| Season is back! Time to marathon!! |
not in MY country, apparently! no biggie though haven't finished season 4 yet, kind of lost it in the middle there. guess I have to at least watch the ending pieces :D
I was really into the series, don't know why but it fell short at some point. maybe because there was too big a gap between seasons?...don't know, will stay tuned and continue though! that underwood dude is one son of a gun! | "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

"that underwood dude is one son of a gun!" is the best way to describe this show I've ever seen | |

This season is soooo eerie. I can't believe it was written before the 2016 election. | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

| It's been a month since I've finished S5, and I've decided this show is officially garbage. Cathy getting pushed down the stairs is the jump the shark moment for me. |

Sorry to dig up old threads my dudes, but it's gotta be said: This season was absolute shite
I had a feeling it might be when I saw the showrunner left last season but oh boy...it surpassed my worst expectations.

Finished s5, lots of mixed feelings. Hit and miss at times but I agree with Justin's jump the shark moment, they should've done literally anything else to stall there | |

I thought the first half of the season was solid. The Underwood/Conway election story which carried on from S4 was really good, and those two episodes centered on the vote itself were the best of the season imo. The moment when Frank and Claire realized they were losing was great.
But the second half of the season was atrocious. Every character suddenly became retarded. I think from the start, the writers had decided they wanted to end with Claire as President at the end of the season, and didn't care to think how they would get to that point. It was painfully clear they were going for that from the first ep. It could have worked, but the way they handled it was plain dumb.
Franks plan, to get himself deposed, to the point that he would leak damaging information which connected him to a murder, was quite possibily the dumbest thing the show has ever done. And then they tried to dress it up like it was a genius move. No. Claires betrayal at the end made no sense, and seems like it was just thrown in to shock the audience. Cathy getting pushed down the stairs was ridiculous. Crappy twists like that belong in soap operas.
This season was like House Of Cards: Dallas edition
The dialog was atrocious from start to finish.
This season was so bad that I don't even think I'll watch it next year, and this was an unmissable show for me at one time. I really do wonder if they should have ended at S2 when Frank won the presidency. |
