My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

House of Cards (Season 2)

I liked the first season of this political drama but it’s this second season that I love. It starts off right where the last season ended and only gets better with each episode. The first episode alone is jaw-dropping how good it is. Kevin Spacey is in top-form, playing a man with a mission and it’s clear what it is and that’s what makes this series so good. Robin Wright continues to impress playing a woman of complex contradictions. You never know quite what she’s going to do, except be loyal to her husband (maybe). Every episode is great with the last one fulfilling a promise right from the beginning of this saga. The last image left me smiling. What do the producers and writers have in store with the Underwoods? I’m so excited I think I’ll start watching now instead of moving on to a different show. Grade: A
