I quit House of Cards years ago, after the third season and way before Kevin Spacey was fired for being a sexual predator last year, so I won’t be tuning in to the last eight episodes, but I have to admit it does give me a twinge of curiosity seeing Robin Wright’s Claire Underwood take over the lead role as the new president (Spacey’s character Frank was killed off). One of the things that always bugged me about this show was the fuzziness of the politics, to be honest- it seemed like it existed in some alternate universe where the parties and issues bear no resemblance to real world parallels. If Claire was a Democrat with the positions and policies of actual Democrats, I really wouldn’t mind seeing her wreak havoc on all the people who deserve her vengeance.
