Between the wide aspect ratio and the scrolling credits, it's clear that this show's goals are loftier than just television. It's a skillfully made episode, especially for an opener. And when you need an actor to play the wronged (read: vengeful) career politician, Kevin Spacey is your go-to, there is no question; the rage just simmers underneath, man.
With how Netflix has redefined TV schedules, there's a relaxed pacing to this that kinda surprised me. But it's got the attention-getters where they count and ends on just the right note of menace.
Frank Underwood is not to be trifled with.
7/10
