I predicted this shit would become Scandal two seasons ago, but I still wasn’t ready man.
Your daughter will be told you died when your train derailed on its way to Narnia.” Fuck outta here man. If I said, yo, you should make me assistant director because we make a good team, she would look me dead in the eye and say, “William, I want you out of the house by Friday. Fam, my wife is a director at her non-profit job. Number one with a bullet gotta be Claire when she told Frank she wanted to be Vice President. I rolled my eyes so much during this season I gotta undergo a concussion syndrome test every time I boot up Netflix now. Washington, DC went beyond asking the suspension of disbelief it required in the first season, to blatantly telling audiences “this’ll work, because Frank and Claire had a conversation, and they said it’ll work.” Can you even count the scenarios that made you roll your eyes? The times they acknowledged something as ridiculous, but by acknowledging it they thought it was made okay? That was the whole premise, right? “The rise, the prize, the turmoil, and the fall,” The Shield is the blueprint for what House of Cards was meant to be, only the political equivalent rather than cop drama.Īnd now we find ourselves here, 4 seasons and 52 episodes deep, drinking our morning coffee in the White House with our new-normal love triangle and asking ourselves how the hell we got hereBut where The Shield paced nearly flawlessly between the original bad deeds and the need to escape them, House of Cards went off the rails. It’s the anti- Breaking Bad, for sure - not fast enough to be riveting and not thoughtful enough to be worth the haul - but you know what show it reminds me of more? House of Cards is the bastardization of FX’s The Shield. A trap to stretch a show on life support, a show that Netflix would be best to let go. Claire versus Frank was the redeeming value of the third season - the one thing that made you think “well it wasn’t that good, but oh man, it’ll be worth it for this.” And what was it? A pump fake. And like any good con, I’m less mad at them for doing it than I am at myself for falling for it. That shit was the whole angle they pushed for this season, and what, it was done by episode 4? Of all the things I found most disappointing was the abandonment of the Frank versus Claire. This shit is the anti- Breaking Bad, where efficiency is an afterthought… similar to any semblance of realism.
HOUSE OF CARDS SEASON 4 FULL
But when we dedicating full episodes to Doug Stamper’s rehab or Lucas learning the “Deep Net,” I knew that they were gonna drag this shit out more than a Naruto battle. The rise, the prize, the turmoil, the fall. House of Cards should have been 3 seasons, 4 at most. William: We got here cuz Netflix is about that money, that pyramid mummy money. How did we get here, Will? William, I need to understand, how did we get here? And now we find ourselves here, 4 seasons and 52 episodes deep, drinking our morning coffee in the White House with our new-normal love triangle and asking ourselves how the hell we got here. But we forgot just how bad it was, and just how much worse it’s likely to get… and we slipped. We knew - no matter how much we buried it - we knew after the the lackluster third season that we would be done wrong. In our heart we knew this season was suspect. Jordan: How’d it work out for me? You know how when someone wrongs you, you might promise to never forget? And you pine and stew in your anger and disappointment, but then eventually you start to forget what exactly it was you were angry about? You hold onto the feeling, but the details get cloudier and cloudier until you start to slip? That’s what House of Cards is to me.
It’s been almost two weeks since the newest season of House of Cards dropped where we waited with baited breath for the continuation of Underwood vs Underwood at the highest political level… how did that work out for you? William: There’s a distinct possibility that when I’m on my deathbed and my loved ones are gathered around for my last breath, I’m gonna look back to my 30s and say, gotdamn, I wish I had those 13 hours back that I committed to House Of Cards season 4. After powering through the fourth season of House of Cards on Netflix, they both have some questions. ***All The Spoilers For Each Season Of House of Cards*** There was a time when Jordan Calhoun and William Evans were pretty hype about House of Cards returning.
