anybody watching the netflix original show, house of cards? id post a review but they all give plot points away. i cant compare it to the west wing because i never watched it but its light years better than the newsroom. one comment that i thought was true was that since netflix released them all at once, the creators didnt have to be constrained by the need to string viewers along with cliffhanger episodes and plot twist, and could develop the story with a more natural pacing. so im eight episodes in to the thirteen and its been mostly character development along with world building though i read that the last third of the season it becomes more of a political thriller. i dont know if the networks passed on this or the creators want ed more freedom (or got more money) but considering the tripe they normally feed the masses it looks like they blew it again.

Death & Taxidermy
Edgar shares: an eccentric fellow who has let the skeletons out of his closet and into his abode. Behind stained glass windows, he rescues specimens left for dead to live an afterlife in his home. Then, an intriguing young lady harvests highways for her reanimating pleasure. She resurrects the childhood pastime of collecting stuffed animals, but with a very deadly twist. Later, a man who has made his house a shrine to the labors of a deceased genius, conjures ghostly harmonies from restored phonographs numbering in the thousands.
