Watch the first season and then stop. The second season isn’t terrible, but it quickly goes downhill.

Watch the first 2 seasons. Season 2 has an all time plot twist.

After that maybe watch S3 if you want. Do not watch anything else

The first two seasons are all you need to watch. The whole point of the show is resolved at the end of the second season.

First two seasons are top tier tv. Just stop after that- season 2 ends on a satisfying note

I remember how far fetched it seemed when it first dropped on Netflix
Nowadays they would fit right in with the political establishment
It was fine until spacey got in trouble and couldn’t finish the series

IMO the end of season two is a great place to stop. I wish I had.

Yes. I absolutely loved this series. It’s a tad bit slow but it truly shows how fricking up and corrupt our government is

Watch the original British version from the ‘90s.

She was much better as Jennie.

That jaw has become rather large.

I'm with the majority of the posters. First season was binge worthy and entertaining, but then they got rid of one of the bright spots in the show. Once you have a "Why would they do that?" moment involving a subway train....Jump ship.

I dont think the showrunners were expecting Spacey to get MeToo'd, turn fake gay, and disappear

I may know what you're referring to - I asked a few questions a while back to someone who watched it since I figured I wasn't going to ever get past the first 3 episodes or so I'll still give it a shot
