(His bio on Wikipedia is worth reading.)
HoC feels too real not to have an insider contributing. DC is just flat out a scummy nest of vipers that is so far outside what the Founders conceived that it’s a wonder the whole thing has held together.
Absolutely one of the best written shows. However, I didn’t care for this season. I thought it was a little choppy, like they were going down one road and changed midstream. A couple of times. It was a long way around getting to the ending. It wasn’t as finely choreographed as the first two seasons.
I’d always heard it was modeled on the Clintons.
I cancelled HBO decades ago when they had kid shows damning hunting and firearms. My kids were not going watch that crap. The only time I had the urge to watch a show on that network was back a number of years ago when they showed Deadwood. Eventually my town library had the DVDs available and I watched them a couple of years late.
I refuse to subscribe to that leftist channel.
Thanks for the info. I’ve felt the same that it had to be an insider.
ITA. You are right...it didn’t flow as well. Still a great series, though. My fav line this season was when Spacey looked at the camera and barked “WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN’ AT!” Jumped out of my seat!
You can watch it on NetFlix.
It’s a Netflix show. Start at the beginning. You’ll get hooked.
” wilting in the New York heat”
I laughed so hard when I read that phrase.
Eeew Yuckers don’t have any idea what hot weather is unless they move somewhere else.
Liberal Yankees are such wimps
Did you watch The Wire? If not...DO! 5 seasons and still my all time top favorite series. (HOC comes close) I’m sure you can rent it or find online.
from this series it is apparent that power is more important than money....but then again with power you can get all the money you want
Watched the first season. Thought it was well crafted.
However, cesspools can be well crafted. Will not watch any more of the series. The first season’s going queer and murder elements decided me.
I watch television for entertainment. I refuse to view cesspools of others warped lives.

You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!

Congressman Chuck Schumer, a gregarious Democrat from Brooklyn,
has a Conservative Republican ever been described so nicely?
Is “The Wire” on Netflix streaming or DVD?
That was perfect!
It’s not on HBO, it’s on Netflix.
It's a valid criticism. My only criticism of the series is that the darkness is overwhelming. I found myself looking for a ray of sunshine somewhere --anywhere.
But the evocation of that feeling isn't bad.
And I think HOC one of the greatest dramatic portrayals of evil, and certainly the best political drama. Frank is the anti-type of Jesus. The nuns used to say, "if you meet the devil, he'll probably be wearing a three-piece suit."
We certainly need some distilled Essence of Andy to put the fix to what we have now!!
