I haven't watched TV in years.I am currently into the Netflix original series, "House of Cards." Anyone else invoved in this? I find it most interesting, especailly the character of Francis Underwood as played by Kevin Spacey as well as his wife and his girlfriend.
Any thoughts or comments on this series?

My daughter suggested to me that I watch it, mostly because she knows I'm a political junkie.
I found it entertaining. Decent plot, decent actors/acting.
I think I watched the entire series in about two weeks. I got hooked and want to see what happens next season.
From a political point of view, the plot doesn't seem far-fetched as compared to US politics.

I fully believe this kind of stuff goes on with regularity, although there are some things that I think are a tad far-fectched, i.e., how things fare ultimately for Peter Russo (will not go into more detail in the interest of not being a spoiler for those who have not yet waded through all of the first season episodes). I doubt that something like that would ever happen in reality.
Have either of you guys ever been in Washington, D.C.? If so, did you ever go into the Cannon Building, which houses the offices of member of the House? A guy I went to college with was a Representative for about 12 years. When we went through D.C. about 10 years ago, we visited him in his office, which is in the Cannon Building. I am pretty sure that much of the filming of this series was done in the Cannon Building. I suspect the Oval Office is a set.
Underwood is the definition of ruthless, isn't he? And how about his girl frined, Zoey? She's a real piece of work. I can't remember when I have seen a series such as this where the two leading women (Claire - Underwood's wife, and Zoey) were both flaming bitches. An interesting aspect.

Much of the show was filmed in Baltimore because the cost of filming is less than in D.C. But I've been in those hallways many times and if those weren't the actual halls of the Congressional offices then they were a darn good replica.
Russo's fate was pretty farfetched. But it wouldn't surprise me if equally dirty things like that happen all the time with those people.

Well, the way in which his fate came around wasn't far-fetched, but the circumstances were. OK - SPOILER ALERT . . . . if you haven't seen the last two episodes of the first season, don't read further . . . .
Underwood is ruthless, but he is also very intelligent. I just can't see a U.S. Congressman with his intelligence and obvious high-profile position in D.C., committing murder. He has way too much to lose. They could have gotten Russo out of the picture withiout killing him. Russo was not the sharpest tool in the drawer, and could have been manipulated in just about any way Underwood wanted to do it. Risking his entire political life to do it the way he did it just doesn't make sense for a guy as crafty as Underwood.
Did you notice that Russo died in the passenger seat? That would have been the first thing to cause the police to suspect foul play. Not normal for that to happen - car suicides usually die in the driver's seat. I'm going to have to replay that episode and pay attention to how it was that Frank happened to be taking Peter home, if they even show that at all. Who knew that it was Frank that was taking him home? Cops would want to know who the last people who saw Russo alive were and talk to them.
So far, it looks as though there will be no police investigation at all over Russo's death. Maybe that story isn't over, however . . . .

Help me out with something here . . . Underwood's right hand man is Doug Stamper, played by Michael Kelly. Stamper is the guy who went to the AA meetings with Russo. He appears to be equally as ruthless as Underwood and probably capable of as much or even more evil than Underwood himself, if that's possible.
Anyway, in one of the early episodes, we meet Rachel through Stamper. (Rachel is the girl who seduced Russo and got him drunk again for Underwood and Stamper.)
My question is - what was the original relationship between Stamper and Rachel? As I recall, she just appears, all of a sudden, with no explanation as to where she came from or what her connection is with Stamper. I am assuming she was just a hooker that Stamper knew from his past and who somehow crossed his path with him then deciding to help her out and (of course) using her to bring about Russo's downfall.
Do you have anything else on the history of Rachel and Stamper's relationship?
Stamper was sent to pay her off, and then he took her in because him and Underwood still had use for her.

To pay her off for what?

To pay her off for what?
She was the prostitute in the car with Russo when he was pulled over for DUI in the early episodes. Underwood bailed him out so that he wouldn't argue for the Philly shipyards. Stamper paid off Rachel so that she wouldn't talk.
