“House of Cards”: Underwood against Underwood – ZEIT ONLINE

Nobody Donald Trump has to come up with more. It exists already in real. Among the followers of House Of Cards but the thirst seems to be hardly erased by Trump. Prior to the fourth series season was one of the most discussed questions, what the authors of the Political drama would probably make the Republican presidential candidate.

It’s election time, in real life as well as in the parallel universe of House Of Cards . So how would the series, whose success is based on the dramatization of the real everyday politics, broach a candidate who anticipates any parody basically?

is the answer: not at all. Although the House Of Cards tried -author Laura Eason in an interview with TIME about to make parallels between Trump and serial President Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey). But where would that lead? Underwood will remain in the new episodes of House Of Cards a politician of the back room, an intriguer, who forges alliances on time. Trump is, however, if at all, a politician of the lectern. A lone, in which one can hardly imagine what he does in backrooms ever. twiddle my thumbs? Ins Nothing rigid?



The better news

In order not to be disappointed by House Of Cards , you have to see, that the series on the paved with corpses to success of a democratic US president is not a reflection of real power and seducement in Washington. There are people who still believe that they used the Daily Show watched the satirist Jon Stewart and maintained for the better Tagesschau .

Here’s the great thing but House Of Cards that it is so unrealistic as unabashedly absurd and ridiculous. The series is pure escapism. It allows one to finally not to think of Donald Trump once.



A Republican wunderkind

this is true more for the fourth season of the Netflix-production than ever. House Of Cards embracing his destiny as soap opera, coinciding with the first episode it goes all: Sheer cancer and jail stories, the President comes barely to stretch his cabinet in front of their carts. The First Lady (Robin Wright) lets him sit, a political Undead returns, and the Russians also mucked up again. While Underwood’s party still rehearsing the withdrawal of love, tütet a Republican wunderkind already primary victory to primary victory.

This prodigy is Will Conway (Joel Kinnaman), a presidential candidate, the be – could actually come up with just the authors of a television series – unlike Trump. When Underwood morning by his medication, Conway fucks his wife in the bathroom mirror. Then he albert with the whole family around in the unmade bed, displaying video this bourgeois idyll on the Internet. Not even his dubious contacts with the data collectors of Silicon Valley seems to blame him popular. The candidate is a potent political beginning.
