Why was House of Cards Season 3 such a disappointing trainwreck?

Why?

I thought Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing but then it all just takes a complete nosedive with Season 3. It was almost as if the new writers never even saw the first 2 seasons. The cast all seemed different to me too, like there were missing something from the previous seasons. I did really like President Petrov however. What do you think? Did you like season 3 or did you think it was terrible?

It wasn't terrible. It just wasn't as good as the first 2 seasons

It felt like a writer change, I don't know if that was the cause of it but one of the impressions I got was that the entire season revolved around hamstringing Underwood.

I guess you could dress it up fancily and go blah blah something showing how the most powerful man on earth is not so powerful after all blah blah blah but I honestly didn't want some sanctimonious bullshite, I wanted Kevin Spacey shaping the YooEssAyy in his image and some good banter with the russkie that was totesnotputin.

I wasn't sure if this was supposed to go in flood or serious.

Yeah that's basically what I wanted to see too. I don't know why this new director felt the need to replace the old writers from Seasons 1 and 2 with completely new ones. The new director and writers I think was probably why the show took a nosedive.

Idk, I didn't like how their wasn't really any advancement in Frank's position, like in the previous two seasons. Claire is always a bitch but she goes extreme bitch in this one.

I really think Kevin Spacey was his best in Season 3 though. Acting wise.
