Dunno if it was *prescient*. Other than saying presidents are cunts. That's more postscient.
Underwood was a political-insider dem who instituted a federal jobs programme on taking office. Which is kinda the polar opposite of Trump.
Good show though. Until it went to shit. I remember the 90s British one being better but it's been a *very* long time since I've seen it.
Prescient in showing "a ruthless politician seeking revenge." Not prescient in failing to predict what has occurred, but IMO a fairly accurate reflection of the kinds and level of corruption that facilitated it, all tied up in a bow.
I dunno, I think he better fits Clinton.
Watching the first Villeneuve Dune now. What Drew said in the first post. Some of the battle scenes are epic, but the whole thing thus far is pretty meh, out of the same old Star Wars/Blade Runner/LOTR script and fx machinery. The gimongous, minecrafty spaceships are boring AF. Doesn't really hold a candle to the Lynch version for sheer entertainment.
