SERIES PREMIERE: This new series, starring Kevin Spacey as a career politician with his own self-serving agenda, is available starting today, at any time, on Netflix – and not just the first episode, either, but all 13 hours in this drama series’ first season. It’s a bold way to present a new show that is this good, and I suspect it is, indeed, the wave of the future. For a full review, and a link to my review on NPR’s
Fresh Air with Terry Gross, please refer to
Bianculli’s Blog. And if you can’t find
House of Cards on your opening screen when opening your Netflix streaming service, just type in the show’s entire name in the Search box. You’ll find it there – as well as the 1990 British miniseries on which it’s based. Let the binge viewing begin! Kate Mara (pictured with Spacey) and Robin Wright co-star.
