Any hope to season 4 being better than the gaping black hole of nothing that was season 3?

>2 years ago
>Any hope to season 3 being better than the gaping black hole of nothing that the second half of season 2?
>It was even worse

What do you think?

The vice president dropping out and going to one rally to become governor again is unrealistic. Season three should've been like an election season where FU has to debate his way in. A lot of creative writing and oh shit moments wouldve been better IMO.
>>
nigga I'm still at the beginning of season 2

>>66641945

No season 2 and 3 were horrible and Im done with this series. I cant imagine what edgy thing they make Frank do at the start of the first episode.

Hes probably going to be taking a shit while looking into the camera and making some speech about how the political process is like squeezing out a giant turd. Then when hes done, hes going to wipe his ass with the american flag.

>going to a season 4 thread when you haven't watched all seasons yet

Walker resigns and Frank becomes President
Rachel dies
Clare leaves Frank

now fuck off
>>
>>66641945
>FU

Edgy.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be awful but I'm still going to enjoy every minute of it.
>>
>>66641945

That depends, if they focus more on the Election than the Frank/Claire drama it could be great, but the trailer gives me the exact opposite impression.
>>
RUSSSOOOOO
>>
>>66642045

Hey, a LOT happened in the second season.

The third, they mostly twiddled their thumbs and wasted time on a Russian subplot that went nowhere.
>>
>>66642046

Oh, come on, the way Frank seized the presidency was incredible! The fact that he was willing to double-cross and backstab the sitting president, and that he was willing to endanger the lives of millions of people to make the president look mentally unstable was one of the highlights of the show.

LMAO what a moron

>>66641945

So are they supposed to be The Clintons? Because Clair seems like an obvious Hillary type to me
>>
>>66642298

They're supposed to be Richard III and Lady MacBeth.
>>
>>66642298
more Lady Macbeth or Richard III

Just watch Boss instead OP. It's on netflix, it's basically a better version of House of Cards. Kelsey Grammer even won an emmy for his performance on the show. Thomas Kane is the leader Frank Underwood should have been once he got to the Whitehorse.

>>66642298
>southern democrats that undermine labor, get in bed with wallstreet, live a sexless marriage, and kill people

Yep.
>>
>>66642355
why not macbeth and lady macbeth?
>>
>>66642397
kek for the most part but

who did he kill?
>>
>>66642405
because he's not at all like Macbeth, who was psychotic and guilt ridden.

He's a cold, calculating Machiavelli type like Richard III.
>>
>>66642298
The author of the book said atleast that claire is most like hillary.
>>
>>66642405

He's not even remotely like MacBeth, who is a very poor schemer, is liable to fly off the handle in public, and very prone to suggestion.

Frank is more like Richard III, who uses witty asides and soliloquies to tell the audience how he's climbing up the steps to becoming king by ruining the lives of everyone that's in his way.

>>66642463
And Kevin Spacey claims to be a friend of Bill and know his behind the scenes life intimately. It's clear from what's pointed out in >>66642397 he's playing Bill.

Same is true of Francis Urquhart.

>who did he kill?

no one. Vince Foster "killed himself"

also Benghazi totally happened over a youtube video making fun of the prophet muhammed and its totally just republican conspiracy theories

They actually said they based Frank off of LBJ

I only enjoy the show when Frank is winning and fucking over other people.

Season 1 was GOAT.

Season 2 had some serious issues, but it was still pretty good. It lacked actual moral characters like Russo. Frank's plan, where it had been so planned and controlled in season 1, was now just to fuck up Chinese/US relations to the point that he could get Walker impeached. They also fucked up by taking Lucas and Janine out of the picture and sort of replacing them with some no-named reporter no one cares about.

I didn't even finish season 3.

Sounds like real life

please give me actual arguments why season 3 was bad. I thought it was easily the best one.
>>
>>66642114
>I'm an edgy teenager: the post
>>
Yes it will be great. Stop parroting that season 3 was bad, it was not.
>>
>>66641945
Did they get the writers of the original series to write season 4, no? It's gonna be horrible then
>>
>>66645371
>>66645900
When it came out I thought it was the best one, but upon rewatch of the entire series, it became the worst for me.

The photography is fucking beautiful, better than the other two seasons, but the story isn't that enjoyable.

It hangs too much on the issue with Israel and Palestine, which is pretty much unsolvable. Also Russia. Pretty much everything that Frank and Claire set out to do (which is not much) goes south on them except for AmWorks, and most of it is their fault. Frank becomes reckless and a tyrant without making an effort to hide it. One could call it being blinded with power, but it feels out of character.
It's a frustrating season to watch compared to the other two. That's my own experience at least.
>>
the only people who hate season 3 are the one that - as usual - can't stand a female character ruining their male power fantasy

I bet this will be even worse in season 4

Season 3 was so fucking boring, everyone agrees. So naturally they'll be stuffing season 4 with big 'oh shit' moments to the point where we'll be too desensitised to care about its finale.

I love its Fincher aesthetic tho, will watch specifically for that

Boss was such a fantastic show. Shame they fucked up and went with Starz. HBO or even AMC would've been a better fit.

It's like clockwork.
