Last night’s show may have been the “Worst Emmys Ever” - but it was historic in one respect: Netflix scored a statue for David Fincher’s directorial work on House of Cards.
When Netflix announced it would be premiering Hemlock Grove to follow its uber-successful hit House of Cards, the buzz was tremendous. The trailer for the show only added to the frenzy.
Then it premiered… and became quite possibly the most awkward, nonsensical, ridiculous show around. Famke Janssen, arguably the show’s biggest star, puts on what may go down as history’s worst accent, the dialogue is pretentious and the thrills are few and far between.

House of Cards actor, Kevin Spacey, recently traveled to Boston to show his support for those affected by last month’s bombings.

Netflix’s series House of Cards is an excellent representation of how politics is actually done. It is a little over the top, but gives an insight on how the political class gets things done.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is always full of mockery and jokes at the political class.
So the people at Politico and House of Cards put together a funny spoof of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:

Building off the success of House of Cards, digital network Netflix has tapped Andy and Lana Wachowski to helm a new sci-fi series entitled “Sense8“.
