    It's 02:13 AM. I've just watched 14 episodes straight and I've only booted up my PC to write this. No actually, because I felled compelled to share. I've watched so many series and movies but this has never happened before. This series just swept me away and I had to literally force myself to stop watching. The writing and acting in this show are amazing. It get's a hold of you. You just need to know how deep the rabbit hole goes. A while you can predict some turns and events it still manages to surprise you. It eases you in to a set of rules and then breaks them. It's brutal but yet so eloquent. It's to despise and to admire. It's a journey everyone should experience. I go to bed now filled with adrenalin and with only one thought on my mind: "What's next?".

    Yea it's a good show. Some events in season 2 are a bit too silly/over the top tho.

    Orange is the new Black is another Netflix drama that's pretty good. Or you could go with the classics like Sopranos or The Wire if you haven't seen them.

    Try watching that on a 65" 4k TV, it looks absolutely stunning!

    Yeah I got through this series during the last few months, I was highly impressed. Kevin Spacey is one monumental actor, and the show felt claustrophobically dark at times. Can't wait for season three.

    I've seen only season 1 :/ watched the first ep after a year and I felt I needed to go through the first again first… so I never caught up.

    Now I might convince my gf to see it and watch it together from the start…

    Hopefully the show can get to Breaking Bad levels of quality, it's already almost there

    The rythm of the show is crazy and the actors are awesome. I binge watched the two seasons in two weeks this summer and couldn't get away too.

    House of Cards was better than BB the 1st episode. BB is a sine wave in consistency = B-Tier

    The murder plots in particular. Especialy the one on the female journalist. Also that strange hacker guy.

    I'm not even joking breaking bad is fine but it's not top of the heap


    house of cards is same deal, really entertaining but ultimately pretty much trash. Well made trash.


    The content just became too much. Pretty much final episode of S1 was the real revelatory moment of the trash heap the show would descend into.

    I mean this in the nicest way possible by calling it trash. The acting and production are nice and it seems the people making it care about it.

    Which is fun I think, if the show knows what it is. Sort of like what Dexter was before it turned into a complete shit heap. First 2 or 3 seasons were just fun throw away trash before it fell into a boring formula without any balls or a clue as to where the show should go to continue being interesting.

    I wouldn't say Breaking Bad is trash by the way, but it definitely plays to the crowd. It doesn't exactly challenge the viewer in any meaningful way. It's just a well constructed series that gets to go to some extremes other shows don't.
