House of Cards (S2): I screamed out loud in surprise at least once. It’s interesting and fitting to see that even when characters get what they think they want, things don’t always go right for them. But with great power comes great responsibility… and great manipulation. And great acting too!

666 Park Avenue: a neat concept that doesn’t stick to a formula… but also doesn’t stick to any pattern that a viewer can latch onto. Started strong and finished all right, but the middle just kept going. Easy to buy Terry O’Quinn as a baddie. Hard to buy the “coincidences.”
