Get It How You Get It
Petrov's ultimatum
2nd season felt so unrealistic to me. I didn't even want to rematch it outside of the great first episode. Raymond tusk and the indian casino guy were good rivals, but everybody else pretty much bended to franks will. Especially his secret service guyThe second season was pretty boring to me, but this one was good. Sure, there weren't any huge twists, but the story and production were much better than last year.
Man this season here are my highlights and low lights...
Lowlights: I really don't give a shyt about Jackie and Remy's relationship. They really fukked over a great piece of the show imo. Remy was a fukking force of nature in Season 1, strong arming nikkas, pitting Claire against Francis it was almost masterclass. I was hype as fukk when I saw he was Chief of Staff But nah, he dipped out over his fukkin EX-girl.
I also coulda did without SO MUCH of Orsay, I mean I get his part in the grander scheme, but do I REALLY need 10 mins an episode dedicated to him in FBI offices? Nah.
They also were really soft on displaying the press. One of the best parts of the show was showing how Politicians must work hand in hand (or at least manipulate) the press to be effective, and how the press is supposed to question that at all costs. Zoe was the paragon of that aspect and it died with her too. Seth, Francis and his team just steamrolled the press in this season.
Highlights:
DOUG fukkING STAMPER. Sure the whole Rachel obsession thing was getting tiresome and I loved how as his limp was leaving his ruthlessness was coming back. The moment he threw the cane in the water I knew he would kill Rachel. Its also good to have a guy in the show who's just fukking weird....many salutes to Francis Jr.
Robin Wright's Claire. We can get mad at the ending all day (she's fukking stupid) but Claire had the power scenes mayne. The small things in acting get me...involuntary stuff that lets you know an actor is all in. We all know Claire as an ice queen, but when she was sitting in that car, and Frank told her that journal might come out... that shyt looked like GENUINE FEAR. The blood drive scene, the hotel scene, the prison scenes....hell the whole season belongs to Robin Wright (she directed episode 9 too)
Most of all...President....mother...fukking...Petrov. Dude is a fukking master Russian politics hurricane. Best part about him is dude is BRUTALLY honest about everything Francis would lie about. He off rip was like "Yo, gays don't even bother me bro, but i'll jail/kill them fukkers to keep my regime on point." or "I know why you invited me down here nikka, fukk your expensive cigars. " or "Oh, yeah...i killed my own people, but you'll give me this resolution, end the UN mission AND fire your wife...". The Underwoods are lucky dude doesn't want more than that, because Petrov was a MUCH more experienced head of state than Francis and showed so all season long.
Even with the weaknesses I still liked the season
i thought the hacker told the fbi agent his demands...Zoe's boyfriend is rotting in jail and the editor didn't really believe his story. How can they be major players again?
calm down breh, the fall will be hard and fastYeah I feel like this show is getting worse.
I don't think they've done a great job of closing out certain story lines.
I didn't like they way they closed out Zoe and Lucas.
I don't like how they just keep getting away with shyt. How they had to off Rachel at the end. She wasn't a threat at all and completely pointless during the whole season.
The bullshyt with this America Works book was stupid.
Why is Doug Stamper still a major character on the show but Peter Russo gets killed off in season 1? Russo was one of the best characters.
It's kinda bullshyt how Underwood keeps getting away with EVERYTHING.
blue dog brehLove this series to death. But Frank Underwood gotta be the biggest DINO in the history of Democrats, real or fictional.
i thought the hacker told the fbi agent his demands...
drop all HIS charges
drop all the boyfriend's charges
and there was something else too
maybe i missed where he said he wasn't gonna do that
Rachel's death might have been the saddest thing I had ever seen in a TV show. I really thought he was gonna let her live.
This also means Frank is never gonna go down for murdering Russo and Zoe. Rachel was the only one left. I thought that was supposed to be the idea behind the show.

Only thing I didn't like was that they made frank look like a dumbass this season
In season 1 and 2 he was very calculated with his plans and was always 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else. This season it was like he was just shooting from the hip and making shyt up as he went on.
