If you are in to politics, you will not be in to this. It's really has nothing to do with politics other than the Washington as a back drop. I could not get in to either.

I'm hooked on all the relationships and scheming, but the politicking gets old. My least favorite episodes are the ones that revolve around getting a certain amount of votes to pass some bill or other.

I was hooked from the beginning. Had some nice binge watching marathons over the last month and watched them all. I adore Kevin Spacey.

I'm not much into politics, but I got into it once I got used to Spacey's very stylized acting. Took a few episodes.

The show speeds up,. Much of the first few episodes introduces the characters and lays the background for later episodes.

It took us 1/2 an episode. I'd give up if I were you.


+1 we were hooked immediately

The second season isn't that great anyway. It's probably not for you.

No, I don't think you do. It took about 4-5 episodes for me to get into it.

I can't get into it either, OP, but I am the same way -- I don't care about the ins and outs of politicking. Huge yawn.
