I watched the first 2 episodes and man, that's a lot of Spacey. I'm not a fan of self narrating to begin with. I like the storyline but it may be a bit too much Spacy for me.

His narration made me think that the show was going to be like American Beauty where he completely melts down and brings others with him.
four episodes in, it's obvious that's not the case. I really dig the show and fully embrace Netflix becoming the new HBO. |

I'm usually not a big fan of that, but he is killing it. The subtle looks at the camera just crack me up. He is perfect for the narrative.

I'm three episodes in and will definitely keep watching. The acting is great, story is compelling so far, and I love the aesthetic. I definitely see the Fincher touch.

This show is incredible. I'm six episodes deep and the name of the show is just perfect. Spacey is ****ing incredible in this role. The only thing that really bugs me is I'm able to predict certain things that are going to happen. But there have been some compelling twists and turns throughout it. I'll probably have it finished by tomorrow night.
I like to marathon the shit out of series, which is one reason I like Netflix so much. I only have time to do it in the Winter so the release of this was perfect, and I love that they dropped all the episodes at once. They spent a ****ton of money on this series, so I hope it's well received and continues. |

I'll probably start watching Cards this weekend. I put it in my queue as soon as I saw it (I'm a sucker for anything that's based here) but this thread has got me excited to watch it now. Hopefully they do a decent job with making it not too obvious that a lot of it's not filmed in town (I know some of the opening credits stuff is here, but like most other shows they don't want the hassle of filming in town. We also don't give good incentives so I've heard they're doing most of their filming in B-more and Havre de Grace.). It's gotten decent local reception, so it sounds like they did. I liked a lot about the first season of Homeland but they were god-awful with most of their supposed-to-be DC stuff. It was like they weren't even trying.

Definitely the best new show I've seen in years. And I'm a HUGE fan of Person of Interest which previously held that distinction. |

So I'm 6 episodes in and I'm already sure its one of my favorite shows and that its one of the best shows on TV. I honestly feel like I'm watching HBO or AMC.

Just out of curiosity, what's it rated? I'm assuming its geared towards adults with language, violence and sex similar to a cable show?

Yeah, it's tv-ma. Although it's actually pretty mild as far as sex goes when you compare it to other shows. Not a family show by any means though
