![]() ![]() I have not found this series easy viewing, it is not that it has shudder value, thankfully, but it is deep and disturbing, thankfully with the safety of a long lense, the drama seems removed, thankfully yet relevant and the relevance for now in election year, really sets in strong for Season 4. The high caliber acting is not limited to him, every actor involved in the production gives a deep richness to every scene. ![]() Kevin Spacey gives the gravity of Shakespearean drama to every phrase, singing his lines with the most beautifully figured American enunciation. If you haven't time for the other series, jump in for this one and ooh, what a story. Someone so extreme elected to the White House? As though that could ever be! Here Underwood continues to make asides to the camera, exposing his real intentions - never more chillingly than at the close of this brilliant fourth season. Inevitably thoughts are provoked about what really goes on behind the scenes in American politics, how great the gap between public facade and reality. Then there is the ticking timebomb of Underwood's past crimes, investigative reporters slowly but surely homing in on the truth.Īs ever, taut scripts and superb performances - characters portrayed unnervingly credible. That needs to be sorted, her own ability to manipulate not to be underestimated. Undermining Underwood's campaign is his disintegrating marriage to Claire. Cue for dirty tricks, carefully orchestrated embarrassing disclosures, any ruse to undermine those who pose a threat (hints of violence included). Current incumbent Frank Underwood will stop at nothing to retain power. This could scarcely be more topical, set in the Primaries leading to 2016's November Presidential Election.
