It's a political show for literal retards.

I tuned in during some episode where he was talking about scrapping Medicare and Social Security or some asinine bullshit, apparently not realizing that's political suicide no matter which side of the aisle you're on.

Then he suggests a joint security mission with TOTALLY NOT PUTIN to maintain peace in Israel.

He's like that Veep character, but more cartoonish and less capable with even less situational awareness and a shakier grasp of geopolitics.

If you like House of Tards you may actually be mentally retarded is what I'm saying.

It's fucking terrible and the problem is you give it some time for things to get better but it never does so you end up wasting your time. I only watched 2 seasons though and I won't be touching this degenerate crap in the future. In fact I think I'm just going to take a pass on all Netflix series' because so far all their shows have been tumblr tier garbage.

How much of a hack do you have to be to pull the shit they pulled in S2E1? And why does Robin suddenly become a rape victim? What's with all the filler and all those plots that go nowhere?

House should have ended maybe at the end of the fifth season. And that's pushing it.

End of the fourth season was good tho.

I just like thinking house went nutzo and everyone lived happily ever after

>that season where cuddy and house dated

I don't remember for sure if she gets pregnant, but...

Has there ever been drop of quality this drastic in so little time?
Even Dexter s4 vs s5 has a less obvious gap than House of Cards.

>>63116381
Damn that's fucking hot man.

It's a whole different television culture and context, but Doctor Who went from The Caves of Androzani, best rated serial of the classic series, to The Twin Dilemma, worst rated, in the space of a week.

Check out clips from each on youtube, and then tear your face off, much like the audiences did.

>build a show around a super-villain who can't lose

>be surprised when people complain there's no drama

The show lost any potential the second it killed of Peter Russo, he was the only person with any actual complexity or humanity to him. Uou can't actually make a real TV show with Frank Underwood as the lead because he barely resembles a human being

The shift from ebin twist factory to actual attempts at real human drama in S3 was fucking hilarious. It's like if Breaking Bad started out with Walt as Heisenberg and then halfway though then tried to make him a sympathetic man who just wants to help his family.

House of Cards should have ended right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-pIw4OtiXc

If there is one show that should have ended after S1, it's this

That's because heroes should have ended BEFORE season 1, you stupid fuck :^)

Kring learned literally nothing in the intervening years. He really is in his own calibre of complete garbage.

>>63116508
It was too close to home for the network Jews.

>>63116159
Season 3 felt like a bunch of women took over and decided plot and character development were too slow and had Claire do a bunch of retarded things for "empowerment and feminism", while pushing Frank into second place.
>>
>>63116345
The opening of season 6 is great though.

But if there had been less copy-pasted episodes I guess they could have reached that point in the story by season 3 or so.

The show had some unique episodes which were all great but it was mostly just the same episode repeated. If every episode was as good as those unique episodes the show would have been one of the GOATs.

second season was good.

>she'll have him shot on the inauguration day so she can be president

After the terrible season 3 where they tried to force Claire into everything I can honestly see them do that.
>>
>>63116345
S3 finale was the best point to end the series.

This would've been the perfect final ending for the series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN-I7b7eOY4

Frank's plan is complete, he is the absolute victor. His character is complete, his story is complete, and we are left with slight apprehension at the possibly terrible consequences of this guy becoming leader of the free world.
>>
>>63116964
God yes.

Then again, that only adapts, like, the first part of the original trilogy.
>>
>>63116964

Except the show is called House of Cards, and if there's any thematic meat to the story its the fact that his greed and rage got him the presidency at the cost of stability and a sure run.

The house of cards has to fall. But not yet, because Netflix likes the money it gets them.
>>
Homeland, with Brody blowing himself up.
>>
I enjoyed the Putin-alike character in the last season, but I agree it should have ended when Frank became president.
>>
>>63117055
came here to post this desu senpai

>>63116235
pretty likely tbqh

Stargate SG-1 in season 8.
>>
>>63116297
But that was the whole point of the season. For once Frank wasn't the all-knowing manipulator and legitimately fucked up as President. That's why it's going to be so hard for his campaign.
>>
>>63118238
He's not just out of his element, he's operating like someone who's never even spent a day on Capitol Hill before in his life and has no advisers on foreign policy.

That's just (incredibly) bad writing and world-building.
>>
>>63116235
So you read the book and/or watched the BBC version.
Good job predicting
>>
>>63118355
Yeah. That's how predictions work.
>>
>>63116159
But season one was just the set up for the climax that is Season 2
>>
>>63118525
thn season 3 was like a denumont/re-exposition mixed with mini climaxs; it was weird

>i want to become powerful

>>
>>63116235
No.
There will be an assassination attempt on Frank. Claire won't be able to leave him without looking like the callous shrew that she is.

You heard it here first.

Basing that wide claim on 'some episode you just tuned in for'

Which is kind of a strange claim to make considering you have to go out of your way to load up HoC and stream it. You admit you watched the show completely up to that point, you can still sound as dismissive as you want to kek
