If you want your mind blown watch True Detective, then read articles about each episode after watching said episodes, go back and watch episodes again and have your mind blown even more. Crazy good show.

Great season so far, as expected.

I am very impressed by Robin Wright 's(Claire) performance, and glad she got a Golden Globe last year.  Also, while I'll root for Jon Hamm to get an Emmy, I will also be glad if Spacey gets one this year too.

Pretty weird format with Netflix releasing the whole season at once.  I can't say I dislike it, but it's just weird as I like to read reviews after each episode I watch but I also want to avoid any type of spoilers (which is why I'll not  read the rest of this thread just in case :)  ).  I'm curious how many people were done watching it by last Friday!?

I'm only 3 episodes into season 2 and am finding myself in that limbo of some shows where it hasn't gotten bad enough to dump out of it but I'm no longer all that intrigued any more either. I do want to "see what happens" but, that's about it. I think this feeling has something to do with plausibility going completely through the wood chipper. I know, for example, Breaking Bad stretched plausibility to its limits but it's hard to sell that a Walter White- or Dexter-style character could roam free in the White House. That's a little different than Albuquerque.

The Molly Parker as Jaqueline Sharp character could be compelling no?

And, as always, no spoilers please.

Yup. And exactly what I expect from Frank. Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining. I think the acting of the leads is great. They just get their ways far too easily for my liking. And didn't anyone expect for the end of season 2 to be any different?

Love this series, finished it in three days.  It's very refreshing to see a series that has a defined beginning, middle, and end, in contrast to some of the other shows I've "enjoyed" that have aimlessly meandered for a few seasons and then hastily been forced to wrap up (looking at you, Lost, House, How I Met Your Mother, Dexter).

Very good. It kept me coming back, I binged the whole thing in two days, but it wasn't quite as good as the first season just because there was very little suspense. A couple storylines either should have been removed or followed up on a bit more. Most of all, though, it just didn't feel like anyone was even being set up to have the ability to challenge Francis.

Watched it all in three days. It was really awesome. Already excited for next season. I did start to have some weird dreams though.

Only halfway through season two, but it's problems are even more evident. Underwood is way too godlike, and the fact everything goes his way 100 percent of the time is grating. This, along with some mundane plots and the fact every character stays the same keeps it from being great. Still awesome at parts but overall it's not my favorite. I started The Shield instead of finishing season 2, and that show has been kick ass.
