One consistent criticism of Netflix's "House of Cards" has been that ruthlessly ambitious Frank and Claire Underwood have never faced a rival worthy of their underhanded, Machiavellian brilliance.
Finally, in the fourth season of this soapy political drama, they do: each other.
That's a prevailing theme of the series' latest run. When we left Kevin Spacey's President Underwood and his first lady Macbeth, Claire, (Robin Wright), he was locked in a tough re-election campaign and she, weary of being used for his political gain, was leaving him.
This season continues that re-election battle -- and the Underwoods' spat -- at a time when the U.S. is embroiled in its own fractious, stranger-than-fiction presidential campaign. The show introduces some new famous faces, including Neve Campbell as a political operative, Cicely Tyson as a veteran Texas lawmaker and Ellen Burstyn as Claire's chilly mother.
