In the way that TV shows about politics go to Iowa, it’s caucusin’ time for Netflix’s “House of Cards”. Check the flags at the 16-18 second mark of the trailer embedded in this story.
The show got Oelwein High School’s sports nickname wrong, although possibly intentionally so to avoid issues. If anyone sees any other specific towns mentioned, let me know.
(Note: I have not actually watched this show, and have been informed about the goings-on that I’m sure everyone who DOES watch has already binged on by the time this post goes live. This Washington Post column reprinted on the Chicago Tribune‘s website doesn’t make me inclined, either.)
This note and recent Iowa-related Marvel pieces have been added to my “Iowa references” page, and no I am still not over finding out what they did to Clutier I MEAN, NAZIS, SERIOUSLY. I hate fictional Iowa Nazis.
