When did House of cards start getting terrible?

Season 1, Episode 1

I'd say right around the threesome scene was when I decided it was not good. I did finish that season tho.

last season.

>introduction of conway
>departure of remy + jackie
>no freddy
>claire as vp
>war on old japanese ps2 games
>surveillance parallels
>massive reduction in frank's audience rants

this season has still been more of a mess.

>>83431828
Season 3, Episode 1

>>83431828
Season 2

I gunned the rest of that season on 2x then that was it. Glad I didn't waste my time.

Urquhart would have never let this happen

best Mara and a train

>>83431828
When you decided, without a hint of irony, to vote for Donald Trump to become Commander in Chief. You absolute mad man.

>>83431828
When Claire poisoned Thomas Yates.

That singular moment killed the entire show.

Is that really how it ends? I might not even watch the rest of this season. Claire is so boring and terrible. She just holds the show back. They've been giving the actor who plays her too much power and influence over the show and she's trying to pull her muh wage gap feminism I should be equal bullshit. You can't force yourself to be equal to Frank. You just aren't as interesting.

Lame.

>>83432903
Some of us tried. We tried to get Bernie because we KNEW Hilldawg would lose. We still voted for her despite everything. But the fucking boonies fucked us once again and had to vote for Trump so they could let him fuck our country.

I didn't vote for this. House of Cards is nothing compared to real life someone please help.

Does she really become the showrunner in this season?
I only ever watched it for Kevin Spacey and every scene with her made me want him to kill her.

>>83431975
yeah i stopped watching then

>>83432993
Tom gets killed by Claire after they both tell each other they love each other and Tom rights a book with all the details of everything they've ever done.

Two literally who's advise Frank and Claire and act as some unseen phantom rulers and it's boring.

NSA guy gets killed and gives LeAnn some hacked stuff.

LeAnn and Doug fuck. Doug pretends to kill Zoe to get Frank off.

Claire becomes president.

All in all pretty boring.

>>83433030
Sooooo Frank is not the fucking main character anymore?

What? So is this the last season or something?

I'm on episode 10 of S5 and I'm really enjoying it. /tv/ is always so harsh on the show and I don't get why.

>>83433142
Frank's epic twist is that he was just pretending to be retarded the whole season. Alhough he actually was.

>>83433251

I don't get it, nothing about his behavior was retarded. Did you even watch the show? Are you memeing or something?

>>83431828
Great show but I can see how they're trying to twist it into our current state of affairs and that bores the fuck out of me.

Also Claires degeneracy in the white house really irks me and Yates is such a whiny cunt.

To be honest Claire is everything wrong with this show.

Claire is pretty awful but I'm surprised people don't like Tom.

Because he's not a power obsessed cunt and actually reads the human side of people? I dunno.

>When did House of cards start getting terrible?

When Frank became President

File: image.jpg (86KB, 540x540px) Image search: [Google]

86KB, 540x540px

So why does Frank give up his power as president?
It's the one fucking thing he cares about in life and the whole reason why he started his crusade from the beginning.

>>83433450
Because the writers do not know what they are doing and Robin Wright is pushing the gender equality angle too hard.

2>1>3>5>4

>>83433450
>>83433465
because they want to write their 'what if killary won' fantasy

my only hope is that claire turns out to be just the same as frank but more of a warmonger

>>83432946
>Is that really how it ends?
Yes it does.

>They've been giving the actor who plays her too much power and influence over the show and she's trying to pull her muh wage gap feminism I should be equal bullshit.

she is also directing the show and has been executive producer for the show. I have no fucking Idea why.

>>83433502
1 = 2 > 4 >>>> 3> 5

>>83431828
At this point I'm wondering how much last year's election affected the ending of this season. I feel that if Hillary had won there would be no way this season would have ended this way.

>>83433450

Frank never wanted to become Prez in the beginning, he was okay what he had, he just liked fucking with people/having some control over others.

>>83433508
>>83433553
>>83433603


This is just plain shit posting, you aren't even talking about the show, you keep bringing out outside elements, that you're convince are part of the show because you want them to be.

