Anyone else started watching the new series? Just seen the first one. It was ok. I totally get why there is no Kevin Spacey but its like watching an episode of Dallas without JR Ewing. Lacking the major element. I hope by the end I'm wrong.

I didn�t realise there was a new series airing just yet. I will miss Kevin Spacey/ frank though as well.

We�ve just watched th first one and thought it was ok, it is not the same without Frank but I think We will warm to Claire and I�m sure she can be just as devious.

I'm a few episodes in now. It's like eating your favourite chocolate bar with the wrapper still on.

I've watched a few episodes and although I understand why there is no Frank it is just not the same. Will keep watching though.

To be honest, I gave up! For me, I loved how they worked together, Frank and Clare and I don�t think she can carry this on her own because he was such a big part of the show. I completely agree, it�s like watching Dallas with no JR, lol. I couldn�t watch all of the first episode. I used to be gripped as to what would happen next. I was past caring very quickly

So difficult to talk about the ending without spoiling it. Going to use two sentences at the very bottom of this post.

Totally pointless and disappointing. Has a TV series ever ended so unresolved?

I've watched it all and must say I enjoyed it. It was a bit confusing in parts but it was when Frank was in it too. I think this was always going to be the last series but there was no way Kevin Spacey could be in it any more no matter how fantastic he was at playing the role. I think the remaining actors did a very good job and of course they'd have to change the story to fit in with the characters personalities.
