I’m Excited! Sort of…
It’s no secret that I am devoted to my Netflix. I can’t count the number of discs rented or hours of streamed content watched in this house via 
their services. So I was very excited to hear that they were going to release an original series of their very own – starring Kevin Spacey and produced by David Fincher! How can anything be wrong with that?
Well, it turns out that the series, House of Cards, revolves around a ruthless politician. Crap, it’s my entertainment Achilles Heel. Political intrigue – unless it’s The West Wing – just makes me sort of nauseated. I have to see sleazy politicians on the news every minute of the day – I prefer to keep them out of my entertainment.
But it’s David Fincher and Kevin Spacey! I have to at least give it a try. The series premieres February 1st. Take a look at the trailer and see if you’re willing to invite this power hungry politico into your home.

Sue reads a lot, writes a lot, edits a lot, and loves a good craft. She was deemed “too picky” to proofread her children’s school papers and wears this as a badge of honor. She is also proud of her aggressively average knitting skills. TV and indie movies are her jam.

Joan and I took two weeks. Lots of politics, but lots of smart writing and plot twists too. Just think: Forrest Gump's Jenny and Princess Buttercup as a lean, slick DC power broker. It's not just Spacey in there. :D Read Less

I'll want to binge watch. I think I'll watch it by myself so I don't have that annoying husband self control imposed on me. I heart my Netflix binges.
