Don't get me wrong. I love FU, but he's a straight up villain protagonist
Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

That's kind of dark, Omen. He ruthlessly murdered two people that didn't deserve it. That's not really "hero" material.
What a phenomenal season! Just...non stop, on the edge of my seat storytelling. I love how they make seemingly insignificant characters feel like a necessity to the overall story.

I liked Season 3 a great deal but I think there will be some criticism because of the shift in focus from what we had in the first two seasons. It was surprising.
I felt like the overall story was the main purpose in season 1 and 2 (mission to become VP, mission to become POTUS). Season 3 is more focused on each characters emotional reflection to what they've done. Particularly, the relationship story between Frank and Claire ends up being the main plot (instead of what was expected - the overall story in the reelection plot).
Also, Frank's emotional reactions were much more deemphasized as compared to previous seasons. I liked that now with great power he is going up against other really powerful people who know what it takes such that he was meeting his match in many ways.

Have there been any interviews implying that's where they're going in season 4? I don't think that's where they'll go. I think they'll focus on how Frank can manage without his safety net. Claire bailed his ass out of a lot of situations he's gotten himself into with his emotional shortcomings. She's been his rock for 3 seasons. He pounded too hard and their relationship cracked. I really don't believe Claire would actively campaign against him. I think she just needed to leave. She feels overshadowed and under appreciated. I think it will be a how high can I fly by myself story for Claire in season 4. I hope they forgo a reconciliation and instead see if the two powerhouses can conquer whilst divided.
