usually these make for my favourite characters.

Sort of like the David Fincher version of Suits. After you've seen the first season, you've seen the whole series and it never goes anywhere; the characters just manipulate each other in the same tired ways and never develop. At a certain point, it's like TV is about trying to see how many more episodes they can make instead of telling a good story.

I have a really hard time getting into dramas, because most of the gratification comes from the overarching story, and if that doesn't play out in a satisfying way, it kind of ruins the whole series. Like with Suits, or Dexter, or Lost, or House. At least with comedy if the end of the show sucks you can just ignore it because the episodes prior to it tell complete stories and are instantaneously gratifying.

I'm tired of being disappointed by TV.
You should try watching the BBC original with Ian Richardson. I've not seen the US one but I loved all three parts of the original.

I tried watching the original and I just can't. The US one is just more relatable since I know the political system here better and in depth.

Uhg, it's bad enough that I only understand 50% of U.S. politics; if I watch the British one I'll understand 20% of what's going on.

was never huge into house of cards either. got through the first season and enjoyed it enough I guess but never had the urge to keep up with it.

I will say I would put suits in that "comedy" tv show grouping where I enjoy watching it without really giving a shit about an overall story. its the same rehashed stuff from season to season but I can put any episode on really and dig it for what it is

I watched the first season a while back and I got into the 2nd season last night and god damn this show is good. Easily in my top 5 favorites.
