YASSS Queen: Day Ten


So after finally finished House of Cards - Season 5, after appearing on Netflix, May 30, I think I did well dealing with the fifth and possibly final outing for the US political drama.

Now you may wonder why I am talking about House of Cards whilst it's YASS Queen month, two words: Robin Wright.

Now slight or major Spoiler Alert: Robin Wright owns season five and at the very end... Wait for it, don't read another word, you've been warned. She becomes President Underwood, following another president Underwood.

She was ruthless, stellar and honestly she is one of Netflix's biggest and brightest stars. Yes Kevin Spacey is calculated and full on, but Robin Wright has always been brilliant in this series.

I will bang on a bit about TV this week as the series which Australian women actresses have been waiting for Wentworth comes to a close for it's fifth chapter. Unlike House of Cards, Wentworth has kept us on the edge our seats week in, week out. House of Cards however this season was very slow paced and aside from Wright and the brilliant return of Neve Campbell to TV, this was a bit of a tough watch.

Don't get me wrong House of Cards has become a cult TV hit and for Netflix it has meant big numbers, both streams of the series and new members and that is what the streaming game is all about, more members, look at Foxtel trying to be fancy and rebranding the same old shit with a new coat of paint.

House of Cards and Wonder Woman showcases how truly fabulous Robin Wright is, please if they make a second solo Wonder Woman film, allow her more screen time, please!

House of Cards streams on Netflix now and Wonder Woman is still on the big screen NOW!
