Season 3 released at 3am this morning. Surprised that there isn't a thread.

I won't binge but I'll watch it pretty quickly over the next few weeks. Only sort of pertaining to HOC: does anyone else think Robin Wright looks more and more manly with each passing year? Has really not aged well at all, IMO. So skinny and hard looking, like she's had a hard life or something. Very pretty in Princess Bride. Very attractive in Forrest Gump (I know both more than a few years ago). But, damn, now she looks pretty rough (Ellen Barkin-like). Just wondering what others thought.
BTW, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE House of Cards. Spacey is perfect and the show is just so well done, although the plot lines get a little too far fetched at times. Hugely entertaining. Thinking 3 years might be enough, though.

I picked a good night to be stuck in the hospital overnight. Planning on starting a marathon after dinner as long as the battery on my tablet holds out.
I don't see much difference...

2 episodes in, and it sucks.
I put it in same category of SOA. Good shock value show with great actors.

It's corny AF, fasho. 3rd seasons rocks your socks off with corniness, but it's like a car wreck - can't not watch it.
I like the direction it's heading, though. Can't wait to see what happens.
They just need to cut this one off before it reaches SOA level corniness. Like, we'll see how this plays out, but I don't think they need a season 4. Things will get absurd at that point.

Watched through S3:E6 so far. The last two episodes didn't impress. Loved seasons 1& 2, but this one better pick it up.
Finished season 3 over the weekend. My immediate reaction was meh. To me the whole point of the show was the backstabbing and underhandedness that Spacey does. The problem is that he got what he always wanted. Now that he's at the top it's all about him showing off his power. To me it lost what made it so good.
Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3
Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3
I thought it was solid. Claire was a total F-up this season as she seemed to intentionally try to screw everything up for Frank as much as humanly possible throughout the whole season.
I thought the episodes with the Russians were pretty good. That one girl from ***** Riot is really smoking hot, and the other one is not bad either, and that seemed pretty realistic in regards to what would happen if they ate dinner with Putin in real life like they did with Petrov on the show.
Doug's journey this season was fun as well, and it seems he is back where he belongs as Frank's right hand man heading into season 4.

I give season 3 a B-. I thought it was the weakest of the three. I enjoyed the stuff with the Russians and Doug's arc. The rest was just okay. I look forward to season 4 though.
Starts slow, but still great when taken as a whole. Not as great as season 1 and 2, but great nonetheless. Leaves a great cliffhanger, and seems to be on an entirely different arc moving forward.
Dougs story started slow. But had a satisfying ending. I really love that character.
Claire sucks. Shes moving quickly into skylar, Hank, Marlo, and Joffrey territory for me.
The Frank/Russian episodes were the best.

Why didn't that weirdo die. He sucks. If that's the only "good" story line they have, then I guess I'll just continue to hate and ***** about the woeful first 3 episodes. Very weak. It's like they never planned on making a 3rd season.
Does Remy Martin die?

To me, the season was really slow till about episode 6. Then really picked up steam around episode 8 or 9. Then the last 3 episodes were superb.
Through S3:E10 now.
Not impressed. I honestly don't know that I'll finish out the season. My wife still seems interested, and there are just 3 episodes left, so I probably will. But I'm not expecting uch.
I started this show just before Season 2 came out. We binged on Season 1, then Season 2 came out about 2 weeks later and we knocked thay one out in a weekend. I honestly don't care to finish this season.

No where close to season 1 and 2. I agree with the poster who said what made it great was all the backstabbing and scheming which was lacking in this season. Overall I give it a meh.
Ps I for one liked when he cut away and did his private thing into the camera and they didnt do much of that at all this season.

As others have said, ok season. The episodes with the Russian PM were excellent. It is kinda funny how before everything he schemed turned out golden but now it's like he's cursed or something. Will be interesting to see where this goes going forward.
I'm up to E8 and it's certainly more boring than the first two seasons. It's getting to be like a soap opera. Too much mundane chit to fill in for time.
I'll finish it, but hope it's better next season.

You telling me Remy doesn't even bang Claire?
I just assumed, based on how season 2 left off, that Remy was gonna viciously bang them all. They don't even finish that story? Is season 3 made by the same people?
I'm still mad at this show and I quit like a week ago after 3 episodes with the weirdo who came back from the dead. It's not even Walking Dead good at this point. The Killing blows it out of the water. This show had a lot of potential.

Have only watched E:1 thus far. I actually had a hard time finishing last season as it seemed to drag in the middle episodes. It did finish pretty strong, though. Many of the comments I've heard from others. So, I'm not quite as pumped as I was for the first two seasons. I'm sure I'll finish it at some point, though. If I'm not really blown away, though, I may not watch the next season.
Season 4 was a return to form. I kind of wish this would've been the last season. It felt like they were bringing things full circle with bringing back some characters from earlier seasons. With the show runner leaving after this season, it felt like it would've been a good opportunity to go out on a high note. I still think season 1 is the best, but 4 isn't far behind for me.
Season 4 was good, but definitely like it was written in a pre-Trump world. Conway is Rubio, right?
