House of Cards Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
++Warning++ there will be spoilers from prior seasons in this review, but no major giveaways from season 3. If you have not seen the first two seasons, proceed with caution.
Season 3 follows up a few months down the line from Frank maneuvering his way into the Presidency. Unfortunately, for most of the season, the story of him trying to keep power is not as thrilling or enticing as his grab for power. At this point the story has abandoned any threat to Frank for the murders of Russo and Zoe. The only loose end from seasons 1 and 2 is Doug’s obsession with finding Rachel after she hit him with a rock and ran off at the end of the second season. Much of his story involves recovering from his brain injury, dealing with his alcoholism, and finding her. Frank’s story this season is divided between dealing with the Russians (and a very Putin like president), trying to get his jobs program off the ground, in a very dubious fashion, and then campaigning to be re-elected going against a female Solicitor General. While he is still very slimy and underhanded this season, he does not get his hands as dirty (for obvious reasons) as he did in the first two seasons.

We bought the entire season as a gift for a relative. We are hooked on this show. The writing, acting, and cinematography are excellent. Even if you don’t care about politics, this is one of the best shows available. Beau Willimon is the writer and producer. He has worked for many notable politicians. This series is very much a drama but it twists and turns in ways you can’t believe. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are made for each other in this series. Most of the set is an exact replica of the white house and all of the outdoor shots are real places. This is just the beginning of the seamless continuity of the series. Of course it is a work of fiction, but so entertaining!

This is a GREAT SERIES! If you like political intrigue, this is the vehicle for you. Seasons One and Two were outta sight and this series was just as good….EXCEPT for the very last chapter as they call them. The last chapter seemed to have been written by someone else…maybe cats on a typewriter?! It was awful. No specifics because I don’t want to spoil the series for anyone but the rest of this season is great…some episodes stronger than others but all leading to what I understand is a fourth season. I love it when Frances speaks directly to the viewer, breaking the fourth wall. You feel as though you know so much more than the other characters in the show. If it were not for that last episode I would have given this series a full five stars. Even at four stars this is a must see series…but you should probably see the first two seasons as well in order to really understand what is going on. So get the snacks ready cause you won’t want to leave your screen until each episode is over!
