not into the political dramas but ill give this a shot.
Just wanted to say that netflix not redesigning their site for this is baffling.
if you are not a member and for whatever reason went to netflix.com you might see it. if you are a current member and go to the page it's the same old, same old. Why?
Netflix, look at Hulu. Do what they do.
Anyway can't wait to watch it this weekend.

Saw the first episode. So, so good.
Kevin Spacey is absolutely enthralling to watch on screen. Every scene he's in is fantastic.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, Kristen Connelly is :swoon:, and this show already delivered the "goods" in that department.

Regarding episode 4
Am I right in thinking, reading between the lines about staying at hotels, Frank knows about his wife's (previous) affair and her not restarting it this time?

2nd episode even better
Great acting, definitely Emmy worthy

- Onion A|V Club review of episode 1 (no spoilers beyond that)
The iPad app has a large banner for HoC running across the entire top of the screen.

Not hard to do. Although I think his point was moreso a comparison of explicit content and the general backstabbing, not overall quality of the show.
Can't wait to start this show later this weekend

Just watched the first episode, so far so good. Its so weird thinking this is a show for Netflix only.
netflix needs to redesign their site and apps for consoles IMO, reflect the more premium ideas.

The Xbox Netflix app got an update and "Original content" is it's own category now With House of Cards being emphasized heavily. This and Arrested Development later this year is gonna be great. Since Arrested Development is on Netflix now, there wouldn't be any restriction with language and nudity.

For those who have watched the first few episodes so far, how's the soundtrack?

I like it. The second episode had some great music in it.
I've been impressed.
Was going to watch ep 1, and sat through 4. The automatic playlist makes you want to marathon the season.
Like everything about it, except for the occasional weak Spacey aside, the hackneyed Russo character, and for being tempted to buy a thousand dollar rowing machine.

Damn, just finished ep 1, that was great. Going to be hard to not watch the whole season today.

Huh? When I launched the app on my Xbox, I had a big welcome splashpage that was all House of Cards. It was pretty slick, in fact. More than just a Hulu featured slide.

Watched about half of episode 1 so far. I was expecting some jerky rip-off, but so far it looks like, in atmosphere, plot, behaviour to be close to the original (though the to-camera stuff is a bit overplayed). Obviously there's not quite the background of the original, and the intro sections seemed a bit rushed, but on the whole I'd say this is shaping up damn good.

I just got to episode 6 and it's great so far.
The education debate and the fallout was hilarious with the youtube parody and Bill Maher's New Rules

This is what netflix needed to become the next starz or hbo
Yeah, using Boxpn to watch Netflix in Germany. It's about 3$ on a 12 months subscription and 5$ on a one month sub.
episode 3 -
it was interesting watching the first non-fincher episode. stark difference in style with the new director in charge - more languid, more in the daylight - good, more to my tastes perhaps, but i can't help but wonder what the show would be like if fincher could have directed every episode.
extended texting back and forth scene was good with the sherlock esque visuals. it's interesting how films and tv have to adapt to the changes in the way people communicate. in modern settings it feels wrong not to have lots of electronic communication between people as that's a huge part of how people talk to eachother these days, but it's so hard to make as cinematic as a real, person to person conversation or even a phone call. i thought they did a good job here though.
frank's sermon was AMAZING. i'm really curious as to where claire's charity storyline is going. peter is totally going to have his romance fueled recovery torpedoed by being a part of frank's scheming isn't he.

The third episode was directed by the director of Glengarry Glen Ross, so even though it loses some of Fincher's style it's not a big drop in quality
edit: shit I haven't seen them yet but 5/6 are directed by Joel Schumacher

I'v had some success with a free Chrome extension called Mediahint. It has allowed me to view BBC iPlayer stuff from the US, so worth trying first.
That is of course if you are watching on PC, if you're using a PS3 or Apple or other device then you'll need a VPN or DNS service like unblock-us.
Mediahint. Amazing extension that lets you access US stuff with very high speeds. Also free.
