Went for the exclusive premiere screening of House of Cards at The Screening Room with Jessie and Terence. As though they knew that one episode of this highly captivating drama is not enough, we were shown two episodes that night!
House of Cards was originally a UK TV drama from the 1990s and now remade by Netflix in 2013 with the setting changed from London to Washington, DC. It is an American political drama TV series so highly rated that even the US President, Mr Obama tweeted about it.

| Kevin Spacey acted as Congressman Frank Underwood |
He plays the role of this cold, scheming and power hungry Frank so well that it would send chills down your spine. In the first few minutes of the opening scene of House of Cards, he murdered a dog with the following saying.

"I have no patience for useless things."
True enough, he have no patience for useless things. He pursues with his own political agenda and manipulates almost everyone around him in order for him to grab influence.

| Robin Wright as Claire Underwood |
Just like the husband, Claire Underwood proves to be as cold, manipulative and power-hungry as her husband. She get somebody to fire over half of the NGO's staff in order to secure funds for her own plans. In the end, she fired that somebody too. This couple truly displayed the husband-wife teamwork and she's someone so strong that she's the type who refused to be left out of any plans.
No wonder Frank loves her wife more than sharks love blood!

| Kate Mara as Zoe Barnes |
She's a young reporter for The Washionton Herald. She is just like one of the piece to be manipulated by Frank. In the first two episodes, both of them form a sort of "deal" to use each other for advancement in their careers. She thought that with the stories Frank leak out to her, she will be climbing up the ranks real fast, but does she have the real control of power to do that?
Big thanks for the invites. If I have to end my post with a statement, I would say, "it's a dog eat dog world." It's either you are using someone or you are being used. Terence was so engrossed in the show he can watched another few more episodes. He even pointed out the upside down American flag with the stars removed. Flying the American flag upside down is an officially recognized signal of distress.
House of Cards will be premiering on 28 May 2014, Wednesday at 9.55pm on the RTL CBS Entertainment HD Channel 318 on mioTV. Watch it and you will not regret!
