...was goddamned BRUTAL! A dog is hit by a car and the Congressman puts him down with his bare hands.
I hope the rest of the series doesn't use a dog's death as a metaphor or as any dramatic device. It had me in tears...

How was the rest of the show?

(62,683 posts)I literally dive for the remote when the ASPCA spot comes on MSNBC. I just can't even look at those pictures. PatSet feels they'd get a better response if they showed frolicking animals with their loving new family, and I really wish they'd go that route.
My best friend in LA said that yesterday during his hike (up to the Hollywood sign) he saw a coyote wandering aimlessly, then saw a deer and its baby deer (don't know what they're called). We both were sad about it -- how we've just taken their habitat from them.

(3,697 posts)I think the series is well done but I can only take so much conservative sliminess in one sitting. The original British produced House of Cards was outstanding and I ended up purchasing the DVD set. I'm not so sure I will enjoy the US remake as much.
