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?

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
