House of Cards has been a runaway success for Netflix, its characters permeating American culture from the Oval Office to the Oscars. Star Kevin Spacey plays Frank Underwood: a heartless, sociopathic politician gunning for power in Washington, D.C. But how long can a character like that be interesting? And how does the “binge-watching” structure of the show affect its story?

J and I address these questions and more as we discuss the the popular political drama. For those who haven’t seen the show, please note that there are significant spoilers in this podcast. ~ Søren
