Great show.
I thought overall it was really strong. Acting, writing and particularly the score. Music adds a lot to the series.
The story is pretty tight despite being fairly windy, but it never really strays.
One episode I didn't care for was when Frank returned to his college. Thought it was fairly pointless and didn't further the story much.
Also, really don't agree with the decision to break the 4th wall. It's humorous enough when Spacey does it, but I don't see it fitting with the overall tone of the show. It works on a show like House of Lies, because that's very comical, almost silly. House of Cards, at the heart is drama-based. Elements of humor, sure, but it's aim isn't to make you think. In that sense, I'm not sure breaking the 4th wall is the best artistic choice.
That said, it's not bad enough to make me dislike the show at all.

Good series but not great. Think the BBC series it is based on did a better job but I guess that's true for most things we get from overseas.
Have high hopes they build on this and season 2 is great.
