Joel Kinnaman is TERRIBLE

The 4th season of House of Cards is amazing is every level. Except for Joel Kinnaman's Terrible performance. Every time he gives a political speech it is so *beep* fake.
Why the heel did they do this?

Yes, he is a poor speech giver. Also the character comes across as terrible smug and arrogant. Why would anyone vote for him?.

I like him. He plays a good *beep*

Why does no one complain about Neve's [lack of] acting abilities? Because she's hot, I guess? Her skirts/jackets are so tight I worry the seams will burst.

Seriously?? Why would anyone vote for a smug and arrogant person?

You haven't been watching the news lately, have you? :)

He was perfect for that character. Fixated on filming his family's every move. Completely arrogant. The idea is he's too young to realize that Frank plays the game better

His acting is pretty wooden. Though his douchebaggish looks do fit the part.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the OP..... that kid they picked to play his son, good god is he annoying.

And I like him here - crucify me now 😛
His character is suposed to be a calculated narcissistic attention loving a$$hole. Frank sees it very well and therefore is able to use it to his own advantage.

I don't know why you're complaining about Joel Kinnaman. I think he does a great job. I have no complaints at all.

He is a good actor, but he was better in "The Killing". ;)
