She's better looking outside of that picture, but she's definitely a generic blonde. Chula's type basically.

Generic Blond? Uhm, ok. Google "AJ Cook bikini" and get back to me.

Still generic/plain. It's in the face. Not like she's ugly of course, just common.

Wait hang on, do you actually not know? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_manipulation

They could even make you me like a hot blonde.

Soooo I started House of Cards yesterday and I got 5 episodes in, then put it away. I'm worried that this series is going to be little more than 4 seasons of escalating manipulation / personal threat, and that the series isn't going to end up telling an enclosed story. Sort of like the David Fincher version of Suits. After you've seen the first season, you've seen the whole series and it never goes anywhere; the characters just manipulate each other in the same tired ways and never develop. At a certain point, it's like TV is about trying to see how many more episodes they can make instead of telling a good story.

I have a really hard time getting into dramas, because most of the gratification comes from the overarching story, and if that doesn't play out in a satisfying way, it kind of ruins the whole series. Like with Suits, or Dexter, or Lost, or House. At least with comedy if the end of the show sucks you can just ignore it because the episodes prior to it tell complete stories and are instantaneously gratifying.

I'm tired of being disappointed by TV.

Why you gotta drag House into this? It's as much comedy as drama and the overarching season plots are just an excuse for episodic Dr. House douche porn. It's the kind of show you're only supposed to binge if you're not trying to connect the episodes together.

The first 3 seasons are very good. The 4th one is hard to get through. I suggest watching it though. I loved it.

Being disappointed by TV? What!? This is the second golden age of television we are currently experiencing. There are so many great TV shows out now. I don't know what you've been watching that you are constantly disappointed by TV. Also give House of Cards more of a chance than you currently have.

You might like the show then, as it supposedly has nothing to do with the books and "Douglas Adams could power up a city block he's turning in his grave so much" according to some I has an DA vibe at times, but definitely not often enough to call this a true Douglas Addams story.
