I hope I never watch tv or movies like this. You must have hated BB. A straight arrow high school chemistry teacher with inoperable cancer becoming a murderous meth kingpin with $85 million in under 2 years? C'mon
Meh. Things should be plausible within the world of the show. BB is plausible enough within the set up that I am willing to go along for the ride. House of Cards is set up as a political drama based off of the government of the United States, and this assumes some amount of relation to that reality, even if dramatized. The incredible, fantastic leaps that it repeatedly asks you to make take a viewer out of the story with how stupid they are.
HoC started as a fun thriller with a couple of silly plot twists the first couple of seasons. It is now just pure pulp, trash entertainment. I watched this last season, but I don't have very much enthusiasm for it. Depending on how I'm feeling I may or may not watch next season.

Very well said. I'm leaning towards not watching the episodes initially and waiting until i hear some feedback.