And Robin Wright has directed episodes in the past seasons as well. Why do guys hate women so much?

>>83433720
Robin please go, you ruined what made the show so interesting.

>>83431828

Can we have a HoC thread that doesn't have rampant sexism? it's killing the convos desu

>>83433720
are you kidding me? claire is a weakness in franks design, she is the one that constantly puts a spanner in the works

Can someone explain to me why did LeAnn contact her and asked her to find McCallan in Russia? Also, why did LeAnn keep behaving like she didn't know why McCallan left the country to get away from the Underwoods? She knew that he helped with illegal analysis of voter data and social media fraud, didn't she?

>>83433799
I wish, but the very genuine criticism of "Robin Wright is not Kevin Spacey" unfortunately gives cover to all the shithead conservicucks to shit on women.

That's the problem nowadays. Give even an inch and the bitter and malicious will take it to the extreme as if you agree with them. Every time.

>>83433599
I think the same happened with South Park last season.

So am I the only one having a difficult time following the plot?
Maybe I'm a retard but they keep bringing in characters and shit from last season that I don't remember and the characters are name dropping folks for 3 seasons ago that I sure as hell don't remember. I had to stop after 6 episodes because I was so lost.

>>83434024
You may be a little dumb for not being able to reason it out. But yeah it's a mess all over.

Also Jane Davis and Marsh are boring as all holy fuck.

2 years ago at least. I've been just watching it so I have something to talk about with my normie friends

I hate that this show is so popular and that I know absolutely no one outside of this board that watches The Americans

>>83431828
>it's OP doesn't realise the show is about Clintons being supervillains episode again

>>83433654
yep

Around season 2

>>83432946
What if she gets fucked next season? Would be worth a watch.

Why was getting Hammerschmidt refocused on Zoe's murder and blaming Doug for the murder even necessary? How does that help anything? Was all the other shit Frank implicated himself in to draw out the impeachment process not enough?

>>83433925
>>83433799
>>83433720

claire, is shit, i dont care about the actress, every step of the way she fucks up royally and it always has to do with her emotional state or her pride, it has nothing to do with sexism.

see the point of the show is that both frank and claire got where they are because of their power relationship.

but in the last 5 or so years that the series covers she has very clearly lost the plot and keeps trying to go off on her own or just fuckaround because she feels underappreciated or whatever, point is she knew what she was getting into and she's lucky she hasn't found herself pushed in front of a fucking train like the other people who fuck with frank

>>83433654
Season 2 wasn't that bad. Season 3 was the worse by far since Frank suddenly grew a conscience and it fucked him over.

3 and 4 were just total horseshit to watch and 5 is already being panned harder than iron fist.

>fire your wife if you want me to work with you

DROPPED. Officially became a soap opera.

robin wright was offered a producer and director role for whatever reason, and pretty much the entire series went to shit right after that.

The only interesting thing in season 5 was third camera-aware character.

>>83431828
This is what happens when you remake an already spotless British original show. Same thing happened with Life On Mars

Where did Davis come from? Some random lady that knows everyone in the world and that happened to have clearance to be in the bunker?

Frank's twist didn't come out well either, it barely made sense for the character.

>>83431828
So this is the final season right?

Why does it matter that an unlikable character is now in the driver's seat?

OFFICIAL CANON REVIEW OF SEASON 5: spoilers ahead

1. Very sloppy all around. I can't count the number of times the presidency was conceded, exchanged, and transferred.

2. The entire investigative journalism angle is shit. I knew this by deliberately skipping all the scenes concerning any journalism and by the final episode there wasn't a SINGLE part of that subplot directly affecting Clair or Frank.

3. The pseudo-Bohemian Grove episode was pointless and very poorly done. Frank basically walks around doing absolutely nothing and then gets a Deus Ex Machina to take Conway down. Absolute trash.

4. Conway's arc was wasted, but I liked how it showed him slowly cracking from PTSD as the presidency became more contested.

