House of Cards.
The first episode is kind of slow, but it really starts to kick-in in episode two. I binged watched the rest of season one, starting season two now. Kevin Spacey is amazing.
I tried this after repeated recommendations and actually ended up watching more than I would've, if it had been my choice by myself, but I have to say that I don't get the hype around this one at all.
The mood of it is trying to be overly serious all the time and I genuinely have no idea why most of the time.
It also just seems like they love the fact they got Kevin Spacey too much, as it just spends so much time with him and he even talks directly at you to explain things - although I'm still left lost.
I just found it boring. Felt like some sort of faux-drama, where they were trying to make you feel tension all the time and that everything was so big and dramatic and yet I cared about none of it.
Tried about 3-4 episodes and have no drive to return to it.
OT: After hearing good things, mostly from American audiences/friends, about True Detective. I got a subscription to be able to watch it online and I have to say that the channel subscription I am fine with just with watching that programme alone. It justified the cash by itself.
I absolutely loved it and thought Matthew Mccounaghey was brilliant in it, and so was his character.
I loved how they did the most dysfunctional pair of detectives to be the leads as well. It was great to have the partners just not get along in any way.
There, I recommend that, as a thing on the internet. Perhaps now you can use that to be your next 'humoring'.
