benos Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Candis and I just finished it, and we both really liked it. I was thinking about it... It "had to have been good," because there is not a topic I could care less about that politics - but I thought the show was fantastic. Kevin Spacey was awesome - and pretty much every other major character was top notch, as was the storyline.

Nik Habicht Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I thought it was pretty good, not perfect.... I didn't care about anything happening at the water initiative.... On the other hand -- Corey Stahl's performance as Pete Russo might have been better than Spacey's. Spacey highlights include the trip back to his district, the reunion at the military academy, and the whole conversation with Kate Mara's character as they embark on the affair. Mara describing the photograph as "mutual admiration society" still cracks me up..... I'll look forward to Season 2.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've been hesitant to give that a try because I really don't care for shows where I don't like the characters - and this looks like it's one of those shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I haven't seen it yet but my dad was an extra in it. I've heard good things. He said Kevin Spacey was pretty amazing to see in person when he got into character. Edited February 22, 2013 by mpolans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I enjoy it. Sadly though I happen to be watching it as I watch similar political shenanigans unfold in my state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
