How to fix the Kevin Spacey "House of Cards" problem.

[yallerdawg]

Anyone who watched the original British "trilogy" knows exactly how to do it.

Should I reveal more?

"You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment."

[Squinch]

1. Don't reveal it. Just anyone who hasn't seen the British version, go now and watch it.

Wasn't it fabulous?

[hlthe2b]

2. Oh, my.... Now I have something to binge on soon! I love British tv but haven't seen it

[Squinch]

3. I do too! Have you discovered Scandinavian TV yet?

[hlthe2b]

6. after watching the US versions of The Killing and The Bridge, I plan to check out the Scandinavian

originals. Have some others to suggest?

[Squinch]

19. The Danish/Swedish version of The Bridge was really, really good. It was the one that everyone

else has copied.

Borgen is another great series. And "Trapped" from Iceland last year was amazing.

I liked Fortitude a lot, but it didn't get terrific reviews.

[hlthe2b]

22. will check them out! thanks!

[Squinch]

23. Let me know how you like them!

[Kaleva]

28. Codename Coq Rouge is very good.

7. Try "Norsemen" on Netflix ("Game of Thrones" meets Monty Python).

And "Trollhunter." It's a movie - weirdly hilarious in that dry Scandinavian way.

[Squinch]

20. I will. Love that sense of humor. Thank you!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I haven't seen the British version, but I assume the way to solve the problem

would be for the writers to kill Frank Underwood.

5. Spoiler alert

He was assassinated. Claire was behind it.

9. exactly, you don't need to have seen the british version to think of the obvious hollywood solution.

[Ilsa]

8. I saw the Brit version.

I wish friends of the young reporter he threw onto the Metro tracks would do it.

[unblock]

10. haha, i wonder if the actress who played her british counterpart is available

[Ilsa]

12. She'd be gray like me! LOL.

[unblock]

14. what, assassins can't have gray hair?

[Ilsa]

15. Sure, but I wonder if she can get off a

Clean shot with cataracts!

[unblock]

17. There must be 50 ways ....

21. She was a little creepy though, don't you think? That whole "Daddy" thing?

[Ilsa]

25. Oh yeah. I hated the Daddy nickname.

Incestuous.

11. Until production came to a screeching halt, I thought that's where the narrative was heading.

"It's my turn."

[unblock]

13. yeah timing's a bit off for that.

it might have worked out perfectly a couple episodes ago.

but i'm sure the writers could figure it out.

frankly (pun intended), i think the series would be fine without spacey, i think claire is nicely set up to be at least as diabolical.

[sarge43]

16. Agree. Frankly, he's become boring

He's just feral now. Claire seems still capable of self awareness and control. A good character has to have some internal conflict; otherwise they're merely predictable.

I hope the producers and writers figure out a way to work around Frank.

[sl8]

18. "Frankly"? Really?

I just don't know what we're going to do with you.

[sarge43]

24. Hey, it was moving slow and low; I had to take the shot. n/t

[Bleacher Creature]

26. But wouldn't you have to bring him back for at least an episode?

Seems like a bit of a leap, or at least an awkward situation.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Talk about an aptly named TV show!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

31. Yeah. What a clusterfuck.

How many projects did he have "in the can"?

The producers just eat the investments?
