“It’s sort of silly to compare the two,” Spacey said of his Netflix series. “They’re both a little bit unpredictable in that audiences have no idea where we’re gonna go and what we’re gonna do, and I think that’s part of the enjoyment that an audience has — they don’t really know.”
“And in the real world, I mean now it’s becoming a little bit more predictable, what’s going to happen,” he continued. “At the same time, I happen to believe that we get what we deserve.” (VIDEO: Kevin Spacey’s Jimmy Stewart Impression Made This Woman Cry)
Spacey added that he doesn’t think entertainment and politics should mix.
“Edward R. Murrow warned us in 1964 that when news divisions decide that the news has to make money, and has to get ratings, it’s no longer news—it’s entertainment,” he said.
“So if people are bothered by the fact that we seem to be having entertainment as news, it’s because the news divisions decided that money and ratings were more important than reporting.” (RELATED: Netflix Just Put Season 3 Of ‘House Of Cards’ Up Ridiculously Early)
