When we look back on Community, after all six seasons and that movies are finally finished, which Community will we remember most? The series has reinvented itself many times over, due to studio meddling and behind the scenes drama. Now, with Glover and Chase non-factors, the creative team locked in, and cancellation not likely in the wake of NBC’s horrible year, the series has an opportunity to develop its remaining characters. “Bondage and Beta Male Sexuality” restates some important character beats that have been ignored for a long while, and even more importantly, returns to a tone we’ve not seen on Community in some time.

The worst thing you can do with Amazon’s first original series, which is now available in its entirety on the site, is treat Alpha House like some sort of House of Cards clone. Whereas House of Cards is deception and ambition told on a Shakespearean level of extreme drama, Alpha House opts to depict the inner workings of the Washington political machine with a much different perspective.
