I just finished watching season 5 and it just seemed to be that it wasn't good. I couldn't really put my finger on it until I read this vox review
House of Cards season 5 review: Netflix?s drama plays differently in 2017 ? but the reason has little to do with Trump - Vox
There is the problem with house of cards Frank spent all this time to become president and now what? And they don't really seem to have an answer.
Characters on*House of Cards*don’t attain power to enact policy. They attain power to get even more power. Nobody has an ethos or something they want to do — not even something as venal as, “Attain power to make myself incredibly rich.” People are addicted to the idea of control, but control they can enact through weird constitutional loopholes.
The biggest difference between Frank Underwood and Donald Trump isn’t that Frank is more competent — it’s that on some level, Trump seems to want to use the presidency to do stuff and help people. Frank just wants to be president to be president
