Can you elaborate where you think they went wrong? I think the show is still going great, i just dont know how they are gonna get out of this mess though
If you cant see the problems no real point elaborating on them. Was just wondering if there had been some staff change at the higher levels or something. Or else some event which would cause them to go off the rails.
Completely disagree.
Writing has been fantastic, the whole way through. Much more then just "okay".
You appear to be in the minority thinking the show's writing isn't outstanding.
Which is fine. Totally your opinion.
The writing really isnt fantastic, at all, never mind in s4. There are so many huge problems, but lets just look at Claire Underwood's character and actions because they are one of the most blatant problems.
She has failed, dramatically, at everything we have ever seen her attempt. The one thing that didnt completely blow up in her face only defused itself because she threatened to kill her opponents child and had the means to do it.
She somehow thinks this makes her qualified to be a diplomat, which in and of itself is insane (I'm no diplomat, but I am pretty sure threatening the other deligate's children is the sort of thing which doesnt work), but then the writers bring up many of the flaws in this idea and they get handwaived off. Her stint as a dimplomat fails like everything else we have seen her do and then instead of realizing how she failed and maybe trying to change herself to fit she decides she should instead be the vice presidential candidate for her husbands election campaign. Which itself is *beep* mental, but made worse by the fact that nearly all of her problems come directly from her, and she is intelligent enough to understand that, but she never acts on it.
And to force him into it she destroys his campaign, irrevocably damaging it but because it is a show you know that some magical nonsense will be pulled out of someones arse and the day will be saved. Like it always is in this show (shot child to end the teacher strike anyone?).
Thats the thing, as insane as her character and actions are, she is only one part of the way the writing has broken its own spine to shove its head up its arse in the most recent 2 series. And the writing was never all that great, (especially towards the end of the Tusk storyline) which makes the massive drop in quality even more glaring.
You cant just ignore it with "bla bla bla opinion." Are any of these very real issues entirely subjective? Of course not.
