“House of Cards” Season 4 has become a kind of endurance test for the viewers. But there is no reason for them to quit especially now that they have been Frank and Claire for all of four seasons. Real politics is a bad comedy these days and people, especially Americans, are better off watching the Underwoods on the small screen than watching GOP debates or some other political circus now going on in most parts of the country.
The show was once regarded as a hedonistic and clever antidote to the colorless stagnation of American politics, now “House of Cards” offers the shelter of a world where the people running for office seem to take the task very seriously.
The fourth season of “House of Cards” also proves that much of the rumors and speculations regarding plotlines and characters before it premiered on Netflix was mostly inaccurate and it seems that showrunner Beau Willimon and the cast members themselves succeeded in keeping the true-blue spoilers to a minimum, making the show really fun and exciting to watch.
Watching a TV series without knowing what will happen next, is what makes viewing highly entertaining. “House of Cards” Season 4 did not disappoint.