5. Claire's affair with the speechwriter went absolutely nowhere. Utterly pointless.

6. You can tell they based the large events predicting Hillary would win and then when filming the episodes had to switch a few plot points to account for the Trump presidency. Best example is Frank wanting to close borders to everyone randomly when it has no bearing on the story. It's just mentioned for half an episode and then never talked about again, but the broad points couldn't be changed (Claire being pres) so they just went with it.

7. Frank unnecessarily makes himself exposed to a new sex scandal with that young man when his character wouldn't do that at this point in time. The affair with Zoey was done because it was necessary and was more discreet. The president isn't gonna talk with his gay lover in broad daylight.

8. You can tell how the series will end based on the final scenes of this season. Frank gets angry that Claire won't pardon him and they destroy each other in the process. Doug probably kills Claire while Claire's new lady adviser will prob hire someone to kill Frank. Either way it'll end cause of internal divisions and not from any external forces.

Feel free to disagree. These were just some thoughts I came up with while working today.

>According to the production company behind "House of Cards," Media Rights Capital, it's not possible for Wright and Spacey to earn the same pay because Spacey is one of the founding producers of the show. Instead, Wright has been given an executive producer credit and opportunities to direct episodes.

I mean...what the fuck is wrong with this woman? she's in a really good tv-series, playing alongside kevin fucking spacey, and she whines so much that they give her a director role which she uses to fuck up the entire thing.

>>83434348

Because instead of just ending the show on a high point, it's gonna end up dragging out for a few more seasons before low ratings get it cancelled.

>>83434195
I dislike Claire because she's been objectively terrible whenever she's had power herself yet demands to fail upwards into ever-better positions.

This whole endeavor has been about Frank's political career, she's always been a support player yet feels like she's owed more despite having built nothing herself.

Frank articulated all of this during season three and the first part of season four, then gets struck by the deus ex vagina and does a 180, prostrating himself before Claire and acting like she puts the sun and moon in the sky--it was fucked.

Doug was my guy during this whole process, the person who saw this all happening and got rightfully pissed.

>>83434368
Complaining about equal pay in fields like entertainment is almost as idiotic as complaining about equal pay in professional sports. Obviously you're only worth as much as your star power brings to the table. Does this idiot think if Kevin Spacey co-starred in some movie next to Jennifer Lawrence, he'd be getting more money as well because he's a man?

>>83432920
Why do you think that?

>this fucking scene

Can this show GET any worse?

Season 6 better be the last season, theres no way this show can keep going

So Frank decided to slowly self-sabotage his own presidency and threaten sabotaging Claire's career to spook the magical mystery woman with a boner for Claire and make her set him up in the private sector, all because he slipped in the woods?

>>83434198

Was Tusk Frank's only enemy that wasn't a complete dummy for him to beat up like walker and conway?

I got bored with it at some point in season 3 when the gay dude killed himself in prison. Haven't picked it back up since.

After Frank got the presidency. It should've been a arc where Season 3 is him trying to maintain control while the scandals hit and season 4 should've been the last season where all his evil deeds came back to haunt him and it all comes tumbling down like a House of Cards

4 seasons at 13 episodes = 52 episodes. 52 cards in a deck

this show should have been 3 seasons max, now its just diluted with horrible b-plots. only thing in netflix's pipeline is altered carbon and they'll find a way to fuck that up. ever since marco polo bombed netflix is too scared to take chances on something that isn't a shitty 30 minute comedy or capeshit. stranger things will go the away of true detective and be a victim of its own popularity. /v/tards will say withcer tv series but we all know it will have lesser budget that iron fist and the characters will just ride horses to castles and town to talk and any monster action will be at beast 3 episodes.

>>83431828
when it didnt end with him being president

what position of power is higher?

is he going to become king of the earth? The show was good because it made progress, how can it progress when the characters have nothing to progress too?

>>83432953
Except you are wrong asshole. Bernie voters turned to Trump because they fucking hate Hillary you stupid asshole

>>83431828

>>83432288
Why did they have to do a whole 'frank is a racist who only thought of him as the help all along' bit? He's evil enough without fucking up the one humanising element

It's based on a British Series, right?

How did the British Series end?

