You timed it well, IMO.

Yep. The first season was the best. The second started out incredibly strong and then waned. The third completely lost its way. Once he was president, it was like they were inventing personal stories rather than playing to the broader theme of Washington power... which meant it could have been a...

I think they lost me after Season 3. Clearly jumped the shark once he became president.

OK... finished watching S3 finally. I'd rate it a 5/10. Major drop on writing quality and interest when compared to S2 or especially S1. No political intrigue. No over-arching drama, save for the Russian premiere stuff which was the most interesting part of the season. Mostly personal drama...

OK, I finally finished Season 2. I have to say, it wasn't as good as Season 1 by a longshot. I think the plot layering got interestingly complicated by episode 8 or 9. But the last few episodes to me seemed weakly written, a bit chaotic, and with little more than a half-expected payoff. For me...

I get why NetFlix wants to release all episodes of a season at once. But I also think they are shooting themselves in the foot just to prove a point. Bandwidth constraints aren't the only reason why society has enjoyed TV serials at a released pace. A show like Breaking Bad would have never...

Finally bit the bullet and started last night in earnest. I knew it was coming ... just a matter of when. :D (It had me at "David Fincher.")
