    Went to post the S3 date and was surprised to see nobody had made a thread for this yet.

    Anyway, Feb 27th!

    Season one was pretty good but after reading @WPG's thoughts on Season 2 I didn't even bother.

    Looking forward to the new season. I enjoyed watching S1 and S2. Although, I wonder how much longer the show is going to last given where the story is headed.

    Good show, but the whole notion of one man climbing the ranks as fast as he did, is ridiculous. Will watch though.

    A show can have a weak season and rebound. I wouldn't let someone make up your mind for you.

    GOAT show.

    Season 1 was slow, but Season 2 took it to the next level.

    Show as a whole is engaging you're in to these type of shows.

    It's obviously not supposed to be a absolutely realistic political show like say The West Wing, but its still a great show.

    I expect the new season to be less focused on him trying to rise up
    I mean how much more powerful can he try to become now that hes President.
    and go back to just being a great show. I'm sure their aware if everyone's criticism of S2.

    You'll likely find it more enjoyable if you watch the whole thing in 1-2 days. Season 2 has flaws, and they become more glaring if you have time to think about them. But, as a whole, I think the season wasn't that bad at all.

    I liked the first few eps of S2 but it had sooooo much f---ing filler after that.

    Lmao that's probably because those reviews you're seeing are only of the first few episodes, not the entire season
    S1 is easily better than the s2

    Haven't seen the ratings per episode. I was assuming you were reading those early reviews because if you go to meta critic or anything, the reviews that are counted are all those early ones. Which is pretty stupid

    tv reviews tend to be reactionary in a dumb zeitgeist-y way

    Season 1 is better, but season 2 is still entertaining and better than 95% of current shows.

    Anyone who hasn't watched it, I'd encourage you to do so and make up your own mind.

    Season 2 reviews:

    (Note that season 2 actually averaged more positive reviews than season 1.)

    You haven't seen truly terrible TV if you think season 2 is s---.

    EDIT: And I don't even like season 2.
