House Of Cards Season 5 Trailer released:

I’M SO EXCITED

Beyond the electoral map, the trailer looks very ridiculous.

That's the entertainment value of the show. It's not a coincidence that the show's most disliked season is the third, which featured regular, failed, and dull attempts at some kind of domestic drama. "House of Cards" is at its best when it's at its most over-the-top. It's melodrama, but consciously political in nature — different from how something like "Scandal" is a soap opera that just happens to take place in Washington.

Do i offend people if i say i like the British version more than this American version.

Both are pretty bad shows anchored by an amusing performance of the starring role. I suppose the American version looks nicer.

Sure, but the British show knows it's bad, and has fun with that. It's not pretending to be DEEP.

Is it legally allowed that the wife of the president is also the VP to be.

Technically. The current laws only prohibit a president from directly nominating a relative to a position. But in the show, the *convention* was the one that pushed for Claire, and ended up nominating her. Sure, the Underwoods are depicted as pushing for that outcome in private, but I don't recall them ever publicly endorsing it.

You mean the law prevent only relatives to a position, does this only go for blood relatives ore also to non blood relatives like wife ore son/daughter in law.

Not sure. I would assume the latter.
