Like many of you, I spent the weekend turning down the volume on the real-life political soap opera that has overtaken the United States and watched Netflix’s House of Cards instead.
You have to feel sorry for House of Cards this year, a little bit: in the 3 years since the series debuted, its TV-as-novel trek through a Mirror Universe version of The West Wing where everyone’s evil and nobody smiles has gone from being trashily far-fetched in its presentation of a scheming American president who is not above murdering a person here or there with his own two hands, to… I dunno… sort of tame?
