A welcome distraction for House of Cards fans: Frank and Claire Underwood are back in season five of Netflix’s House of Cards, which dropped yesterday on Netflix. The New York Times has What to Remember Before Watching ‘House of Cards’ Season 5 and a nice profile of lead actor Kevin Spacey, while Vox really isn’t sure how the series is sitting with it in season five, asking, “Is House of Cards the most irresponsible show on television, or is it just really, really dumb? Can the answer be ‘both’?” Season five has yet to appear on the Egyptian edition of Netflix.
