Saw the first episode and it seemed to be pretty good. The style of the show makes it a departure from the norm. Spacey wasn't amazing but he was solid, I recommend you check it out if you can.

Been keeping my eye on this one too, it looks like it could be alright. I think all the episodes aired back to back the other night.

It's only available on Netflix US, all the episodes were released at once for subscribers.
 
Done it, blasted through all 13 episodes. Fantastic stuff, very entertaining, looking forward to where they take this in S02. Underwood is a great character that just keeps developing.

However, like much of the discussion on the internet, I'm torn by the distribution method from Netflix. Sure, it's fantastic I don't have to wait a week between episodes. But binging on it in a week like I did, it feels like I missed out some factor of amplified entertainment. I don't think it is the perfect solution to be honest, especially from the 'social' angle, it's near impossible/'dangerous' to discuss the show because everyone is on a different episode.

Finally, Stamper is damn faithful ain't he?

I believe it was because it was a bad early draft made by the guy that Underwood wanted rid of. The reaction from the media pretty much forced him to resign, although i cant remember why exactly Underwood wanted him gone. Might have been something to do with the fact that now that guy is gone Underwood becomes the hero by fixing the bill himself?

Yes, it made Underwood the hero and gave him bargaining power with the President. Because POTUS figured Underwood was amazing and brilliant for saving the education bill, having that position allowed him to push through his dastardly plot.
