So far, the show is letting me down. Frank's insatiable, ruthless accumulation of power has turned into a soft appeal for historical significance. He feels like he's suddenly making shit up as he goes instead of enacting a grand scheme to control all the things.
I don't like that the audience is being led to side with the Underwoods so far this season. The audience is not supposed to like or be like them, the audience is witness to either a train wreck or the sculpting of the David... not sure which, but a spectator, not a participant.
I don't want to like Frank. That was the point of the earlier seasons. He's the epitome of selfish greed - an Ayn Randian figure without all the preaching. I want him to look at me and smirk in that smug way that says, "You think you know what I accomplished there, don't you? Plebe."
At least Freddie made a cameo at the end of the show in the jobs line. I am with dhubs on wanting to see more of that character.
What's happening to the ruthless Claire? This season she has turned into a damsel in a dress.
