Well I was enjoying it....

You make good points all around. Even still I hadn't watched since season 2 dropped, so I had forgotten some of the nuance that you obviously didn't.

I still think it's a good show. Not as good as it could or should be but still worth the watch.

Claire walking out makes no sense. They have spent their whole lives calculating to get to this point in power and you just walk away? Without a real good reason. You just don't feel it anymore? This is what happens when you let the actors direct and control the show.

Loved seasons 1 & 2, but this one just seemed like they rushed it through production. I still like the characters, but the story lines in season 3 were just all over the place. People love ruthless Frank and Claire, not the dramatic couples therapy crap we were given, especially the last few episodes. Terrible ending, though I did like Stamper finally putting Rachel in the ground.

I suppose the one good thing is that they can really take it in any direction they want for Season 4. Hopefully they'll take their time and get back to what worked so well in the first 2 season.

Either Frank figures out a way to keep Claire from leaving, or season 4 is just going to be the total dismantling of his legacy. He'll probably be in jail by the end.

He strikes me as the type who would eat a bullet before going to jail.

I predict Frank does something illegal, surprise. But this time actually gets caught and impeached. Show over.

My prediction is that it comes full circle and somehow it gets proven that he killed Zoe and possibly Peter. I think he goes to jail for murder, among other things.

I like the take on the sex. I originally thought, after he didn't rough **** her, that it was about his homosexuality. Rather, it was what he wouldn't do for her that she did for him.

Yeah, I didn't really get that. I found myself wondering if I missed an episode where he really screwed her over or something. He gave her most of what she wanted, and she's obviously smart enough to realize political realities when something may have to happen that she doesn't like. For her to just leave is not consistent with her character at all.

I did like the Putin-esque Russian president.
And the Stamper story was decent when we weren't sure who side he was on.

Putin made him dump her as the UN ambassador. That's supposed to be the big slight.

I thought she seemed to understand the situation. Maybe I misread it.
"Putin" sure was a dick. His line that Frank should bring Claire along because there were lots of artists around was pretty funny.

This was my least favorite season yet. The first two were incredible, so my expectations were crazy high for season 3. It was still enjoyable, but a bit of a let down overall.

From that link, one of the questions is answered, "If there is a subsequent season..."

If? This thing isn't already set for another season?

Baby Lee--this is your department. What is the status?

I laughed. Stacey's response was classic.

Yeah, they have to close this thing out. You can't leave it open ended on so many levels. Season 4 has the potential to be epic, if they take the time to manage the characters properly.

Binge watching seasons 1-3.

Pretty ready for season 4.

Binge watching will commence this evening.

I didn't know this dropped tonight? Binge watching this weekend

We plowed four episodes. Would again.

My god...Could there possibly be anymore liberal gun grabbing propaganda bullshit in this season??? ridiculous. TONS of subliminal messaging in this season so far. Hell they even portray what seems to be their version of a young donald trump as the opposing candidate, or at least there are some parallels there. They even slip the name Trump a couple times into the season.

I was hoping this series wouldn't come to this....but hollywood/cia/white house couldn't resist turning this series into a govt propaganda machine. I guess this series is a carbon copy of the Clinton administration and Hillary is campaigning in an election year for potus.

I like the series..like Spacey's acting a lot always have. Robin Wright is a milf and Neve Campbell looks milfy too. Never thought she was good looking but she looks great in this series considering I haven't seen her in anything since Scream in the 90's. There's a Kate Mara cameo (dream flashback sequence) and she is really ****ing sexy. GREAT body. Overall great season...but man...the gun grabbing bullshit. Come...the ****....on. I mean there are A LOT of parallels in this series and they did that on purpose.

Parallels in House of Cards to real events in American politics over the last 40 years? Are you shitting me? Mind blown. Gonna need to take a break to process this. Whoa.

Finished it up today. I thought it was a way better season than last season.

Yo Yo Yo!
so this guy at work keeps telling me I need to check this out.
I keep telling him I don't like political shit.
he keeps telling me that he doesn't either but he REALLY digs this show.

is he right? can a political intrigue hater dig this thing?

Season four was a complete redemption of season three. Badass ending.

I hope we are going to get two points of view next season.

Is there better television available anywhere today than this? If so, what is it? I loved season 4..!

Well, that completely made up for Season Three.

That seems to be the consensus opinion. Season 4 may be the best season since the first season.

I'm only 3 episodes in but this thing is going Homeland season 2 on me. The writing seems really bad to this point. I'll keep trucking with it though.

