So who is watching & what do you think?
I watched the first three episodes last night.
So far I am a bit underwhelmed.
The plot seems a bit like Scandal.
I do love Neve Campbell and Cicely Tyson!

Underwhelmed also. I've watched the first 4 episodes and part of the 5th. It just doesn't have the edge/tension that the prior seasons had. But isn't Ellen Burstyn something as the first lady's mother? The apple didn't fall far from the tree!

It's okay...definitely not the same level of suspense/drama of the previous seasons....almost feels forced...I do like Neve Campbell, Cicely Tyson and Ellen Burstyn though.....they made it more interesting....

Really? I've watched through episode 6 and my friends and I think it's one of the best seasons yet.

We're on episode 9 and it's certainly gaining drama as it goes! We're loving it! I love Neve Campbell, too.

I have two episodes left and it gets better as you watch. Much better.
My favorite season thus far!

I think four is definitely better than three. I thought Season 3 dragged until the end. (on Ep. 5)

Well good to hear it improves because I'm a bit underwhelmed as at episode 5. Mind you, I was also a bit disappointed with season 3. I thought it lacked a lot of the drama of seasons 1 and 2.

They are fighting because he removed her from the post she had, I think Secretary of State? She screwed up negotiations with someone. I have a horrible memory so the details escape me but they had a huge fight about that and other things and Frank told her she was a nobody, nothing without him, etc.

I plowed through the last 7 episodes last night. I think the entire season was great. I loved the small arcs throughout and I never felt the season was dragging. It's my favorite since season 1. |

I just finished the first 4 episodes of this season. It's picking up now, but the first couple of episodes were slow. Kevin Spacey is amazing, as usual!

Whaaaaat? I had no idea. I loved him on The Killing. Have you seen Mireille Enos on the previews for her new show with Peter Krause? She looks completely unrecognizable to me. |

Can someone refresh on why that reporter from the first episode was in prison I vaguely remember him being framed but can't remember for what.
I am only on episode 2 but yeah KS is always amazing.
I keep waiting for Meecham to play a bigger role or have another tryst with KS.

Frank/Doug set him up for cyber crimes as a way of getting him out of the picture when he was investigating Zoe's death. They used someone to spin him a tale about a way to access phone messages and he was caught hacking into an AT &T server. |

Ok did I miss a part, why is Doug so infatuated with the widow that he gave $ too? I don't see how that fits in. I love that Remy and Jackie finally stood up to Frank, but I am sure he will wessel his way out.

Doug forced the UNOS lady to move Frank up on the list. |
