Didn't Kevin Spacey directly kill multiple people over the course of House of Cards to suddenly end a plot thread?

Yeah, there was at least the one lady he pushed onto the tracks right as the subway came in that I remember distinctly. Ice cold.

I think their point was that in HCF, the off the wall dramatic swings felt more like jumping the shark. In HoC, it felt totally in character for Spacey to do that. It was just better written and acted, despite the intensity of the violence being much higher, because it made sense in the context of the story, and it didn’t in HCF, at least not to me.
