FWIW
We started watching “House Of Cards” per Rush’s suggestion and we like it. The only thing I don’t like is when Kevin Spacey talks to the audience like we need help to know what is going on. It’s a sign of bad writing, either the writer can’t convey the story understandably or it’s just pandering needlessly to the audience.
We also started watching “Mad Men” and “Justified” on his recommendation too and I have to say he has our tastes.
I think that’s known in theater as “breaking the fourth wall.” Supposed to be edgy or something.
You should check out “Better Call Saul.” It has been great so far, and you ought to be able to catch up pretty easily.
