This is part of my so-called "Scripted Review" series, in which I make a Youtube video based on an old blogpost. For more information on what this is and why I'm doing it, see HERE:

This is also part of my Television Addiction series. For my explanation of what the Television Addiction series is and why I'm doing it, see: https://youtu.be/T5CEQ9-35xA and http://joelswagman.blogspot.com/2021/04/television-addiction-article-on.html
House of Cards
I had high hopes for this series. I love political dramas, and I’m a big fan of Kevin Spacey.
Alas, I regret to say that the series was awful. So awful, in fact, that I didn’t even bother finishing the last few episodes. (What was the point? None of the characters seemed at all like real people, and I the plot was obviously manufactured and contrived.)
The AVclub has an excellent rundown of all this show episode by episode, and I basically find myself in agreement with their analysis of all the show’s faults.
