I admit that if I liked the show more maybe the talking to the camera wouldn't bother me.
House Of Cards (Netflix)

did you get through all of season one? It slows down mid season one but picks up steam around episode 9

That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
I liked the first season. It lost me by the end of the second episode of the second season. My suspension of disbelief can only go so far in some situations.
I think his role will expand over time and he played a key role in disposing of the reporter. hes a threat so he has his part.
I cant believe Doug is dead!
I didnt get that at all. There are some stereotypes I suppose but were they unrealistic? Did the actor throw a fit that he was playing an indian or a black guy? you make it sound like its the most racist stereotypical show youve ever seen.
Anyway, just watched the final two episodes last night. What a great show, cant wait for season 3!!

completely random, but I just watching the beginning of Unbreakable and the doctor at the beginning who's asking Bruce Willis how he survived was Underwood's second in command the first two seasons of Cards.
that is all.
that is all.

Demographically significant
Is this question really your defining boundary line that separates insulting stereotypes perpetuated by the entertainment industry?
Seemed to me the casting has been done very well and very believable to this point. Stereotypes are only insulting if you let them be. I prefer to embrace mine since they are pretty damn true.
heard they showed this at the award show last night. doing my best to avoid the trailer. Stoked! Feb 27th is getting close.

Me too. I don't even want to watch the trailer. I even try to avoid trailers for movies as I want to form my own opinion on them before I watch.

Wow no one has talked about it yet? I just finally finished season 3 tonight.
I'll post more about it when at a computer

major spoilers below.
so season three wasn't as adrenalin pumping as season two but I still enjoyed it. I don't see how the series can really continue unless in season 4 it is all about franks demise. He wont get anywhere without clare IMO. Doug could have killed the hooker in episode one, it was a bit anticlimactic by the time it got there.
IMO Season 2 was easily the high point, this one didn't blow me away but was still entertaining TV. I liked the underwoods as a strong evil bond, with them falling apart it becomes less interesting.

season 3 was truly awful, IMO. Predictable, lazy, went completely away from made the show really good S1 and at least watchable S2... which had the Underwoods playing VILLAINS. This season was like watching a kind of evil/dumbed down version of the West Wing.
And from episode 3, I knew EXACTLY how the season was going to end... literally calling the last line of the finale 7 episodes ahead of time. That's bad.

season 2 was my favorite
I am surprised this thread is so small considering how active our political board is.
I enjoyed season 3 still but I agree it was nowhere near as good as the first two.

This was a snoozer of a season. The previous years it was watching him out fox people, murder people and scheme in his effort to get into the White House. This year... watch a full season of impotent efforts to get a bill passed!
The only compelling character in the entire season was fake Putin.
I'll watch next year in the hopes it gets better, but I feel like this season was a waste, the "dramatic conclusion" that I'm sure is coming should have been season 3.

And Claire totally should have killed herself in the finale. THAT would have been an ending, and more in tune with what triggered her urge to break off from Frank. I would be a lot more intrigued going into next year wondering how he was going to spin his wife dying in the White House, than his presumed feud with her.
Oh, of all the unbelievable things to happen on the show, a young, female and totally inexperienced Solicitor General making a legit threat to a sitting president for their party's nomination has to be the silliest.

The issue for me is not knowing for whom to cheer at this point. Taking Underwood from antihero to villain is interesting, but there should be another hero we're cheering for--even if it's a minor character. They had it with Peter Russo in season 1, and even with Zoe Barnes, but not so much since.
Maybe Claire Underwood will become that "antagonist" the show needs?
thats what my wife thinks
that claire will run against frank but I dont see that working in any way. Im hoping they mend fences and return to season 2 form.

my bigger problem with the show is that Underwood WAS the villain in the show and they seemingly made him the "hero" in Season 3 and it was snooze city. Next season is definitely set up for a War within the White House.
OK, just started watching this. Based on the comments I was expecting more?!? Granted I am not through the entire 1st season but I am having a hard time getting motivated to finish with all my other stuff on my DVR I have not watched.
toward mid-late season one it explodes. stick with it!
