The season 4 of the political series is available in full since Friday, March 4 morning Netflix France (and more on Canal +). As good as the first episodes?
Warning, spoilers. If you have not seen Season 3 House of Cards , do not read on.
As Frank Underwood, Netflix has hidden his game yesterday, its representatives in France refused to confirm the information spread on social networks. after three seasons on Canal +, the VOD platform would get the French broadcasting House of Cards , its flagship series overseas. Rumor attested this Friday morning at 9am, with the appearance of the hexagonal version of Season 4 of site policy series (1).
These thirteen new episodes open on the evening which saw Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) at the end of season 3, leaving the White House and her husband (Kevin Spacey). Underwood, released in full campaign for the Democratic primary by a popular first lady, was roughed up in the polls by his rival Eather Dunbar (Elizabeth Marvel). He tells Doug Stamper, his Machiavellian right arm back to business (Michael Kelly), care to convince the press, and his opposition to the American people that all is well in his couple. What he does not know is that not only Claire no longer wants to be his wife, but she intends to stand against his opinion, in the riding of his family in Texas to enter Congress …
A balance between political and family drama season
the clash between Claire and Frank Underwood was expected since the first episodes of House of Cards . The couple stood for three seasons, but ultimately did not survive the jolts of power, to the tensions triggered by years of sacrifice – especially women – and to a geopolitical crisis with Russia which cost Claire’s post ambassador to the United Nations – crisis seems far from over. A challenge comes to screenwriters with this balance in season (even more than in the past) between political and family drama. privacy, they come into play Claire’s mother, Elizabeth (Ellen Burstyn), rich owner ruthless Texan with his daughter, but hate the President above all. A character that can reveal cracks in the new first lady. Frank is in turn more alone than ever, full of bitterness towards his wife, forced to calm his anxieties night to ask the faithful Meechum to keep him company …
Handling, low blows and con game
in the first episodes, House of Cards does not change its recipe. Even slow, even staging classy and somewhat mannered, even violence contained in the dialogues and emotions of the characters. political side, country requires, it is mainly about money and opportunistic alliances – the treatment of substantive issues has never been a strong point of the series. We are delighted to be further seeing up a showdown that might be tasty, between Underwood, each supported by a strong team. This is also almost a gender war looming, as the alter ego of Doug Stamper is a woman, Leann Harvey (Neve Campbell), Political Advisor debauched high price by Claire. From this season, manipulations, tricks, backstabbing, raining down in a set of promising fooled.
Claire and Frank are now equitably share the speaking time, and House of Cards gives more room than ever for its numerous secondary characters – including a ghost, enemy of the President, whose intentions are unclear for now. This season is even more intriguing is that it comes online in full during the US primaries, and we can hope that it tends to mirror the news – even if it is not question a double Trump Republican side, but compared to a young wolf Kennedy (Joel Kinnaman). Despite the weaknesses of the past two seasons, so it is likely to get caught by this new chapter, if only to follow the confrontation between two interesting characters – and their interpreters. Despite what will be an obvious climax, and the announced departure of showrunneur Series, Beau Willimon, Netflix has already ordered a season 5.
