodes 4, 5 and 6.

You know, I have to make a confession, here.

I am on something of a budget.

You’d worked that out, hadn’t you?

You’d ALSO worked out that — if I get the chance — I’ll spend money on entertainment.   Much like the rest of us.

I tend to spend a certain amount on iTunes gift cards.

That lets me buy albums, and rent movies, relatively controllably.

I can only spent what’s in my account: and top that account up, as and when I have the funds to do so.

I’m ALSO of the school of thought that believes that, if I’ve spent my cash on a TV series box set, it’s mine.

I can back it up to my computer, and sell the physical set on.

That doesn’t give me the right to sell illegal copies on.

It does mean that, should I have not had the chance to watch a given series, I can watch it: even if I’ve had to sell on the physical copies to somewhere like CeX, if I need funds.

What it does mean … ?   Is that, too an extent, I can ‘bank’ a TV series for later viewing: when I’ve got the time to do so.

House of Cards — Series 1: Episode 1, 2 and 3.

You know, I’m something of a film fan.

You’d guessed that: the fact I’ve written a movie post for (almost) every night of the the years should be a clue.

At least, enough posts to fill a year’s worth of reading.

Or …

Yeah, you get my point.

You’ve possibly ALSO guessed I’ve written about TV, too.

Dr Who, mostly, but other stuff had caught my attention.

Humans on Channel Four has been one such.

With Penny Dreadful coming in behind: as a box-set, as I’m not a Sky subscriber.

Can I make a (very minor) confession, here?   At the time I bought the box-set of Penny Dreadful, I ALSO got hold of the first season of something else: that I’d not — until now — got the chance to watch.

Netflix’s reboot of House of Cards.

And … ?

Well …
