American Political TV Shows

[Middle-aged Europe]

Although it's maybe increasingly unrealistic in its fluffiness and cheerfulness nowadays I'm still gonna vote for the West Wing.

It's spiritual opposite House of Cards got continuously worse until it totally jumped the shark, and most of that other shows were kind of lame (except maybe Veep, but I have never seen that one).

House of Cards was pretty absurd and cringy at times, but it was still absolutely captivating. That said I only got like two episodes into the final season.

House of Cards's final season was an abomination. At times I wasn't really sure anymore what the season was even supposed to be about, but the general gist seemed to be that Claire Underwood - now the first female president - was executing some grand master plan to take revenge against the male gender (or at the very least male politicians in general). And in the end she succeeds, full stop!

For the most part it left me confused. Was this season an attempt to troll the Incel movement on purpose? Was it supposed to be some sort of Handmaid's Tale-in-reverse scenario? Or were they simply completely stoned writing the scripts? I guess it does pay off to watch it at least once just so you can see that trainwreck unfold for yourself...
