House of Cards: Chapter 8 (2013)
Episode 8, Season 1
A seemingly rushed episode
13 March 2017 - 7 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
There's good reason this is the lowest rated episode of the entire series.
Awkward singing moments with past alumni (I'm a former Marine and was slightly confused over them doing the Marines' Hymn), unconvincing 'drunk' acting, a laughably bad 'fight' and make-up scene, and some very sloppy editing hinder this episode from being on the scale as the rest.
The script is constantly transitioning and departing before any of the scenes have time to gain traction.
Peter Ross should be gaining viewer's respect but the rushed portrayal of his scenes really just leaves me not caring.
Minor plot holes that won't be noticed by many are sprinkled throughout.
Watching this episode feels more like a chore than entertainment.
