There is no need to rush after the first episode. Watch the premiere, and continue a few hours later or even the next day.
The drama that House of Cards viewers have come to expect quickly picks up and remains steady throughout the season, highly encouraging fans to once again take on the task of watching the 13 chapters straight through, nonstop, with lots of popcorn - maybe with some company, maybe not.īut for the fans who will be opting against a sleepless weekend, here is the best way to space out watching the season.
Picking up right where last season’s finale left off, the first episode opens up with President Underwood figuring out how to handle Claire’s ultimate betrayal. The Netflix political drama introduced the binge-watching phenomenon when it first launched in 2013 and today, fans will once again commit to marathon-watching with the release of the show’s entire fourth season. Show creator Beau Willimon has always left fans wanting more - and Season 4 is no exception. In a show where murder happens as casually as a sneeze and one corrupt politician does whatever it takes to sustain his power, fans can’t simply watch one episode and then carry on with the rest of their day. Witnessing Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) toss Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) in front of a train isn’t an episode to pause after that infamous threesome with Frank, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) and Meechum (Nathan Darrow) left fans disturbed and yet wanting more. Why? Because from the start of the Frank and Claire saga, viewers couldn’t stop streaming. House of Cards helped to transform the way people consume TV.
