Your friend isn't wrong. It has become extremely silly while killing off or removing some of the better characters.

First two seasons were awesome. I tapped our mid way through season 3. Nothing in this trailer lured me back.

Season 1 was one of my favorite seasons of TV of all-time. I think FU ascended to the White House a bit too quickly, and has yet to have to answer for some of the horrible things he did. Zoe was mentioned, what, once in all of Season 3?

However, I liked Season 3 more than Season 2. The stuff with the Chinese and Major Dad (can't remember the character's name...it's been a year) was a little boring for me.

All in all, love the show, love the Frank Underwood character. Excited for another season.

I can see that. Season 3 at least had some better nemeses in the form of Fake Putin and Frank's rival candidate. President Walker and his wife were comparatively weak opponents for Frank to steamroll.

Also, I don't think of Gerald McRaney as Mr. Dad, but as the dad from The Neverending Story.

His role in HOC was similar to his acting style as Hearst in Deadwood.

I loved season 1 and probably loved season 2.

Everything seemed like implausible crap in season 3 and Claire's motives just seemed to come out of nowhere.

I'm one of the few who hated the ending of Breaking Bad. I will hate this show if they do the same thing.

I want the show to end with Frank on top after screwing everyone else with a powerful pop to his desk as Emperor of the fracking world!

I honestly haven't been able to finish Season 3. I lost interest along the way. Not terrible but not compelling. Maybe I'll finish it and take a look at 4.

Not to lower the critical dialogue, but as great as S2 E1 was, I kind of missed Kate Mara slutting it up.
