House of Cards

[Montreal Canadiens]

Anybody watch this? The remake not the original one from the UK in the 90's.

[SharksGM]

I'm still trying to finish The Wire, gimme a break.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Haven't tried it. May not, since the original UK series was so fucking good.

[CapsGM]

Gonna start watching it soon. Need to finish up Sherlock then I'll jump on it.

What do you think of the latest season of Sherlock?

On season 2 still. I'll watch the season finale sometime this week.

I couldn't get through the first episode of House of Cards. I did binge watch The League on Netflix and lately I've been watching stand-up comedians.

[Calgary.Flames]

House of Cards season 1 was pretty good. I can only assume season 2 is going to be just as good.
I am a fan of Spacey though, so my judgement might be biased.

Just (finally) started watching the first season of Homeland. Pretty good so far, but it's early.

Tonight I think it's NHL Center Ice, though. Just because.

The first season of Homeland was excellent. Second season was ok. Third season was shit.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

I've head that elsewhere, as well. So, two seasons only then.

The second half of the third season really picked up IMO. But the first half was total garbage.

I still don't plan on watching the fourth season (unless I hear it's as good as the first) - the third season's finale was excellent closure and I don't see where the writers can go from there.

[Montreal Canadiens]

Agreed on Homeland, I thought the first 2 seasons were good and the first half of 3 was pretty boring, second half was good, but with the way they ended it I see a tough way to have a successful Season 4.

Season 2 was awesome with House of Cards Julien, should watch it.

I'd give it a chance Adam, it is a bit slow to get going (House of Cards) but then gets into some deep political drama. I thought the first 2 seasons were excellent, and I can't wait for season 3 (stupid year away). Kevin Spacey is freakin awesome, same with Robin Wright.

A few people have recommended House of Cards to me in the last couple weeks, but I have like 10 currently running shows that I watch as well as trying to get through old series(currently in season 5 of The Sopranos, next is The Wire).

I really liked Homeland season one and haven't started 2 but I think I'll give it a chance since I'm a huge Damien Lewis fan. I fucken hate Claire Danes though.

Also,

True Detective is a pretty solid show. Matthew McConaughey can do no wrong.

[Edmonton Mike]

Season 2 starts with a bang. Loved it. Took me less than 48hrs to get through it.

True Detective is a lot like American Hustle to me. Excellent cast, good story, good writing, but it's just moving so slowly. I watched the first two episodes and couldn't get myself to keep going. With American Hustle, it was a movie, so it was easy to get through. But 10 hours of True Detective just seems so much more difficult. I can't really explain it. McConaughey and Harrelson were fantastic in the two episodes I watched, but I just couldn't keep going.

You're gonna love The Wire. Although I can't get through the final season. Too much bad shit even for that show.

They definitely ease into it quite slowly but honestly, give it two more episodes. Episode four has a 6 minute single take tracking shot that is pure art.

I'll do that. It had plenty of promise.

What's the wire? Is it on netflix? I need to start a new show and Sons of Anarchy isnt on netflix in Canada.
