Well I just finished watching House of Cards. I really enjoyed that show. I was happy Netflix released it all at once but at the same time I’m not because I marathoned it and know im going to be waiting for quite some time till I get more episodes.
I thought the show was really well done and it was interesting to see Underwood’s plotting vs what happened and how he had to constantly adjust his plans and manipulate others to succeed. The only thing I’m kinda eh with in regards to the show is the breaking of the 4th wall. Near the end it started to grow on me but in the first couple episodes I found the way they did it to just be awkward and take away from the overall experience.
I’ll defintely have to go check out Boss now. Knowing nothing about Boss, I don’t see how House of Cards can really be a remake of it but more like how @Pachyderm_In_The_Room said in that its a retake. Too much of the show is in American culture. I can see how this could be adapted from a British version but I feel the two would still be two totally different shows unlike many of the other UK to US ports.
