Only watched the first 3.
Is it just me or has Frank completely lost it? He seems totally out of his depth now in comparison to the first two seasons.
two choices for a seriesIs it just me or has Frank completely lost it? He seems totally out of his depth now in comparison to the first two seasons.
a) make him awesome in which case its all super and nothing happens
b) start with him in a deep hole and let him spend the series doing what he does best as the Machiavellian superstar that he is.
Which one do you think would make the best TV?
Noticed this was available last night so thought I'd watch the first episode before bed. Next thing I was hooked again and had got through the first three episodes. Going to be a tricky one to comment on regarding spoliers as there is no broadcast pace for it as such - I notice from the comments above some have watched 3 like me and others have gobbled up the whole lot.
I think I'll try and eke it out to just a couple of eps per day.

By far the weakest series... Just did a binge watch over the last few days.
Don't want to give spoilers away but I didn't think any of the stories really got going ant they seemed to jump and miss massive parts of the story.
Based on this series not so excited to watch the next one.
At least some other good things to get into...
Better Call Saul
Bosch
New season of black sails
New season of Vikings

I don't know if binge viewing reduces the impact and attraction. I am 5 episodes in and still waiting for it to step up a gear. I have chuckled twice at it whereas the earlier series I was always laughing and what a b'stad he is.
Still, much better watching than The Walking Dead which I really need to remove from series link.

Watched up to Ep10 or 11 now. I guess I would have to agree that this series is weaker than the previous two, but I think that comes naturally due to the position Frank is in now.
Seasons 1 and 2 were mostly about Clare and Frank working together to manipulate people and situations around them in order to achieve a single goal they were focused on - mainly the Presidency. Now they're mostly working apart on separate goals and they're no longer setting the agenda or creating their own situations - they're now just reacting to all the things happening around them.
I actually think this season has been great for capturing what I imagine is quite an accurate portrayal of what it must be like as the President and First Lady.
However, I didn't enjoy Episode 10 - where Frank goes to meet Petrov in the Jordanian Valley. I thought it was completely out of character, everyone could see the trip was going to back fire and if Frank was happy to stop the peach keeping mission, that could have all been done over the phone! I think it was one of the least thought out episodes of the series so far.
