House of Cards
Kevin Spacey is one of the best actors in Hollywood. His role in
American Beauty was unbelievable. He gained for this role Oscar's Award. He has
9/10 rating on Filmweb.
I think that everyone has watched Fight Club. The first rule of Fight
Club: You do not talk about Fight Club :) David Fincher, who has been the director
of this movie is on top 4 best directors ever.
Joel Schumacher, who has been the director of Falling Down (starring
Michael Douglas), Jodie Foster (the main role in Silence of the Lambs) and
Agnieszka Holland.
All of them are the creators of one of the best series ever - House of
Cards.
House of Cards is first original TV series made by Netflix. Thanks to
the success of this series many others Netflix’s productions have been
created like Narcos or The Crown. Netflix released all of its episodes of a new
season at once, which was something fresh. The main character - Frank Underwood
(Kevin Spacey) is a congressman, who wants only power. Like he said: “Money is
the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years, power is
the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who
does not see the difference.”
He will do everything to become the president of the United States of
America. Hand in hand with his wife Claire Underwood (Robin Wright, she played
in Forest Gump) eliminate all enemies who will try to stop them.
On May 30 Netflix released a new season of the House of Cards. “The American
people don't know what's best for them.... I do” - these are the first words
Frank Underwood speaks in the official trailer of Season 5. We will see fight
for power at a much higher level than in Poland :)
I would highly recommend watching it. House of Cards keeps you in
suspense. It is unpredictable. Amazing acting. You must watch it before the
session :D

I'm not a fan of politics. Actually I hate that topic of conversation. When someone starts talking about it I just go away, because I have nothing to say about it. I think that politics is the most boring topic and I don't understand why people are interested in it.
My favourite series is for sure Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch. But I also enjoyed watching Narcos, Orange is the new Black and Black Mirror. I recommend all of those series.
My favorite series are Breking Bed, Fargo , Vikings, GOT, Tabu and more
I'm also not a fan of politics. I know something about it, the current situation in Poland, but I don't like discussing it.
My favorite series are Vikings, Tabu and Supernatural (it has 12 seasons, but still I can't stop watching it :P)
Yes I have seen two or three episodes. Liked Kevin Spacey and his serial wife they make a great sociopaths duo - they are not normal, that is for sure:) But sorry politics - tricks, back stabbing of the opponents is really not for me - it is everyday day fight and usually not a fair and clean one. Recently watched Nine Lives with him and liked it very much - good connection of his character and proper movie to watch with a child.

I am on the daily basis with it to know what is going on - but hate to watch people fighting all the time, showing off, instead of doing something good together - but that is life thuh.

Mentalist is a good criminal type one for me with a nice plot. Breaking Bad shows what you can do when you are on the edge and Narcos how Pablo Escobar ruled the world with his confidency.
I think the roles that Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright play are spectacular. To me this series is interesting especially in terms of the politics and what is behind the politics, so all of the tough decisions and choices the politicians have to make. Obviously, it may be exaggerated, but still it reveals how tough player one must be and thick skin must have in order to be able to achieve something regardless of the circumstances.
I was initially put off by the way Kevin Spacey occasionally talks directly to the camera, but by the end of the first season, I found that I actually appreciated the way these scenes were done. I'd suggest checking it out. Worst case scenario, you sit through a few episodes and decide you don't like it.
The best series I have watched so far was Narcos, because I like old style movies and factual ones.
No, not interested in politics , because I think that this show (like many similar series about politics) shows that politics is a dirty game of politicians for any your benefits.
I recently watched the excellent TV series "Westworld" and "American gods" , "son". Ate we talking about the TV series with a political context not long ago ended a season of "Last candidate", he is also quite not bad.
But thank you for giving me a few more reasons to take a closer look :).
Unfortunately, I haven't had time yet to see House of carts series, however it's number 1 on my "to watch" list just after session.
About politics - I am not into it, maybe that is why I didn't fell for House of Cards. But I try to get the last news, just to orient in the situation around me.
At the beginning I was not interested in “House of Cards” because for me the plot seemed to be boring.
