House of Cards has not blown me away, and I understand that if it hasn't done so by S02, it's not going to. I can only watch about one a day and then I need a break from it.
Legend of Korra is a friend's recommendation, following my friends asking me to watch Avatar with them. Some beautiful animation and some charming characters, but the storytelling falls slightly short of its predecessor.
Silicon Valley I just started last night on a whim and it's become a full blown binge. The writers are absolutely relentless to Zach Woods, leaves me in ****ing stitches. I'm not the biggest fan of TJ Miller's brand of excess, but it works in this context because it's not driving the whole show. What a fantastically awkward group of men.
Rick and Morty is a show I don't love, but I'm watching it out of loyalty to Dan Harmon and an interest in being in-the-loop. It's funny and it's pretty smart, but I prefer stories with more emotional weight, even from my sitcoms. See: Futurama.

House of Cards: again all I can say is watch the BBC original. If you don't like that I can't see how the US version is going to grab you. Is Spacey portrayed as a modern day Richard III figure?
Silicon Valley: the only thing wrong with this is that there isn't about ninety seasons of it. I've got through season four now and am sad cos there's no more for now. Wonderful show. Jian-Yang is an unsung hero.
