Netflix的政治剧《纸牌屋》第二季俨然而成为电视剧最差剧本之一，或许并不真正是电视领域，管它呢。整个故事线路漏洞百出，或许这还真是继承了《纸牌屋》这三个字的风格，跟纸一样簿弱的剧情很容易就被挑出诟病。无论无何，本人是不买账的。

在第二季里，弗兰克.安德伍德通过一系列错综复杂的密谋迫使总统辞职，从而使得其顺利入主白宫。但问题是：本剧有意引导观众认为--弗兰克和妻子手段高明、老谋深算，并努力将其它人所饰演的角色打造得合理合体，然而事实上还是乏善可陈，竞争对手个个都显得愚笨透顶。

总统在大部分剧集看起来很是盲目相信弗兰克，直到第二季后半部中的某一集，他忽然醒悟过来，发现了弗兰克是个为得权利而不择手段的肮脏小人。不过，后来却仅仅是因为弗兰克的一封承认了某个过错看似掏心置腹的信件而回心转意。除此以外，在第二季末的那个巨大的丑闻应该（事实上确实是）留有弗兰克的指纹，不过看起来，弗兰克似乎对所有不利的指控通通免疫，只需要发布一个记者会就能将一切摆平。

上面这些还不算最为匪夷所思的，最大的糟点是在第二季首播集，弗兰克出其不意地谋杀了Zoe，干净利落地将其从火车站台推下，而警察居然判定这是一起自杀事件，仅以一段监控录像作为依据。事实上，警察完全可以将录像视频倒回一分钟，便不难发现一个穿着腰带大衣的神秘的男人与Zoe谈话，以及Zoe跟着这个男人转到墙后，紧接着就跳向疾驰而过的火车被辗压。就凭这点，就足以令警方展开相应调查，然而此事却被放到一边，不管不问了。看来，编剧根本就不在意这些细节，只是想着如何让剧情加快节奏，不管情节上是否设置合理。

以上这些就是《纸牌屋》的糟点，不仅弗兰克.安德伍德一心想要争权夺利，纸牌屋的编剧们也是一根筋想要弗兰克在第二季结尾当上总统，不管是否存在逻辑和故事线索的硬伤和漏洞。

以下为职业影视评论人疯狂吐糟英文原本：

The second season of this Netflix political drama proved that it may be the worst-written show on all of TV (well, it's not actually on TV, but whatever). The whole story is filled with massive plot holes. Maybe that's the point, that the show itself is a house of cards, with flimsy construction and easily torn apart. But either way, I'm not buying it.

In season 2, Frank Underwood completed a complex plot to force the president to resign, thus allowing him to take over the Oval Office. The problem is that the show wants us to think that Frank and his wife are manipulative masterminds when, in reality, every single other character on the show is just painfully stupid.

The president seems to completely and blindly trust Frank for most of the series, until one episode he finally wakes up and realizes that Frank is a sleazy, awful human being who will do anything to gain power. But then a single letter from Frank acknowledging one of his flaws gives the president a complete change of heart. On top of that, the big scandal at the end of the season 2 should (and, realistically, does) have Frank's fingerprints all over it, yet he seems to be completely immune from any of the charges of wrongdoing. All it takes is one schmoozing interview with a journalist to make everything OK.

But that's not the worst part. The worst part came in the season 2 premiere with the shocking and exhilarating murder of Zoe Barnes as Frank pushed her in front of a subway train. The police ruled it a suicide and had video footage of the event to prove it. Surely the cops would've rewound that video 60 seconds to see a mysterious man in a trenchcoat talk to Zoe, walk behind a wall, then see Zoe follow him behind that wall only to "jump" to her death immediately after. At the very least, that should've led to some type of investigation, but instead it was tossed aside and ignored, probably because the show's writers didn't care about that character and storyline anymore and wanted to move on without it having any implications to the plot.

That's the problem with House of Cards. Not only is Frank Underwood single-minded in his quest for power, but the show's writers also seem single-minded. They wanted Frank to become the president at the end of season 2 and logic or gaping plot holes weren't going to stop them.
