Boostin' Kev Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Fell asleep during 2nd half of first episode. Didn't seem too good from what I saw. Will probably give it a miss now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Watched the first episode and fell asleep halfway through, doesn't bode well. Thought the fourth season was quite a bit better than the third, which was bollocks, but watching it back recently the first season shits all over the rest, it's really not lived up to the potential it should have.

Boostin' Kev Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 4th season was really good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Fell asleep during the finale and I have no desire to go back and watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Hibee Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I watched half of the first episode from the fifth season last night, & I must say that it was pretty underwhelming in comparison to season four. I also felt that the scene that included Frank making his 'plea' in the house of representatives to be a tad dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Watched the first two episodes of series five last night. Very meh. Hoping it gets better as it goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just finished it. Must admit I am shocked they didn't end it this series. Dear knows where they go from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I've binged my way through the new series this week and I thought it was back to near the shows best to be honest. My only complaint would be that it almost felt as though they ran out of room towards the end. Lots happened very quickly. Could almost have done with another episode or two.

Ludo*1 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm not gonna read above for sake of spoilers so please quote my post if you reply to me please. Really, really struggled to get into this. Didn't get the hype for several years. Forced myself to watch it and after the 3rd episode I was hooked. Absolutely loving it and rattled through to season 3. Doug Stamper is one of my favourite episodes but the first episode of season 3 completely bored me, to the point where I've tried watching it 3 times and yet to finish the episode. I'll eventually get through it but is there hope that it improves? Hope it's not a dud of a season. Meechum's relationship with the Underwood's is interesting and I think it's quite clear that Frank is homosexual? I saw that there was some discussion online about it. I don't really know why it's a 'thing' but it's interesting due to the fact that Kevin Spacey's sexuality is a little bit ambiguous in real life so I imagine he enjoys playing with that concept of is he/isn't he. Anyways cracking drama but jaded after that first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Season 3 was weaker. 4 is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 4 was very decent but imo Season 5 is a complete load of nothing, fell asleep numerous times during it. A long and unpleasant binge on that one for me. Hope they end it soon tbh.

Christophe Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Didn't think 5 was all that bad as being suggested here and elsewhere online. The show has fallen away overall from the excellent first two seasons but thought 5 was as good as there has been since then... I'd go 2,1,5,4,3 as order of preference in seasons for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just finished season 5. Spoiler What the hell is up with this show? 4 seasons of him reaching the top, always determined to stay there...and now? Gives it all up for some vague sense of power in the private sector?? Utter bollocks, jumped the shark, it has really lost me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'm still struggling my way through season five. Got about three episodes and can't be bothered. Just a really boring season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Too slow in the first half of the season, too fast in the second half. Not sure I find the last couple of episodes all that believable either, due to the point raised by scottsdad in the spoiler above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Watched episode 1 of series 5 and wasn't impressed at all. Read the spoiler above and glad I decided not to bother watching it. I might eventually watch it if there is nothing else on at all but will devote my time to the new series of OITNB for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I watched half of the first episode of series 5 and turned it off. Is it worth me persevering with this series or should I give up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Was wondering the same. Fell asleep during the first episode and have been put off watching the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Got to the end of season five and by that point literally gave zero fucks about any of the characters. The fact it's set up for yet another season is a farce and can't say I'll be continuing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
