i can see that, i started watching it a little over a month ago on a whim and wound up watching the first 8 episodes in the first night, and was totally hooked, but after the first season i was excited to get time to watch more episodes but never got into it the same way where i would watch for hours in a row

This has never been a great show, but season 3 was definitely an improvement over 2.

I like the focus on Doug, but sometimes the show drags when it focuses on him. The Putin stand-in was the highlight of the season.

I'm looking forward to Season 4, but Season 3 kinda bothered me.

I think Robin Wright is the best part of this show and I had been hoping she would be a bigger focus. That was more or less delivered last season, but her talent was kinda betrayed by Claire's weak storyline.

So I hope Frank just comes back nastier than ever and we get an epic amount of bloodshed.

I hope Frank kills his wife, gets away with it and is then assassinated. End of series.

I had the same impression. I guess any way to remove the stench of last season's terribleness is okay though. I'll keep watching. It's not a big investment.

I almost had a wtf moment early on though.
Spoiler: show
I thought Zoe was alive for a second when she walked through the doors. Turned out to just be Neve Campbell.
