I tried not to compare the UK and US versions as they are set in totally different eras and with very different politics but there are just some things you can't forgive. We all love a cliffhanger and the more dramatic the better. Having bumped off Russo, Frank should have at least targeted one of the two female journalists for his fury. The UK version went for the Zoe Barnes equivalent character (Mattie Storin), much to the shock of the viewing nation. When I saw how callous UK version's Francis Urquhart was as he killed Mattie Storin it made me shiver to the bone and make my blood boil. I could not wait to see him get his cum-uppance in Season 2.
Sadly, that shock was missing from this version and though I will watch Season 2 with glee I won't be expecting the producers to deliver any shock and awe, which is a pity because Spacey is a great character actor. The US version is already longer than the tighter UK version and it needs some real conspiracy nasties to prevent it from faltering. I thought Zoe's new boyfriend was pointing the show in the right direction when he stressed to Zoe that he had death threats for a year after trying to uncover police corruption but it was all just a ruse. I felt rather defloated when I found that this was the season finale. Needs an episode 14 where either Zoe or one of her two journo compatriats get topped.moreless
Francis realises that Zoe is now a danger to his plans as he struggles to keep them on track. Meanwhile, Claire is worried about choices she has made in the past and those that she will need to make soon.
