Confession: We have a love/hate relationship with Frank Underwood. He’s so bad but he’s so fun to watch. House of Cards will officially return to Netflix for a third season on February 27th and as we gear up for more political drama, let’s take a look at our favorite White House manipulator. Why do we still root for him even after he’s said and done despicable things? Did we learn nothing from Walter White and Dexter Morgan? Guess we have a thing for anti-heroes. [Spoilers ahead!]
1. When he manipulated Peter Russo and then staged his death.
We felt bad for Peter, but he wasn’t free of sins either.
2. When he cheated on Claire with Zoe.
Claire is the most understanding wife of all time, and we guess we’re pretty understanding too because we forgave him for that.
3. When he killed Zoe in cold blood.
On the one hand, Zoe was super annoying. On the other hand, he PUSHED HER IN FRONT OF A TRAIN! Who saw that coming?
4. The Meechum threesome.
Can you even?! That Frank, Claire and Meechum hookup threw us for a loop but we had to admit it was one of those great jaw-dropping moments.
5. When Frank ruined things for Freddy.
We always liked Frank’s friendship with Freddy, but then he had to go and ruin it. No more barbecued ribs. Sad face.
6. When he says things like this:
And we’re all like, thank God you never spawned.
7. When he acts like he’s God.
Talk about a power trip!
8. Whenever he’s out for revenge.

We’d never want to be on his bad list, but it’s so fun to see how he deals with his enemies.
9. Every time he gives words of wisdom…because it’s always slightly creepy.
But he says things which such eloquence, right?
10. When he basically dismisses everything our country stands for.
11. When he expresses his views on sleep.
He’s always out for blood anyway, so that would just bring him one step closer to being a vampire.
12. When he killed that suffering dog.
Dude. That was rough.
13. Whenever he adds another secret to the pile.
How does he keep all of his secrets and lies straight?
14. The way he manipulated the president so he could become president.
He’s the leader of the free world right now. We’re both scared and excited.
Even after all this, we’re still dying to see what he does next!
