Characters that people care about are an odd thing; it's no less subjective than any other aspect of fiction, yet people treat it otherwise. I've watched shows with the most uninteresting characters that get universal praise for their characters. I've found interest in characters people seem to hate. Here's the thing about House of Cards: it's fun to watch Frank be a slithering bastard and get away with it. He's good at it, and the show's well-written enough to really let you see how he works and how he succeeds. If you're not rooting for the bad guy, you're not rooting for anyone. I can understand not liking it, but I don't understand why you think it's garbage.
