Reviews:
Season 4 Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
- I like House of Cards, but the first season has been the strongest. The
show didn't know what to do with Frank once he became President, and
season three felt stagnant with Frank pushing a bill that will leave a
lasting legacy, AmWorks. He appoints and then later dismisses his wife
as an ambassador. Season three ended with Claire deciding she will leave
Frank.
Season four is a return to form, regaining the momentum lost in season three as Frank campaigns for the presidential nomination. This season doesn't slow down and the Republican candidate Will Conway (Joel Kinnamon) is a great foil for Frank. Frank deals with an assassination attempt and picking a running mate while trying to gain ground in the polls. I never tire of seeing Frank manipulate someone into doing exactly what he wants. He and Claire form a formidable team that are willing to go one step farther than anyone else.
Season 5 Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
- I love House of Cards, though this season wasn't all I had hoped
it to be. It's not the worst season, that would be the third, and I
liked season four a bit
better overall than the fifth. This season's ends with a big shocker. I
just wish the whole season had been on that
level, and that the big reveal had been alluded to earlier. It appears
out of nowhere, but this has never been a subtle show. Frank Underwood
is power hungry and ruthless. That is the essence of the show, watching a
true villain get to the top.
This season lacks a foundation in actual politics. So much of this season is theoretical what-if scenarios. The show is at it's best when it pulls back the curtain on the political machine and reveals a fictional would of back-stabbers and black mailers. Much of this season is Frank taunting his opponents and viewers.
