Season 3 is a crashing bore so far. One policy wonk speech after another. Characters hold press conferences, plead before the Supreme Court, pontificate at the UN, give endless toasts at state dinners, or address the nation on TV. And I’m only on Episode 4.
Speeches are the epitome of Lazy Writing.
Oh and, let’s set a bunch of scenes at the United Nations! Because THAT’S entertainment! What’s in store for Season 5? The inner workings of the Department of Agriculture?
Well, if the storyline follows the original British version of the House of Cards, there won’t be a 4th season. We’ll see.
I’m actually finding Stamper’s story a lot more compelling than Frank’s this season.
Yep, and the background music doesn't help. It reminds me of the last season of Fringe.
Show, don't tell.
