    At this stage in the show, frank has been president for too long. What i mean by that is, the story has become one where instead of the underwoods rising to power through cunning, it's one where they stay in power mostly due to inertia and a little bit of cunning that isn't nearly as intriguing as in the earlier seasons. These problems do get a lot more noticeably worse in season 5 but forAt this stage in the show, frank has been president for too long.

These problems do get a lot more noticeably worse in season 5 but for me they were quite bad enough in season 4 that i did not enjoy watching it. The Barnes storyline peaked long ago and is nigh unwatchable. Stamper's plotline is dull. Only the campaign offers any intrigue and even that feels like a major downgrade.… Expand

    House of Cards has its own distinct, if shallow, pleasures, including Spacey, who just gets better and better as Frank.... Wright is Spacey's equal, and in Season 4, Claire is more stony and stoic than ever.

    While Season 4 still has the “Netflix Problem” of being a few episodes too long, it’s tough to say what should be cut this year. Almost every plotline serves a purpose, delivers some kind of rewarding payoff, and it further drags us down in the muck of Frank and Claire’s life.

    Season four's sweep is, in some ways, a little cheap (when you've written off as many characters as this show has, it's easy to buy gravitas by bringing a few back), but it's also entertaining.
