Somewhere over the past year the line between television drama and reality blurred. There is a President who talks down to people, commit heinous acts of violence and depravity, we have issues with the Russians, and we live in a perpetual state of fear from terrorist cells worldwide… quick, am I talking about America 2017 or Season 4 of House of Cards? A show that cuts this close to reality is not going to be shy with the current scope of American politics, and I expect this will be a unique and interesting season for Netflix’s award winning political thriller. I wait with baited breath to see how far the writers will push the boundaries.
#FU2016 seems like art imitating life, but the art is soooo much more fun. Netflix has released the House of Cards official season 4 trailer, and it is as ominous as we know Frank Underwood’s (Kevin Spacey) dark abyss of a soul to be.
