*slight spoiler below*

We are really enjoying this series ... His acting in this series is some of the best acting I've seen in a long time ... the car scene, I literally felt like I had just witnessed somebody I know commit murder .... a credit to his acting and the way they set him up to connect with the audience...great show!

It's a bit over the top at times, but I think that's intentional.

It's Kevin Spacey. His performance in the Usual Suspects is one of the all time greats. Guy is a legit actor. I need to check out this show.

Agree. It's another solid role from Spacey.

Spacey is obviously the best actor in the whole show with Frank being the strongest character. But outside of him, Robin Wright, and Kate Mara, everyone else is fairly unknown (at least I don't know them) but put in really strong performances. Michael Kelly has been in a few things but this is probably his biggest role ever.

Peter Russo has been one of my most favorite characters in a show ever. Which is why I AM SO MAD THAT HE WON'T BE ON THE SHOW ANYMORE DAMMIT!!!

It is an awesome show. All of the performances are terrific. Spacey is great as Frank Underwood. I especially like how Spacey's character breaks the 4th wall a few times an episode. Gives it a different touch. Excellent series.
