I really enjoyed the first season. I've recommended the show lots of people and am looking forward to the second season, but frankly,
Spoiler!
I was disappointed that they chose to have Underwood kill Peter Russo. First, I know Underwood is conniving and ruins people's lives, but that's different from him being a killer. If Russo had just gone on an epic bender and killed himself in a DUI accident, fine, but having Underwood do the deed just felt like it was going too far. And second, I liked Russo. I think he was a great character, and I think it would have been much more interesting to watch everyone deal the aftermath of Russo's drunken radio interview than to simply have Russo eliminated. That felt like a misstep to me in an otherwise excellent season.
