I’ve been watching the first part of the House of Cards trilogy on BBC4 this week. Having seen and enjoyed the second two parts of the trilogy previously, it is all starting to make more sense on being able to see the first part of the story.
It is a horribly wicked tale of hypocrisy and double dealing at the top of the political ladder. My own foray into politics a few years ago left me with a sense of surprise at how nice people in that world were to one another.
House of Cards is supposed to be dark political satire. I find myself unable to watch it without the thought at the back of my mind that it also makes pretty good ecclesiastical allegory too.
I enjoyed the first series most of all. And I agree.
You said trilogy. Weren’t there four episodes? Maybe there is another episode you still need to see.
No, in this case I can count. (I’ve a degree in sums after all). It is a trilogy. The first section of the trilogy comes in four episodes.
The other bits of the trilogy were To Play the King and Final Cut, each in multiple episodes.
Oh I see. Right. Sort of like the question as to whether there are four books of Kings in the OT. Got it.
Or even a bit like your Isaiahs.
Could your many prophets, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