Season 1 was great
Season 2 was good
Season 3 was dogshit
Season 4 was entertaining shlock
Season 5 was just horrible

>>83434795
Frank becomes PM -> Frank forces abdication of a King -> Frank goes too far and gets fucked somehow in way I can't remember

>>83434735
you can't have the rise without the fall, that's what made the original bong series a classic, but that of course will be dragged out another 3 years. gotta hit that 100 episodes so you can jew someone else for the syndication rights and today you have that for tv and streaming.

>>83434859
Wait, the King/Queen of England still has power? I thought it was just a ceremonial title and it just exists because the royal family owns a fuckload of land and is rich as fuck

>>83433654
The British House of Cards handled this well, he had to deal with a hostile monarch and eventually a conspiracy against him

Guess it doesn't really translate that well to the US political system

so why the fuck doesn't she pardon him ? it's """"""""her turn""""""""""" anyway, what did the poor old cuck do this time

>>83434895
>implying she won't

The first half of season 6 will be Claire basically making Frank her bitch and making him bend the knee (I'm the one in control now, not you) and basically it'll be Frank conspiring against his wife to bring her down too as well as himself

>>83434884
They have executive powers to finalize everything passed through Parliament. Many historical treaties and legal conditions in the Commonwealth actually rely on the Crown existing for them to be still binding.

>>83432903
House of Cards barely has anything resembling Trump or even Hillary though. Sure the Underwoods are obvious Clinton stand-ins but there was really nothing there that was some Trump stand in.

Conway was more Romney than anything.

>>83433388
I don't see it unless S6 is written by Louise Mensch, S5 so far is like if every single "This is how Trump can be stopped" fantasy came true at once

>>83434705
I suspect the original showrunner felt the same way. Look at his departure. I bet there was some stuff that went down behind the scenes. Netflix hardly ever cancel series, and he probably thought that the story was stretched too thin

>>83434421


Basically the real problem with House of Cards is it's actually two shows trapped in one.

The original idea was 'let's remake HoC the British series' but somewhere along the line they realised that 'strong female leads' are really trendy right now, so they've shoehorned Claire from a support into a lead, but then every once in awhile they remember the shoe is about Frank.

The real issue is that the writers don't want to write a show about Frank Underwood anymore, they're just obligated because that's what the fans want and it works better, they wish they could just make it about Claire.

Jesus look at her marriage history

"After breaking up and getting back together,[12] Wright and Penn married in 1996, and she changed her name to Robin Wright Penn.[13] Their on-and-off relationship seemingly ended in divorce plans, announced in December 2007,[13] but the divorce petition was withdrawn four months later at the couple's request.[14] In February 2009, Wright and Penn attended the 81st Academy Awards together, at which Penn won Best Actor. Penn filed for legal separation in April 2009,[15] but withdrew the petition in May.[16] On August 12, 2009, Wright filed for divorce declaring she had no plans to reconcile.[17][18] At that time she dropped "Penn" from her professional name.[19] The divorce was finalized on July 22, 2010.[20]
In February 2012, Wright began dating actor Ben Foster,[21] and their engagement was announced in January 2014.[22][23] The couple called off their engagement in November 2014,[24] but reunited in January 2015.[25] On August 29, 2015, they announced they were ending their second engagement."

I thought she was supposed to be an actor in HOC, not her usual self

>>83436290
i still don't why celebs marry each other. i can't even imagine the amount ego and self entitlement from years of being surrounded by people doing your bidding would be like in a regular household. im surprised marriages last longer than a few weeks.

For most celebrities, the only people who don't endlessly talk about how they're Captain Picard or the wizard from Harry Potter or the gay guy from Friends are other celebrities.

Also, people tend to date within their social circles.

Francis acts like a control freak, gradually pissing off all the powerful ministers around him

Francis' crimes get brought up, as well as a war crime he committed when he was a soldier
His wife and the MI5 chief assassinate him to preserve his legacy

>>83436250
Yeah. House of Cards really needs to be about Frank in a big way and a structured way. Rise/fight/fall. Maybe they could have had his fall and her rise and started anew but whatever they're doing now is just barely passable

This season should have been about Frank becoming a dictator after a failed coup d'etat orchestrated by the republican VP candidate.

