Well I just finished season 2 of Netflix series House of Cards. I really liked it. I know that sounds pretty vanilla. Of course I am torn by the fact that the production value is top notch, acting is off the chart, and writing is fantastic, with the fact that I have a belief that as bad as the characters are and as many agendas are working, it most likely doesn't even scratch the surface.
One of my few complaints is that when the "Kansas City" part of the story line plays out, they say we have "Indian Casinos" (we don't) and while they use a shot of the arch for the St Louis scene, they used nothing from Kansas City. Airport was most likely shot in St Louis or LA. I know this is a petty thing, but the fact they mention the term "fly over" State in the show? Then the writers are guilty of the same Coast arrogance and dismissal.
Still I would recommend it to anyone who likes TV and Political drama. Be prepared to be shocked and feel a little dirty after several episodes.
