Anyone else excited for the new season?

Kyle89 · 22 February 2015, 06:36 AM

Yes!!!!!

anothernewphone · 22 February 2015, 07:16 AM

Very excited. It's been too long!

mtrunner · 22 February 2015, 07:21 AM

Looking forward to it. Should be interesting to see where they take this season considering he is now at the top which was the entire goal the first two seasons.

GB-man · 22 February 2015, 07:55 AM

I'm very exited! Will likely binge it over a week.

I'm planning the same thing. I told my fiance not to schedule anything for us that weekend, because we are starting and finishing next weekend!

BNA/LION · 22 February 2015, 08:11 AM

Excited here!

kh1970 · 22 February 2015, 08:39 AM

Definitely, can't wait! That's such a good show.

One Ping Only · 22 February 2015, 08:50 AM

Eagerly awaiting it! Going to stretch it out a little, otherwise over too soon.

nickb732 · 22 February 2015, 09:04 AM

Count me in! Just one more week

Fabrice M · 22 February 2015, 10:07 AM

Can't wait.

Rags · 22 February 2015, 10:44 AM

It's a great show. I can't wait for season 3 to be released on Netflix.

adamlea · 22 February 2015, 05:42 PM

The sad part is that I'll finish Season 3 by next Sunday night. Then I'll be on ice for another year.

SUBversive · 22 February 2015, 05:49 PM

Yes.

So am I, a glass of wine or scotch, something to eat and House of Cards

Xenophon · 22 February 2015, 09:21 PM

I'm looking forward to it. I wonder if we'll get the same ending as on the original BBC version ?

Not sure but enjoyed the original UK series as well.

I can't remember if they said Season 3 is the last or not. Would think that with Frank as President, they could stretch to another season.

locutus49 · 23 February 2015, 09:57 AM

I preferred the British original.

Hooper · 25 February 2015, 05:46 AM

Absolutely

Josh36912 · 25 February 2015, 06:44 AM

Brilliant series. Well made and well written.

Since this has been brought up on the Forum. Anyone watch spotted Franks timepiece?

SearChart · 25 February 2015, 06:00 PM

IWC, he is a brand ambassador.

Manofsteelpt · 3 March 2015, 12:59 AM

My wife and I were very excited for it... Finished the season last nite, no spoilers though.

jjnd08 · 3 March 2015, 01:17 AM

We finished late Saturday afternoon.

Great cliffhanger as usual...not thrilled I have to wait another year to find out what's next!

mtrunner · 3 March 2015, 01:36 AM

Mike and JJ, overall what did you think of season 3? How do you think it compared to the first two seasons? My wife and I haven't started season 3 yet but hope to get to it this weekend.

Xenophon · 22 August 2015, 08:34 PM

I thought I'd resurrect this thread as I'm currently watching the third series, about half way through. I'm actually massively disappointed this time.
Storylines silly - e.g. prisoner in Russian cell hanging himself whilst the first lady has a nap a few feet away from him, first lady is ambassador to the UN
Slow boring progress with characters that seem to add nothing to the plot - e.g. Doug Stamper
The general pace seems to be dreadfully slow and it's only Kevin Spaceys great performance that's keeping me involved.
Any one else disappointed with this series compared to the first two ?

SearChart · 22 August 2015, 08:38 PM

I thought it was a boring season. I hope season 4 is going to be as good as the first two.

brandrea · 22 August 2015, 08:45 PM

I'm embarrassed to say I've never watched it

We finally got around to season 3 and we were highly disappointed as well. I agree with everything you said. Plus his wife was a pitbull the first two seasons, willing to do anything to get to the top but suddenly in season 3 she goes soft and can't handle it anymore? I just didn't buy the writing at all this season and thought season 3 was terrible compared to the first two seasons.

Invictus Maneo · 23 August 2015, 03:57 AM

I agree. Season 3 was a disappointment

. Too much dramatic weird stuff going on. Doug Stamper is my favorite character but they blew it this season with all that "Rachael" garbage. A lot of the other characters seemed out of context as well

. I won't go into naming them. If you watch the show you know whom I'm talking about.
