"We like powerful people because somewhere we also want to be powerful in our life"
20 November 2019
When i have made my mind in November this year that i should start this high rated political drama not because of its popularity on internet, people are talking about its engaging story line and some creative stuffs and all that, but i started HOC S01 just because of one person Kevin spacey. Honestly i have not finished this season yet i have spent six hours long way to go. What here i am writing is about Chapter one. Yes this is fairly long season thirteen episodes, for me eight more to eat and digest. I found chapter one sufficiently interesting to finish this season one. "i found" because i like to watch Political Drama cause it somewhat interesting and attractive as this show is about we like powerful people because somewhere we also want to be powerful in are our life. This is my line because it came in my mind after watching three episodes. I know it's funny. As Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) says "power is a lot like real estate. It's all about location, location, location. The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value. I have not believed it but i cannot ignore it completely, it looks fair to me that can think over it and try to find some sense in it. As i have enjoyed this episode let me try to write a quick review. Here Francis and Claire Underwood both hoping for a big year they have ahead. Twenty two in congress and as an effective majority whip Francis Underwood knows where the wind is blowing so i decided to support a man who became popular people's choice President elect of nation and there is always a promise which was Underwood as secretary of state. But as you know they do not keep their promise, Francis asked stay in congress and this change in circumstance affect Claire equally. Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) has running an organization expecting some private funds but not now. Thus Underwood's choice to plan their retribution. Francis decided to use any mean and Claire too. It seems enough for me talk about the plot at least for chapter one because if you knew full story before watching movie than what is the point of watching than. It is over. You are going ruin every minute of your watching period in thought that you that. Apart from Underwood's there are a number of interesting characters to follow in this episode, such as Doug Stamper played by Michael Kelly. He works for Francis Underwood as his right man. Zoe Barnes Washington herald reporter played by Kate Mara. Yes i have said that i started HOC S01 just because of one person Kevin spacey, that was the primary reason. I am moving on to next episode.
