"....but political stuff bores the hell out of me" You find it hard to follow?

Ted, I only saw one episode of West Wing, and I thought it was politically correct fluff. From the very first episode of "House of Cards," my wife and I were completely riveted to the sofa. We ended up watching all 13 episodes in the span of 5 days. (We could have gobbled all of it down in one sitting, but we wanted to pace ourselves.) Give it a shot if you have a Netflix streaming account. If you don't, you can sign up for one free month. I was going to cancel my Netflix account until "House of Cards." Now I can't wait for season 2 coming next month. Tenchusatsu

"Never watched one episode of West Wing for an example." I never watched "West Wing" either, because it conflicted with Star Trek, Farscape or something else I watched. But, I've been watching it now on Netflix, and it's WELL worth catching. I've never watched a series that tried to capture the day to day happenings in the WH, but it's fascinating. Last episode, India had invaded a part of Kashmir claimed by Pakistan, and nuclear war is looking likely, Republicans have forced the WH staff to take drug tests, and the president's 19 year old daughter asked a black presidential aide out on a date.
