Just started watching this. After episode one I was intrigued, after episode two I was hooked. That was last night at 11pm, now I'm starting episode six, binge-watching at this point.

 

Kevin Spacey is brilliant, Corey Stoll's character is incredibly compelling, and Kata Mara is hot. Anyone else into this show?

I watched the whole series in three nights.

My wife saw two episodes coming off of work then binged the rest of the season the next day. It is done really well and the local ties of the story to Gaffney and the The Citidel give it another layer of interst for me.

Spacey is on point as are all the actor/actresses. Even Jenny Gump is amazing but she is usually good in anything.

David Fincher's directing is toned down but it does not need his usual sprinkles as the story itself is the darkness. It is a perfect collabration of amazing story and actors to make everything not only interesting but relevant in todays political climate. The peek behind the Washington curtain is done well.

It was one of my two favorite shows of 2013, along with Boardwalk Empire which I have been obsessed with for four years.  So yeah, I enjoyed it more than both Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, both of which were spectacular this year.  I think I actually watched the whole thing in a twenty-four hour period.

 

Look forward to a re-watching Feb 8-9, followed by a total binge the following weekend.  I really hope season two is able to match season one.

Is it bad that I am from Gaffney and have never watched this?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
