If you see me this week at the university (I'm finally back, so there's a chance we'll see each other) and I seem sleepy, or even unconscious, I have an explanation : House of Cards is finally back!
Netflix did a very stupid thing releasing all the episodes at once. I'll probably finish watching them by the end of this week.
I don't watch many tv series, they are very time consuming and addictive and I don't even look for new ones so that I wouldn't be tempted to watch them all day long. Anyway, once my mom was watching HoC on the TV and I couldn't resist. I even organised House of Cards marathon and I watched it all night. So now the time has finally come for the third season and I watch it whenever I can. Many people think it's silly, not realistic and very "American", but I don't care, I watch it anyway.
