WASHINGTON — Buried under feet of snow, Boston residents are begging for the essentials: bread, milk, eggs and “House of Cards.”
In an open letter to Netflix published in The Boston Globe, Boston resident Kat Gonso pleaded with the streaming TV website to provide an early release of the political drama’s third season set to premiere Feb. 27.
“We, the people of Boston, urge you to release the third season of ‘House of Cards’ one week early,” Gonso wrote. “We need this.”
Boston has received record-breaking snowfall this month, crippling the city and canceling schools.
“We’re in our pajamas. We’ve been in them for days, making sock puppets and shoving crayons and Twinkies at our children; we are convinced they are never going to back to school,” Gonso wrote.
She says “House of Cards” — which is primarily set in D.C. and filmed in the Baltimore area — is the glimmer of hope Bostonians need.
“We urge you to give us Frank. We need to see him break the fourth wall, to turn to us and remind us that there is life beyond the couch. Give us an out. A way through.”
Many are using social media to echo the request:
Dear Mother Nature, We just finished FRIENDS, so no more snow until #HouseOfCards comes back, okay? Okay. Love, The Entire City of Boston
