Just finished...I agree with what most people are saying.
[spoil]I think this show kind of started to lose its way because of their insistence on making Claire a bigger character than she needed to be. Frank was the clear lead in seasons 1 and 2 and every season since then theyve been forcing the story to be more and more about Claire (with additions like the annoying Yates storyline). Whats most annoying is they are trying to make her the lead by making her become more and more like Frank (killing Yates, breaking the 4th wall), and it just isnt paying off IMO. I like Robin Wright in this series, but Spacey is a far more interesting lead.
The other thing that pissed me off was the whole "Underwood 2016-2036" quote that was even in the trailer but they just never explained what the plan was. I thought Claire being the VP was stupid and another example of forcing her into a bigger role...but hearing that Frank was planning a monarchy type rule made it a little more interesting. But the fact that they didnt even bother to explain how he planned on having the 2 of them serve 6 straight terms was a big let down for me. [/spoil]
