Actually it's not

Linguistically, It really is.

Haven't seen any since mid season 2 when plot got too wacky, but was spot on for SC

You spend much time in the South Carolina/North Georgia area?

No, but I know what the accent is supposed to sound like. His vowels like "I" aren't pronounced correctly and elongated, he enunciates way too much and he misses quite a few r's that are supposed to be dropped. And he pronounces his g's at the end of ing words.

This is the nitpick of all nitpicks

I'm from Gaffney, that Old South accent is definitely prevalent among older SCers... Even more so in the small towns.

Exactly.
There are so many more terrible things about that show than his accent.

Agreed. I haven't been able to watch any movie/TV show with him doing a cringeworthy accent since Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Have avoided House of Cards for this reason. Yes I live in GA and have lived in SC before as well.
ETA maybe it's because I know he's a yankee from NJ that lives in Hollywood, doing a fake accent. Find an actor that is actually from the South to play roles with an accent please.

That's why I only watched the pilot of House of Cards.

You do realize different parts of the south have different southern accents. It's pretty good for someone from SC
Posted on 3/11/16 at 6:02 am to Masterag
Never watched House of Cards but roommate just started watching the new season and I saw an episode. I actually made a commit to him the other day I thought he did a good accent

I've heard a lot worse in many other shows and movies. And at least he isn't over the top with it.

You notice how it goes in and out?
When is talking to just Claire he often doesn't have it?
His fake southern accent is one of the smartest parts of the show. He plays the good ole boy for the people

He's also playing the president. He has to enunciate.