Finished up season 4 and have likely lost all interest in any remaining seasons. I thought the writing was laughably bad. It also appeared to me that a few scenes were filmed at separate times. Like a couple of conversations with Frank and Claire where they didn't appear to be on set at the same time when the scene was filmed. This season was like Madam Secretary meets Knots Landing to me.

Sorry if there's another thread and I missed it - but I have a feeling Season Five is going to be the best yet. The trailer is awesome, and the cast has made claims that it's the best work they've done.

If you've watched the trailer...

Interesting that Frank loses his home state of South Carolina...also that the EC map in the trailer shows that Conway needs to win BOTH Ohio and Pennsylvania to win the Presidency.

Not that THAT was ever happening...

I made it halfway through season 3 before giving up. The writing and story lines got way too absurd for me. I did love Spacey's acting though. Not enough to continue, however.

I have to admit that they are going a bit overboard. However, I can't help but watch. Looks like season 5 will be available at 02:00 central tonight.

That's about when I crapped out as well. Zero interest now.

Binge watched the entire 5th season today. What the **** is going on? It's turned into a giant cluster****.

Season 3 was a struggle to get through. Season 4 was more on par with 1 and 2. Looking forward to starting 5 this weekend.

Lots of parallels on whats currently happening in politics today.

Underwoods are practically the Clintons.

Just finished season 5 today. I personally loved it. Season 6 should be epic

Frank has had a sexual interest in men since Season 1. He had a threesome with a dude in Season 2.

The show has really gone in a shit direction, IMO. It's like they're just trying to cater to the feminists and SJW's now since Frank was such a hardass when it came to women.

:(

I felt like season five took forever to get where it was going and stopped in too many uninteresting places along the way.

I got bored with it the first few episodes of Season 1.

Season 3 was in the pooper.
Season 4 seemed to rescue it from the toilet.
Season 5 seems to be hollering for someone to shut off the water main and asking for a plunger asap.

it was better than season 3

It might have been, I have essentially purged 3 from my memory. I just know I thought 4 really righted the ship. 5 felt like the whole season was a long setup and left off rather ho-hum.

While I enjoyed some of the twists of the season it still just felt flat at the end.

Anyone watched the new season?
Posted via Mobile Device

Yep.

Sucked.

I really wish Netflix would have had the courage to end it with Doug assassinating Frank at the end of Season 4 and Claire taking over. She even could have stared at the camera and pounded the desk to end it.

Seasons 5 and 6 were travesties

Not a chance.

Watched the first episode and it was terrible. I’ll likely finish it at some point but, I’m in no hurry for it.

I never watched any of this. I am so sick of political BS coming at me from all directions, I'm not gonna watch a show about it .... unless it's like Game of Thrones and people get their heads (or worse) chopped off.

Agreed. Was watching Daredevil the other night and it was very clear they were trying to draw parallels between Kingpin and Trump. Just stay the **** out of my entertainment! If I want this shit I will watch CNN or Fox News!!!

Art isn’t going to stop imitating life.

And visa versa

wow, I never picked up on the Fisk is Trump analogy. Your reading into shit that ain’t there.

I watched it all because I was doing something else while watching. It was a pale imitation of the first couple of seasons. Don’t waste your time with this season.

Is this the last season of HoC?

I mean they pretty much killed off everyone that mattered on that show.

Robin Wright as POTUS doesn't make the show interesting....unless she gets naked.

ummmm - try again:

“I know that most of you find this difficult to accept. That’s only because you’ve been manipulated, poisoned into believing the news media’s fake story that I am evil, that I am a criminal. Quite the opposite is true. Because I challenge the system, because I’ve told the truth and tried to make this city a better place, the people in power decided to tear me down. To tear me down with false allegations. They sent someone to frame me. Daredevil. The killer who’s now showing his true colors, who has tried to murder people in newspaper offices and churches, attacking our sacred institutions. Believe me. Daredevil is our true public enemy.”

Did anyone pick up on “the Underwoods are the Clinton’s?”

You won't like the end of the final episode.

First season was pretty good, IMO. The second season lost us in the first episode where Frank pushes the reporter in front of the subway train. Just totally unrealistic that the Clintons would do anything like that themselves.

LMAO

:rolleyes:Oh, did I say Clintons? I meant Underwoods...

Really enjoyed this series with Spacey. I thought about skipping the final season without him. I decided to watch it and I actually thought it was decent until the final episode. Most TV series don't know how to end well. HOC was no exception.
