More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for House of Cards Season 3 All Critics (54) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (14) This series dwindles into sleek, well-oiled, smoothly professional office drama, a beautiful example of ensemble playing with Robin Wright's Claire the equal of her husband. But not more than a couple of episodes at a time. May 2, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Martin Hoyle Financial Times Top Critic Wright... remains one of the best parts of the series, while Underwood's bottomless appetite for dark dealing keeps Spacey so deliciously detestable you can't help but keep rooting for the bad guy to win. Mar 3, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Don Kaplan New York Daily News Top Critic With the cupboard bare, Willimon does his best to inject some residual humanity into House of Cards in Season 3. But it's awfully hard to retroactively Frankenstein a human heart into what is essentially a monster show. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic The season starts extremely slowly, but gets pretty good, starting in the third episode. It never reaches the dark, dramatic heights of previous seasons, but it's also a little more focused and intelligent than they were. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic Top Critic House of Cards benefits from hurried viewing. It keeps you from noticing how much of a political soap opera it really is, or questioning who to root for, since every major character is just different shades of self-obsessed and power-hungry. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic As I would never underestimate Frank's ability to change the course of events with a quick sleight of hand, I wouldn't count out the show's writers quite yet. I will definitely be streaming the entire season this weekend. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Jethro Nededog TheWrap Top Critic The show has not just jumped the proverbial/cliché shark. It has lost its reason for being and it verges on the unwatchable. Oct 19, 2018 | Full Review… Stephen Marche Esquire Magazine House of Cards no longer has much to say about itself. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 12, 2018 | Full Review… Daniel Krauze El Financiero Season three is an awfully late point at which to pivot into character drama. Nov 14, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff Vox It can easily be said that season three is a step up from the previous season, and it ends up being for a very basic reason: the intrigue has returned in force and is simply more engaging than what season two had to offer. Jul 6, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Jeff Beck The Blu Spot View All Critic Reviews (54) Audience Reviews for House of Cards: Season 3 Apr 08, 2019 We get deeper in the characters of the Underwoods and their chief of staff Doug Stamper. At this point, it feels like been there done that, the show is fast becoming a ridiculous political drama. Mayank A Dec 31, 2018 This show just keeps getting better and better! Dec 29, 2018 With Robin Wright's character becoming a more prominent presence, S3 remains a gripping political drama that involves a much deeper character dissection. Ryan C Dec 23, 2018 The third season takes a major step back, the last few episodes this seems entirely like a marital drama. Sure their relationship has always been key to the show but here they start to act like children without any sense, they are not the powerful couple we saw in S1 but the problem isn't there, it's the reason behind it, it feels entirely like the sole reason they are fighting each other is to give the show something to rely on, and that plot isn't nearly as good as the previous two seasons. Ruy W Dec 16, 2017 Puntaje Original:7.3 Esta temporada nos trae cosas tan interesantes como: los problemas de un presidente con su esposa, relaciones internacionales conflictivas, problemas internos tanto en el país como en el congreso. En resumen todo lo que hace un presidente normalmente. Ayrton C Aug 12, 2017 The best drama show about politics, hands down. Intrigues, crimes, sex, White House. Pavel B Jul 29, 2017 Despite being familiar,the cast is still top notch. It's nice to see a desperate Frank and Claire with a crumbling marriage. joseph h Nov 13, 2016 Puntaje Original: 7.3 Esta temporada nos trae cosas tan interesantes como: los problemas de un presidente con su esposa, relaciones internacionales conflictivas, problemas internos tanto en el país como en el congreso. En resumen todo lo que hace un presidente normalmente. Ayrton Anthony C Sep 10, 2016 Season 3 lays off the gas pedal a little bit and has its slow parts. There are some subplots of this I couldn't care less about. Still worth a watch though. Ryan H Aug 28, 2016 After 1st and 2nd season, 3rd felt like a drag Raitis V See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
