House of Cards (US) was ok, some parts were excellent, some were embarrassing (the train-pushing, agreed), the music was maybe the best part.House of Cards Trilogy (UK) on last rewatch piled it on a bit thick TBH, still very much better than the US remake IMO though.

Tru Blood’s “I’m a fairy?” moment, House Of Cards pushing Kate Mara in front of a subway, Homeland’s second season, the early 2010s were the heyday of trashTV not knowing the difference between “this is fun” and “this is stupid”

scandal knew how to do it but it never tried to have it both ways which is crucial imo

I remember enjoying House of Cards (US) for a while, it was trashy in a good way. Kind of seemed like a fun caricature of US politics a bit like Veep was. But by the time he became president there didn't seem to be much of a point to this show anymore so I think I quit sometime in the 3rd season.

I think the main reason I like it so much is all the memorable peripheral characters, beyond the Underwoods. I could name at least a dozen, some of whom are only there for a short time.

I once wasted about $100 to see him in Eugene O'Neill's Moon for the Misbegotten, where he played Jim Tyrone like Keyzer Soze

My cousin and his wife, major theatergoers, still rave about his performance in The Iceman Cometh when they saw it in London about 25 years ago.
