Watched the 4th episode of season 2 last night. The new whip had a hilarious pwn. She's awesome.

Finished eps two and three last night. Hoping to get through a couple more tonight. It's definitely getting good. It took me a bit to remember everything that had happened in the first season.

I have one episode of Season 1 remaining.
I've heard nothing but rave reviews, re: the first episode of Season 2.

I was sick this weekend and watched them all while I was sitting around feeling miserable. Pretty good. Better than last season, IMO.

Season 1 > Season 2. Thought the second season was pretty weak and the ending, imo, was predictable.

Also - what the fuck is with the weird sex cuts that have no tie in to anything that happens? The chinese guy likes to be tied up and blow with a plastic bag on his head and Underwood likes dudes.

Also, the entire thing with Freddy was a colossal waste of time.

The Chinese dude's sex scene was pretty weird/hilarious, and yes, it was pointless.

Frank liking dudes is not new. They touched on it last season when he went back to his alma mater for the weekend. I think the scene with Meechum was partly to show how manipulative Frank and Claire are (not like we didn't already know that). Clearly Claire cannot satisfy him sexually, which just drives home the point that their marriage is very different than most.

Yeah I get that - but it really had no bearing on anything. Oh man, he banged the secret service guy...now what? Does he use it as leverage for anything? Just seemed out of place.

I'm just curious where it goes from here.

When I first saw the Chinese dude sex scene I figured Frank or someone else would blackmail him with it sometime during the season. And then the season ended. fucking weird.

She wasn't trying to cause problems for Christina. She was causing issues between the President and the First Lady. She wanted them to end up in counseling.

Just plowed through both seasons. Good series, not great. Season 1 was way better than Season 2.

Finished both seasons. Season 1> season 2.

2 was just so unrealistic and I hate how he's now the president after 2 seasons. Whip to president in what? A year? Cmon

Love the show. Can't wait to binge on it. Just gotta finish Orange is the new Black first.
