10 Problems With House Of Cards Nobody Wants To Admit

10. Kevin Spacey Sounds Like Foghorn Leghorn

Why exactly Kevin Spacey's character, Congressman (later Vice President) (later President) Frank Underwood has to be from South Carolina is a mystery. Maybe the writers had some special place in their heart from the Southern state. Maybe a Democrat from the stereotypically right-leaning States was interesting. Maybe they just really wanted to do that weird episode about the women who died because she was texting and then drove into that water tower shaped like a peach that is an actual, real-life thing that exists in the real-life town of Gaffney, South Carolina. Spacey is a fantastic actor, nobody's debating that. He's also rather good accents. But there's no getting around the fact that Frank Underwood's voice has something of the Foghorn Leghorn about it, and even when he's strangling dogs it's like a Looney Tunes character has stumbled onto Capitol Hill.
