Is House of Cards the best redpill example ever?

I'd say it's the best Machiavellianism example ever. But that's just one facet of TRP.

I don't know about her being a unicorn. She has her own problems; emotionally cheating with the photographer (although Frank does the same thing, I still wouldn't consider that unicorn worthy), betrays Frank by purposely asking the two congressman to fight against the Education bill, and had two abortions when she was young. Other than that, she would be unicorn-worthy: loyal (although not sexually), intelligent, assertive, submissive (only to Frank), and respects and allows Frank to be the leader.

I like Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan in House of Lies better for an example of Red Pill, mainly because hes not always 100% on. He picks and chooses his battles, and hes human. He fucks and gets fucked just like real life.

Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood is over the top. Its unrealistic. How On he is all the time, all the plot armor and deus ex machina, and to top it off hes not just dark triad, hes a bonafide fucking psychopath, to the extreme that he thinks nothing of murdering people for his own ends.

he's also a sociopath... I don't exactly think he's an example to look up to.

Any woman who looks that good while being 50+ (his wife) Must be a unicorn.

I'd say it's extreme. Anyone who spends that much time scheming cannot possibly be happy.

Marlo from The Wire is pretty red pill. He may have Frank beat.

I prefer the British house of cards. While the plot is very, very similar - the US one being modeled after it after all, I think the British one 8s a little bit more RP.

No it's not the best example because francis underwood is a superhuman psychopath. You can not follow his lead.

Frankly I don't understand the fascination so many here have with it. Yeah it's a great show. But it does not give you anything in terms of TRP.

Shows like rome or justified are way better.

I actually watched the first episode just yesterday. Spoilers in this thread probably ruined the whole show for me. Misogynic bastards!