It could translate just fine. The political events are almost irrelevant, it's a character drama. The events only exist to expose parts of the characters in different ways.

S1 and S2 were great the rest are pretty bad and im not even sure what they've been trying to do.

this was probably the most pointless season of anything i've ever seen.
they still find a way to drag out some election for half the season then frank resigns.
woah what a waste of my time.

The only good part from this season is they finally killed off the annoying writer also known as the most pointless character in television history.

>When did House of cards start getting terrible?
When NF realized it was their #1 original production by so huge a margin they couldn't allow it to end with 3 seasons.
So they decided to water it down and add dumb SJW bullshit for more pandering.
It's still going to end the same way, with Underwood getting shot in the head to save his legacy. They foreshadowed this in the very first scene with putting that dog out of its misery.

They'll invent a new one or something else for Frank to value enough that his wife would have Meechum kill him for.

I never got the vibe that Frank is racist.
He manipulates everyone, regardless of gender or race, to push his agenda.

In genuinely curious about why they insisted on making Frank a literal cuckold.
I understand the first 3some with Meechum. It cemented his loyalty and it was obviously a nod to the hedonistic Roman leader lifestyle.
But Tom basically being a live-in Bull in the white house is just fucking stupid

>>83439446

House of Cards' minor characters stories were never good but this season really took the biscuit

>>83438028

They do this every season, introduce people nobody cares about and then they disappear next season and you wondered why you cared

>>83437365
this

The assassination of Francis Urquhart worked because he was killed at the height of his political career just as the "house of cards" was starting to collapse

But now the house of cards has collapsed, so killing him does nothing

>>83439446
It's to show he doesn't care. he says himself sex is power and he already controls claire there's no point in having sex with her for any reason. but if she has needs he doesn't care either way how she gets it.

in a way it's a good thing since it adds more to the fact he has no weaknesses. he doesn't get jealous or angry and desires no one and can discard anyone at any time.

>>83440025
he'll probably kill claire. i hope she doesn't win with the gurl power bullshit.

>writers trying to convince us that politicians in house of cards actually like claire and support her as president and she wouldn't be implicated at all in the fact that her HUSBAND was knee-deep in this bullshit

Who the fuck were they trying to kid?

>>83440147
what about the fact they are implying people would vote for a husband and wife VP? especially with the article, all the controversy and them knee deep in bullshit and also obviously rigging the voting so they only need 1 state to win. despite the republican winning the election.

but the republican dude got mad once and he's finished. okay then. while the underwoods get away with literally everything the next episode. the show has become a feminism meme

>>83432946
>Is that really how it ends?
no because spacey said that if he would he could play frank for more than 10 seasons. you can check who produces the show and you can see it's kevin and jenny the fucking bitch

netflix will only stop the show when no one is watching it.

>>83440276
I agree with you entirely famalam but at least we never had to hear the voters explain why they were okay voting for frank and claire

Whereas we had a string of politicians give their reasons as to why they would support Claire over Frank, including that one woman who just straight up said "we need a woman president"

>>83440334
true. how many times did characters mention "well claire frank is finished but you can run in 4 years!"

she isn't even a fucking politician, she's cold as fuck with no charisma why would anyone like her? oh yeah they obviously wanted hillary to win when they made this season.

I thought they were going to war. What happens to that?

>>83439830
VEEP has been AMAZING these past two seasons. The show honestly gets better and better.

>>83434534
>theres no way this show can keep going
they will keep this show if people will still watch it. that's how netflix works. also it doesn't help the fact the show is cheap to make. most scenes are shot indoor in some warehouse. Money goes to mainly the cast and all the licensing that goes to cnn, apple to keep "realistic"

>>83431828
When Tom Yates showed up.

When Frank kissed that guy, it made me really angry and gave me a mild chub. This is just liberal brainwashing designed to exterminate the white race by turning normal men into faggots.
This is what happens when liberals are in control of the media.

>>83432981
kek

What about that new guy who advised the republican who apparently convinced republicans not to support their candidate and let frank win because of one leak?

where was he for the previous seasons?

