Synopsis House of Cards: Season 4 Episode 1
Clare's absence causes problems for Frank on the campaign trail amid rumors of a marital rift. Claire tries to strike out on her own.
Review :
A mostly promising start; definitely an improvement over Season 3.
The problem with the third season of House of Cards is that the show's premise was no longer viable; the show was built on the idea of the political race, everyone fighting for the top spot. All the characters, arcs, and dynamics were made to serve that story. However, when Frank won at the end of the second season, they couldn't follow that format any longer because the show's destination had been achieved.
So, they were forced to tell a different story, one that the characters weren't designed to be written into. And so the season felt hollow, despite the great actors and high production values. This season seems like it has the potential to change that. The episode set up a lot of story lines. Some felt like season 3 plot lines, others felt very promising. If they focus on the Frank vs. Claire and election stories, this could really feel like the first two seasons.
At this point, the season could go either way. It could just be season 3 all over again. But, there are some very interesting new things set up here. The one thing I really wish had been in this episode but wasn't was a "hook". If you are designing a series to be binged, you have to throw some sort of large intrigue into the first episode. Take the season two premiere, for example. That was an amazing hook.
Anyways, this is a potentially very solid start. I think and hope this season will be a good one.
