I both like & dislike HOC. The acting, pacing, and narrative is compelling. However it is difficult to watch people be so devious scene after scene. One thing to understand clearly here is this show does have levels of propaganda in it & is in fact fiction. That being said, as a political commentary on US government, the behind the scenes underhandedness at play does seem reflective of the times. In truth I suspect things are far worse in our government than this show portrays. But like this show we know that really there are no "good" guys or "bad" guys. Democrats & Republicans are mutually nefarious. The problem with a show like this though is we become distracted trying to search for clues as to how " things really are" in our current political climate, when really there is an unseen hand directing not only this show, but our Great show called American Democracy. I recommend this but suggest it not be taken too seriously.
