I'm watching it too. Went back to the previous season to see how it ended because we seem to have made a big jump in the story. I finally decided an explanation of what happened to Frank Underwood is going to be doled out to us in little bits. One of the things I don't like about the plot line is it doesn't make sense that the 'president' would totally check out of doing absolutely anything for 23 or so days, and it wouldn't make much of a ripple - they should be showing us how chaotic it is for the country to run itself, and how the various underlings are coping or not coping with it. They don't need to harp on the chaos, but it's not very believable to not even mention the problems. But then, she comes up with the all-woman cabinet, so looks like she was doing *something* in the background.

And yes, I miss Kevin Spacey in the Frank Underwood role for the reasons you said.

Have you watched "Designated Survivor" on Netflix?

I haven't watched at all. I mostly just read. Too bad that so many men abused their power.

don't watch netflix - kevin spacy yes he is a good actor

I didn't watch House of Cards but I liked Kevin Spacey and admired his work. I'm sorry about his problem.

Spacey is an excellent actor but he did abuse his power though how much wasn't consensual is something we won't know and I feel his career is over for good.