>>83440454
nice bait

>>83440088
but claire craves sex like any real woman, so she must be a shit leader (and the bull craves the pleasures he gives to claire, so he is not good either)

>>83440454
Did nothing for me. I need to see BBC to get hard anymore. I love to see it rail white pussy

>>83440407
That was a make a distraction from the article and to portray themselves as "tough on terror" (despite their opponent being a fucking war veteran) to generate support

>>83440578
I find it hilarious that after jackie getting the bbc that new black guy from the herald has a black girlfriend. What the fuck netlfix, step it up, where is the white girlfriend?

>>83440546
What does that have to do with my post? Yes Claire and the writer are awful characters. Frank doesn't give a shit

The last episode reveal that Frank was the leak all along was fucking retarded. Biggest jump the shark moment so far.

>I'll leak all the horrible shit I've done, what a good idea!
>Actually makes a point to Claire that NOT being Pregnant will make him even more powerful
>Acts surprised at the very end when he figures out he has no power the moment he's stripped of the presidency

It was monumentally stupid. Frank Yas always been one step ahead if the game, but now suddenly is acting like the biggest moron in the show, and I just couldn't buy it. What makes it even worse is how obvious it was. I saw where it was headed from about half way through season 5 that Claire would somehow become president by the end of the season and fuck him over, and even at that I was pretty slow to realise it that late.

>>83440454
the gay storylines are forced by kevin "I'm gay and everyone knows it" spacey who is the producer on the show. He wants to have some fun on camera too.

>>83437607
He only cared about that towards the end because he got petty in old age
He fucked up the monarchy because he was bored and won a special election at the same time
And he did outlast her

>>83432761
Every female that even thought about betraying him got murdered pretty fast

>>83440628
His idea of being powerful has become...advising the president

You know... instead of being the president.

Makes no fucking sense. Raymond Tusk had that job, and he destroyed him, so he should know better than to think he can control politicians outside of the political sphere

Whole thing is stupid

>>83440628
what about the fact he trusted Claire enough to give her the presidency and have faith she would pardon him?

how dense is he? she has him completely by the balls now and there is nothing he can do. what the fuck is his master plan anyway? he says the private sector owns the presidency. nobody owned him when he was in the white house so what the fuck is he trying to accomplish?

>>83435530
I wish they did have a Trump character. One who is the only person that notices Underwood breaking the fourth wall and tweets about it
>Crazy Frank Underwood ranted about power again to the camera. Who is he talking to? Sad!
>Crazy Frank Underwood made a long metaphor comparing me to an insect. If he keeps acting so crazy he is going to get squished!
>Crazy Underwoods better keep their mouth shut or I will reveal the truth about their relationship with a certain bodyguard and writer!

This season made me feel really stupid. I know this isn't some high art with complicated themes or hidden philosophies, but we're they outright trying to confuse the shit out of the audience? I was lost halfway through.

Why is this old bag Patricia Clarkson at near supernatural levels of control? Who the fuck even is she? Did they seriously pull another "no Frank was planning it all along"?

New showrunners are shit.

I think you just answered your own question. That's thew level of imagination in the writer's room.

>>83439747
the trainer is dead though.

>>83440820
it's literally the final scene of the season, she says that and it ends. the show has become a meme of itself.

>wow we just so happen to have ANOTHER campaign ruining recording

I think they have one more season of this trash left.

I still like it

>>83440926

>she gets to be main character instead
I'm not sure if I want to finish this season. Does Frank give permission to this or does he get cucked hard?

>>83440904
That was the writer, unless I missed something. Frank ditched the trainer guy during a ride and the was the last I remember him.

>>83440933
Oh man, Conway said a bad word, his campaign is FINISHED!!!

Who cares if Underwood was corrupt and had witness testimony and evidence to prove it

Well, at least it's like real life

>>83441006
The trainer jumped the fence at the White House and got gunned down by Feds

>>83432306
This

>>83441006
No, it was the trainer.

That's the best they can do with wrapping up story threads. At least he didn't get pushed down the secret hidden spiral staircase of gay blowies.

