This show is so depressing because it is so like real life.

"Democracy is so overrated"
JaredKidd
I'm always struck by how I don't dislike him. I think it's something to do with how he doesn't present a stable identity to dislike.

Why did he not candidate for presidency? I know, he is a made up character, but so are the rest...

This shows 4th wall breakage is masterful. They don't overuse it, and every time they do its for a small thing that makes the larger parts

so much better

Is this show actually any good? I tried watching the first episode and kept falling asleep
iownurface97
It is so good.
KharnApproves
It's really god damn good. I binged the end of the third season before the 4th came out and probably shouted motherfucker 40 times.
luciperi
I guess I'll give it another shot it just seems slow I don't know
KharnApproves
There are very few scenes that are action oriented, so you have to be paying attention for sure to enjoy it.

Underwood/Underwood '16
nlaw1013
So Clinton then?
Snarkoleptic
Hillary works exactly in the way that Underwood does. He's a dick only interested in power. It's a great series but people misunderstand it
CardinalBlaarfengar
People don't think he's a dick? That's exactly why I like him so much. He's a brilliant protagonist.
JohnnyricoMC
Such an admirable bastard he is.
Snarkoleptic
He's a brilliant protagonist but asking for someone like him in power knowingly is misguided at best and delusional at worst.
ClassicFrank
He's a modern Maquiavelo +1
SnarkyScience
*Machiavelli
ClassicFrank
Right, thanks!
override367
Underwood is completely unbelievable as a Democrat though, his legislative accomplishments would be too right wing in some republican states
override367
*Pre-America Works, which is definitely a Hillary-esque solution to employment, less efficient than just having welfare and more expensive
tapetkabinett
Yeah but Hillary isn't nearly as cold as Francis is. That's why atleast I admire him.
Snarkoleptic
Why do you admire a psychopath? He's fucking over people left right and centre
tapetkabinett
He's fiction you bellend. I admire his stonecoldness when he's talking, not him killing people. Jesus Christ.
Snarkoleptic
He doesn't need to be real for you to admire him. The whole concept of the series is that the thing you admire -comes- with the bad
override367
Francis is literally a murderous psychopath good god
tapetkabinett
He's fiction you bellend. I admire his stonecoldness when he's talking.

When they both broke the fourth wall it gave me literal chills
ClassicFrank
Yeah, it was awesome!
AllGoodNDaHood
I love this show but he is a massive piece of shit. Ive never rooted against a main character as much. He's basically Democrat Ted Cruz.
dembonz00
Ahem... Joffrey?
shimmernshine
Producers are a piece of shit for inverting the union as a promotional tool. But yes, good show.
DankS0uls
I love him BECAUSE he is a massive piece of shit. He embraces it. Although that might just reflect on me.
TastyButts
I never know if I want to be Frank and Claire or be inside them/third wheel (a la Mitchum)
Thephedora
That's part of the appeal. We get to see the villian protaganist instead of the usual good guys. Take a peek at the bad guy's mind.
AllGoodNDaHood
Yeah I totally get that. I just hate his guts. He's a good villain in that sense.
sixsigmaprime
Does that make me a piece of shit for rooting for Underwood? Maybe I'm just ready to see the world burn. Can't wait for season 5. :)
breakfastenthusiast
Yet I find myself rooting for Claire
ChloePrice
Really? I feel like she's just as bad as him, though more extreme in either direction on occasion.
AllGoodNDaHood
Yeah Claire sometimes but she's also usually a terrible person. I usually root for the journalists or Heather Dunbar.
fuckititsralley
Yeah I miss zoey.
breakfastenthusiast
I've always enjoyed characters that aren't so 'nice' or 'ethical' (also probably why I enjoy Game of Thrones)
fuckititsralley
I like Doug though. He is cool.
Thephedora
Claire is a terrible person. But so is her neighbor, and his neighbor. And her husband. Think that's why she liked the artist.
stevegoodsex
Why? Honest question
breakfastenthusiast
It started during her admission to the abortion, and I think she has been secretly growing on me every episode since.
manwhoclaimstobedoctorbutisnt
There is no way Cruz could pull off a tenth of the stuff Frank does. Cruz is a blithering imbecile. Frank is a genius mastermind.
AllGoodNDaHood
I despise Cruz but he's no idiot. He basically shares all his policies with Trump yet was able to basically dominate Senate Repubs for years
potshot
I always thought Frank is cunning, but not genius. He's built a literal house of cards, and that's what makes it great: a step from collapse
chloramphenicolderivative
You can never cut deep without something being on a knife's edge. He had to make risky plays to get big rewards.
manwhoclaimstobedoctorbutisnt
I see your point. I do think it takes a certain kind of genius to play a game like he does. Cunning, sure. Ruthlessness, absolutely.
transmogrifier38
He is Macbeth.
ChaoticScholar
Nah, Macbeth doubted himself. Underwood just took everybody out like a sniper in the woods.
gavriloscharf
Season 3 was all about doubting himself.
RealScienceMan
He's based on a character based on a character based on Macbeth, it's more clear in the British show, and even more clear in the books.
myexwouldcreeponmyoldaccountsoigotanewone
Elaborate?
RealScienceMan
It's more clear in the British version and the novels, but it starts with him winning it for the team then the kind passing him up.
RealScienceMan
Followed by overthrowing the leader, followed by more Macbeth stuff that's spoilers for the American version.
