Movie #945 "House of Cards" season 2 ----- Well, it started off with a huge bang, but then took some turns in the last 4 or 5 episodes that made me not want to continue watching because they seemed far fetched, and not necessarily true to the characters. It ended the season pretty well, so I guess I'm hooked for another season, but this one wasn't as much fun to watch as season 1. Perhaps, I don't like it when I start to enter their evil minds and say things like: you know, life would be better for everyone if she were no longer alive.............not good, not good, not good. So it takes a real different way of watching. We don't condone most of what is happening, yet, like an ambulance going by, we chase it. Why, we aren't sure. And I'm still not convinced I'll make it through another season, but at this point, I have put in a lot of hours here, so I'd like to see where it all goes. Constantly through this season, I was reminded of Shakespearian turns in the plot --- or I'll say, this is like a pact between the Macbeths, etc. I'm not sure I'm elevating it to lofty levels, but I'm still convinced the acting is in good hands.
House of Cards, Season 2 I give it 3.6 out of 5 stars
