It was a great start. We got to see how well-suited the actors were for their roles and how ambitious Spacey's character would be.

Very good introduction, the pacing isn't too slow; a problem with many other TV shows. I was interested from the introduction of this episode. Spacey was made for this role.

Slightly hard to follow if you aren't into the source material (my girlfriend found it very hard to watch) but the episode is a perfect introduction to Francis Underwood and his brewing ambition, which is almost a character unto itself. Masterfully directed by the unquestionable genius David Fincher, this pilot throws you head first into a series that is entertaining right from the get go.

My parents told that this show was a must watch, and after watching the first episode I can see why! Kevin Spacey makes this show awesome! He is a great actor and makes the show one you'll want to watch!

After I saw this first episode, I knew HOC was going to be an amazing show. Kevin Spacey is edgy and entertaining, and the supporting cast really rounds out the show well.
