I'm only 2 episodes into the new season 3 and it has me sufficiently hooked back in. I like how they put the entire season up at once so I can knock down 3 or 4 episodes this weekend if time allows.

I've heard great things about it but I've not seen it yet.

You mean about the new season or the show in general?

The show in general. It's one of those shows that is on my long "want to see list".

I`ve only seen season 1 so far and thought it was great. Looking forward to the other ones. Kevin Spacey is brilliant.

Yep, I got some friends hooked on Game Of Thrones a couple years back and now it's time to bring out House Of Cards.

first 2 seasons were awesome, this season is moving slower than the first 2. I got my ex hooked on this show, new GF loves it. We watch 2-3 a night of binge watching. Did the same thing with Homeland.

I've seen a few. Didn't enjoy it as much as the Ian Richardson version.

+1 I agree. Anyone who hasn't seen the original with Ian Richardson should do themselves a favour and check that out.

I just looked up the original "House of Cards" and it has an 8.9 rating on IMDB so it seems to be very highly regarded.

I can see why a remake was done though with it being set in US Congress.

Pass.

C-Span isn't covering anything outside of Congress/WH.

First 2 seasons ok, this one not so much.

The British version beats it, as they usually do to US knockoffs.

The original BBC version was great. I plan to watch the US version once it comes out on NetFlix or Shomi.

It's already out on Netflix. Netflix created & produced it, and it's probably the only show ever that Netflix had before anyone else LOL.
