I hope you never have kids who become disfigured due to birth defect, sickness, or accident. You sound kind of shallow. Robin is gorgeous!

I love Kevin Spacey. You can totally tell he's acting.

Never noticed. She is a fantastic actress. I love to hate her on this show.

The point of the show is the principal character talking to the audience. Try to read some Shakespeare, and you understand the concept of an actor talking to the audience. You might start with "MacBeth" to understand the plot line for "House of Cards."

You could also start with the original BBC production of House of Cards with Ian Richardson. This cheap American knock-off is not worth wasting your time with. No one does satire like the Brits. FWIW, I am American and certainly no Anglophile. Can you tell I am still smarting over the American remake of The Office and Antiques Roadshow?

+1, minus the grammar and cultural issues of the PP. The UK version is far superior.

Wow - never noticed that before!

I did notice it. But didn't think it was such a big deal. Won't let it stop me from watching the show!

OMG. I knew before the thread even opened what you would say. My husband is beside himself every time she's on the screen. I don't mind it but he is completely skeeved out by it!
