Setting the story in an election year gives this season some added cache. But as evil as Frank might be, the good thing is that whatever he does only become fodder for next season.March 04, 2016
The dynamic of Claire as an insurgent and Frank as a seething spurned husband (instead of folksy asides, we get a murder dream) has created an interesting, novel dynamic.March 04, 2016
Heavy-handed symbolism, bloody MacBethian imagery and a recurring nightmare launch the tale into a hyper-real version of U.S. politics, where murder is a tactic along with gladhanding and kissing babies.March 04, 2016
A fast and furious romp through the first six episodes that should keep bingers - and fans - happy. (Six episodes were made available for critics' advance screening; all 12 episodes are available today for streaming.)March 03, 2016
Season 4 seems to be dialing up the psychological darkness as the walls separating different compartments in its characters' lives collapse.March 02, 2016
It's not a spoiler to say that Claire's drive, in her personal and professional life, take on a new centrality in season four, and Wright is more than up to the challenge.March 03, 2016
House of Cards is still a dark and dangerous delight in season 4, but its meatier political subtext sometimes doesn't serve as the best bedfellow for Netflix's all-you-can-eat platform.July 14, 2016
Despite everything, House of Cards was, in its icy heart of hearts, a love story. And then Claire went and turned into Skyler White from Breaking Bad. Ugh.March 04, 2016
[Beau] Willimon can move on with his head held high, knowing he's successfully progressed House of Cards from a rich soap to serious drama.February 24, 2016
House of Cards was the original of the binge-watch species and fans are sure to enjoy every deliciously dark moment of what rates as a triumphant return.
