OT - House of Cards Season 3 (NO SPOILERS)

Submitted by Rickett88 on

Even as spring practice is underway for UofM football, the next big event I was excited about this Feb. was the return of House of Cards.

Just seeing if there are any others out there that are ready to binge this weekend on season 3 and what your expectations are for Mr. Underwood and Claire.

No spoilers if you have already started the season, just talk about what you think might happen.

Also, I felt that this had a great summary of past seasons and where the show left off if you were like me and forgot some elements of the story line.

And I cannot stand Claire.  Probably my most hated TV show character of all time.  And I am also rooting against Frank at this moment (is that normal?)

the first two seasons about six times.  You really pick up a lot of nuance after multiple viewings.

Outstanding cast and writing.  If anyone is interested, the original BBC series is available too.

The more and more I read the recap of previous seasons above, it reminds me of how much I think the most interesting character in the show is Doug. I really like the way the writers have taken his character down a different road then anyone else and it seems like he has his own show in a way.

I will probably get to this next week sometime.  I enjoyed the first 2 seasons, and this one will probably be very good also.  I still have to catch the last four episodes of Parks and Rec and the last 2 Person Of Interest, so House of Cards will have to wait.

I was fortunate enough to have to work from home today, so I am trying to pace myself, because I only have 13 episodes before next year.  I watched 1 today...and I remeber why i love it so much.

The story arc thus far (I haven't watched s3 yet) would seem to suggest that the third and final season is where Frank finally reaps the fruits of his scheming and sinning but if anyone can escape that comeuppance it's the honorable senator from South Carolina.

I am now kind of glad that True Detective isn't until the summer . So much good tv on right now that I can't keep up . Especially with Mad Men and GoT not too far off

I saw my first episode last year when I could not sleep from jet lag.  Well, let me tell you, that did not help.  I ended up binge watching the first two seasons over the next several days.  I'm up to episode 4 in S3 and, in my opinion, it is every bit as good.