>>83440995
Read the topic

He willingly gives up his presidency because "you can be more powerful in the private sector" so Claire becomes a corporate puppet in his place

>>83441039
Oh dang. I zoned out during the gay stuff and didn't recognize it was the same guy.

>you can be more powerful in the private sector
Alright now that seems like it's interesting, as long as they still focus more on Frank.

I managed to trudge through 9 episodes before giving up and just looking at the spoilers. Is it even worth finishing this shit?

>>83441097
>I LOVE YOU FRANCIS!

This bitch ruined a perfectly good show. Fuck. I still remember how good season 1 was. She never should've become a director/producer on the show. It all seriously went downhill from there on. That bitch turned Kevin Spacey into a background character and made herself the main lead.

So the monarch publicly lashing out at his PM is a crisis

That's what I think as well. The first season was really enjoyable in a pulpy way and still within the realm of some believably. The second season was just a bridge too far and it's gotten more ridiculous with each passing season.

Conway proved to be some unstable PTSD psycho.

>>83433030
remember when in S3 they shown claire as an unstable and weak bitch who couldn't even get appointed to the UN and then Robin became a producer and they scraped all that development and she literally became muh stronq womyn without flaws?
i love how no single cuck reviewer points that

The first crack happened way before Wright started fucking things up. The show was borderline believable before he became president because you could see a Senator and his staff going rogue. But as president, all the secret stuff was just ridiculous. Also all the useless sideplots and barely bearable relationship drama became worse after S2.

Can someone explain the whole research ship thing to me? What was the point? Did I miss something?

Probably around the time they dedicated an entire episode to promoting a mobile game.

>Conway mentions just needing to win Tennessee or Ohio to win, doesn't matter which
>three episodes later Frank's going on about how he reduced the election to one state- Ohio

I guess I misheard or something. Shit would have helped if they actually had shown the electoral map.

We enjoyed watching Frank Underwood as a guy who was plotting and scheming for his revenge. Once he was president it was basically everyone else scheming behind the scenes and we watch Underwood be reactive to everything.

Boring shit that is.

>>83431828
It honestly got terrible as soon as Robin Wright gained control. I don't dislike her personally, she is a good actress, but she is clearly a terrible producer and director. She blatantly manipulated the current political landscape to get more power over the show, and, unsurprisingly, it became really bad.

>>83433185

The worst thing about House of Cards was how it billed itself as an intellectual series, but really it was quite predictable. Frank Underwood is a calculating character in every way, and he's great, but the dramas between tertiary characters were so dull.
You can tell within seconds whether two side characters are going to sleep together or not is one example of this.
There were two many side quests also, just stick to the main plan ffs

>>83447858
She's a qt.

Fuck Frank for pushing her.

>>83448193
I loved it, he looked like an adult handling a stubborn child. Conway even tried to square up with him but he wasn't intimidated at all.

>>83440684
Frank is trying to ascend even further beyond the presidency and go full illuminati while still pulling Claire's strings. You can probably expect them to go full Deus Ex next season since Netflix doesn't seem to think that the show needs to end at some point and there's literally nowhere else for them to go. They've already got the majestic-12 shadow government agents in place with Mark Usher and Jane Doris.

It's Dragonball Z politics at this point. By Season 7 it'll be some Fast and Furious shit with Frank usually some super secret ultra-technology to try and take over the whole world.

Season 1 and 2 were kino.

Literally no point watching any of the other seasons.

>tfw to intelligent for monogamy

>>83432374
Frank completed his character arc in the first season when he murdered for power. That takes the character to his conclusion, when he becomes irredeemably evil. It was a solid, concise story and having shot their load they've just had a bunch of dicking around with no real direction or purpose since then. The show says nothing.

>>83449326
eh, debatable. it's obviously trying to mimic Frank's moment from the first season, but both of those frames are supposed to be emulating an actual camera from on-site of the inauguration. Plus they were back in real-time.

it's possible that Mark was having a moment in his own head, and it's a neat bit of foreshadowing for next season, but the moment isn't shown to us so he hasn't actually broken the fourth wall yet.
