I really don't like political themed shows, but he makes it, only watched it originally for him & he doesn't disappoint, now I'm enjoying the show as well as Spacey.
I've began watching it but his character is not easy to like and in fact I can't say that I do.

Still he's better than that skanky young reporter sleeping with him.

A young attractive woman screwing an old ugly but powerful man.

Such a cliche.

I don't think you're supposed to like him particularly, but he's playing the part brilliantly.

And the "screwing" is mutually beneficial, they're using each other (not for sex).
Hanging out for season 2.

^I think they might have already taken a step to far with him now being a murderer.

I watched season 1 of Orange is the new Black on the weekend. Very well done, enjoyed it. Looking forward to season 2.

But not as much as I'm looking forward to Breaking Bad that is airing RIGHT NOW! I'm going to go home at lunchtime and watch it. I don't even want to wait until tonight.

God I hope nothing bad happens to Jesse. :(

How exactly are you going to download and watch it all in your lunchtime?

I'm downloading it now from PB but how long that takes is highly variable.

P.S-Long live Walter White!!!

Yeah, not the sort of thing I would've posted, but don't worry, swoop's statement is not necessarily all it seems.....

It took 33 minutes to download. 40 odd minutes to watch.

Luckily I live 3 kms from work and have flexible conditions! :wink:

Well worth the wait. Soooooooooo hanging to see how they end it now.

Just don't hurt Jesse!
