I watched it for a while, but the story is so improbable and ridiculous that I've stopped watching. The original House of Cards (UK) is still available on Netflix streaming and is wonderful, even though it's only a trilogy. Great acting. If anyone wants to watch a great political series that ran many seasons, The West Wing is also available streaming. No deliberate murders, though.

The accident happened in a narrow express lane that's being faulted for having no shoulder, just concrete barrier on both sides. It's a toll lane that many choose because it potentially expedites their drive, allowing avoidance of the main highway lanes. I have hated those lanes since they first began installing them in this area a number of years ago. I am absolutely not "blaming" those who drove there yesterday, but I have to think the lane they were in was a death trap based on its very design. I've only driven in such a lane once and only until I could make a quick exit. It was so unnerving, like driving in a luge track or something, with vehicles barreling down on me from behind at close to 80mph. Horrifying.

Binged "Emily In Paris" last night. I love that show. Perfect TV IMHO, because it is just as good with the sound off as on. So much eye candy, which is one really good reason to watch TV/movies IMHO. If it's just ho hum gritty dreary everyday life, it had better be a pretty engaging/uplifting plot or witty dialog for me to want to bother with it! :) The two things I like about EIP is that they actually show her doing real(ish) work and doing it well. Problem solving. I dislike work themed TV shows where the work is largely irrelevant, as if that were possible IRL. I also just ADORE the fashions. Made me feel seriously bad about letting myself go, although in my line of work, doing a lot of outdoor field work, I could not pull off most of those outfits to wear, considering the situations where I would be wearing them would be very few and very far between. If I could even FIND or fit into such outfits. But I would like to up my wardrobe game, that has been on my "to do" list for a long while, but I seem to have trouble finding clothes that fit me and work with what I already have and that I can afford. Even little tweaks sometimes take me months to realize. For example, I have a skirt I just love but have been searching for years to find the right top that goes with it. I "grew out of" the ones I used to wear with it. I also like how the show "Emily In Paris" is slightly "meta" meaning they at least acknowledge some of the unreality of the setting, even if just to poke fun of it . . .
