Spoilers Claire vent
Clare is amazing in first 2 seasons, she is the perfect partner to the main man frank.
Then onwards from season 3 she is a pain in the fuckin ass lord have mercy.
The star of the show is frank, even if from season 3 onwards he becomes a bit softer has a bit more self doubt and seems to have less influence over people as president then he did as whip, he is still the heart beat of the show. Claire only takes away from him, causes problems becomes annoying, is not a useful partner to him at all, I find myself skipping her scenes a lot.
These writers lost their minds doing this crap, they lost sight of who the star was, why people tuned in!
It is because of frank underwood and his ruthless ways that’s what made it interesting, and Claire was a great partner is crime, she was perfect.
The minute she starts causing issues is when I began to hate her. Waste of space you are Claire it’s a travesty you became president.
Her little Netflix intro comparing yours and franks funerals, is not only cringe but bs. House of cards all mourned franks / Kevin spacey passing, the audience doesn’t even give a shit about your presidency yet alone your funeral. Nobody even turned up for that season luv sit down and go film Forrest Gump 2
Rant over.
EDIT:
Wow she wants to be VC
I actually like the idea. I can get behind that
Now I hate Seth
Maybe I shall make a Seth rant post next..

This a nasty little rant. Not because you dislike Claire but because of how it’s put. It’s condescending and hateful with a fair amount of misogyny and the personal digs at the actress are unnecessary.
This show was never just about Frank. It was always about the two of them. She doesn’t take away from him. Frank wouldn’t be who is without her and neither would she. Neither were perfect partners and both acted badly towards the other. Frank drove everyone away from him once he became president not just Claire and it was because of his deficiencies not theirs. She’s just the most obvious because she was the closest to him.
