I'm up to Esp. six. In the first two season I would watch three or four episodes at a time. This year it's pretty much one a night or every other night. Frank and Claire were a lot more interesting when they were scheming for power. Now in power they are flat out boring. Peace in the middle east and full employment? Really heath care and Iraq weren't hopeless enough. Also the lack of any type of B plot hurts a lot. Everything is focus on the Underwoods. In season one and two you had the newspaper investigation, drunk congressman and hookers, ego driven billionaires, power hungry aids etc. Now it's just Frank and Claire.
