Just finished episode 13. This is nothing short of a home run. Spacey is a virtual lock for the Emmy. Knowing there are only 2 seasons and seeing the tension built up to at the end of season 1, I'm definitely going to be counting the days to season 2.
I haven't seen a single bad review. Not even the major network competitors have the balls to call this show bad. Best description I've read is that it is a "bizarro evil version of The West Wing".
And I friggin love the "release all 13 episodes at once" idea. Love it.
