Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
NikkoFranco What they borrowed from the British original, they improvised. And what a hell of improvisation. Perhaps it is because it does not need any second look to find the same characters in our political arena, local or global. Kevin Spacey is convincing as Frank Underwood and on the same scale Robin Wright as Claire. The characters who have come and gone are also played by fine actors it makes the viewer think and feel that this is most likely what happens beyond the scenes. If you read the biographies of US Presidents and their first ladies, you will find a fraction of them in both Frank and Claire. Also from the key people who are in the White House, past or present. Spare your precious time off your social media account and watch this show, you'll learn a lot and yearn for more.
vinay_vnz The first second and fourth seasons are amazing couldn't have been better but you would have to admit that Kevin Spacey carried this show !! Its sad that he had to leave this way. But the best part about this show is that it explains us everything about the US election system and tell the truth about what goes on behind the scenes in Washington DC !! The 4th wall breaks by Kevin Spacey couldn't have been done any better they loop you in the show perfectly Don't miss it !!
ns-55468 I started to watch this because of Kevin Spacey. I was intrigued with the direct monologue with the viewers, by Kevin Spacey's character, Frank Underwood. As time goes on, the viewer is taken through a powerful, political drama with the Underwood's. The more the story goes on, I started to dislike and even hated the character, Frank Underwood. I think that was part of the story telling. The viewer despises the character more and more as Frank gains more power. As I start to despise this specific character, I'm left wondering why am I still watching this show. I like to finish what I started and I waiting for the day that destroys Frank's political career or even more powerful figure opposes Frank. The story telling is a bit dry and sluggish at best. There is a lot of character development, but nothing that holds all the characters together. One day in this shows universe, is like an eternity in real life. Progress is belittled and more attention is on secondary characters that come and go. Need more emphasis on the main characters with relateable events.
azmark1887 I was originally a fan of this often well-written and well-acted series. Having worked in Washington for about 10 years, I enjoyed watching the intrigue of the inner workings of Congress and the White House. While it's both interesting and enjoyable to watch Francis and his wife maneuver the machinery of Washington through intelligence, cunning, and the old quid pro quo, the show took a quick descent into the absurd and grotesque by the end of the first season.This is a bit of a spoiler: It's fun to watch Francis force his way with a bill or into a leadership post through scratching a back, telling a little lie, and the threat of ruining a career or reputation. It's quite another thing to watch him asphyxiate a troubled but talented young man and push an ambitious young woman in front of a speeding subway train. And what was the point of watching Claire, a victim of date rape in college, forcibly touching a former employee's genitals (a man dying of cancer) in a hospital bed? This is suppose to be entertaining?Evidently the writers were unable to think of a creative way for Francis to deal with the growing problem of Zoe Barnes, so they just killed her. I could understand why Francis might take advantage of the situation with the young congressman running for governor, but the second murder was bizarre. I left the show in the middle of the second season very disappointed.
