House of Cards [View all]

Just finished the first episode. Will there be any sympathetic characters? Don't get me wrong. It is a hell of a show. But everybody is such an SOB and remind me of why I quit the political consulting biz and started teaching. I like the teachers union guy, but so far he is peripheral.
