Rewatching the first season on Netflix now and :banderas: what an awesome series. I haven't been this impressed with a first season since The Sopranos. Just great storytelling, character development, plots, etc. Frank Underwood>>>>>>>>>>>. The calculating, cunning nature is something you don't see in characters on TV now. His wife is ride or die and not an annoying, whiny c*nt like the average TV series wife( Carmella, Skylar) I cannot wait until Feb 14 :noah:

You didn't say anything about his performance...

But anyway, Walter White, Don Draper, Carrie Mathison (before this season :scusthov:) and pretty much every character on Boardwalk Empire

You cats do this every time a show has a good first season. It happened with "Heroes" back in the day and more recently with "Homeland".

A show needs, at the bare minimum, 4 great seasons before it can even be considered an all-time great. Not 1 great season....not 2-3 mediocre seasons and a great season....3-4 certified great seasons. I don't mean great by Coli standards, but that's a part of it. I mean critically acclaimed, widely accepted as great, universally praised.

"House of Cards" has 1 season like that. Let's re-examine the show 3 years from now.

I can't comment on Homeland(gotta set time to watch it) but those other characters no. I mean don't get me wrong they are good in their own right but they are not on the level of Frances Underwood da gawd(yes I went there :birdman: )

Nope. I know this is the one. I called it with the Sopranos and with The Wire. Its just instinct. You can tell by the writing and development that this show will not fall off for at least 5 seasons. You could see the writing on the wall with shows like weeds, heroes, lost, entourage etc were going to go downhill because at the core their premises were weak. I don't feel the same way about HOC. Its kind of like how scouts were hyping up Lebron in 02 as the dude that was going to be the star of the decade. You just know it. You dudes are entitled to your opinion and thats cool but I disagree. This show is shaping up to be the one of the GOATS.
Off 1 fukking season? Dumbass fool :heh:

Do you even watch the show fakkit? Oh I see you probably butthurt from yest. If your not crying about football or wrestling your opinion is void. :duckcamby:
