    I have seen the first four episodes of the new series and my god there shocking twists and turns. I would like to discuss this because it is really good, got so many questions to ask

    I think the only way to discuss this series is to have a thread for each episode.

    Spoiler tags should technically work so long as it is clearly stated what episode they contain details of.

    Though it could get messy :p

    Maybe! I always like to get reacquainted with past events before a new season premiere. :D



    Haha and finished already?! I'm trying to drip feed this season as I "devoured" season 1 in a few days and really really felt the wait for this season. I'm trying to drag out season 2 till the end of the month, but I don't know if I'll last that long. The first 3 episodes have been nothing short of sublime. :cool:

    Next season is still a year away and some people are finished already! I think we all need to show some restraint. I think I can make it to the end of the month before I'm done. Mind you, only because there are 28 days :D

    Probably best to split the season into 4 threads and you can hop in and out as you progress. At the end of the day not every episode is a winner and people tend to watch 2-3 episodes at a time anyway.

    Well I'm trying my best. I'll get on with episode 4 (and probably 5) tomorrow night. It's just such a fantastic piece of storytelling that I can't stop watching. I'm just thankful it has been renewed. :D

    Just finished episode 8. I think that's enough for tonight. I'm sure I'll finish off the rest tomorrow.

    Tried 3 episodes but did not like it. Imo Scandal is awesome.

    Scandal is good, started losing its way though.

    even how good it was/is it's still a poor mans "house of cards", IMO :D

    Agreed. Scandal is great fun but it's a lightweight popcorn piece compared to House of Cards.

    6 episodes into season 2 so far, it's really gripping, a great show.

    Episode 11... spoilers below!
    The threesome with Claire/Frank/Edward... WTF!

    This show is incredible... you never know what is going to happen next! This show is on a par with the likes of Breaking Bad, The Wire and Homeland.

    Anyone else having break up of Picture on Season 2, get a green line at the bottom of the picture and then it pauses, not had a problem with anything else on netflix.

    No, watched on PC and TV and it's been perfect.

    My favourite episode was 12

    Just finished Episode 11
    I saw the Claire-Meechum thing coming but not the threesome.

    Need to pop out for a few hours so I'll finish off the final two tonight.

    Watched all 13 episodes of the new season, really enjoyed it, although the 1st season was better.

    Just finished season two, can't wait for season three!

    Bring on OITNB in June for the next binge fest! :D
    RIP Doug Stamper, he was a great character. I'm not so keen on Seth.

    Enjoyed the first series despite it being, well, pretty tedious at times. Watched first 5 of the second series and really, if you've seen the first series you can pretty much guess how it goes: Frank is a bad boy. His wife is too. Politics is all a lot of lies and back-slapping. Check, check, check. Bor-ing.

    Scandal is far, far more entertaining. And yes, I recognise it's pure popcorn. But that's fun. This is… depressing.
