I guess I'm in the minority, I liked it better than S2. It might have felt slow watching one episode a week but for a three day binge I had no issue with the pacing.
S1 >= S2 > S3
On par for the course, really. Frank's scheming to get to the top was obviously going to be the best part of the show; no one should have expected him at the top to somehow be better than the power grab grind itself. The reason why the story seems like a drag to most people is because they did not recognize the change in pacing of the story. Frank had done away with or converted all of his major enemies in season 1 & 2, so with it goes the high octane pacing of the story. He made the Presidency. There is no where to go but downwards and or plateauing, which is all of what season 3 (and possibly season 4) was about, so with it comes the more pragmatic pacing that day-to-day Oval Office work is known for. Frank does bring back his epicness by episode 2-3 however.
I did love how much of season paralleled real life (Oval Office circumventing Congress, LBJ throwbacks, second term campaigning, ISIS chatter, US/Russia relations, hurricane disaster relief, etc). I appreciated the season because even if all of it is fabricated, it gives everyone a taste of the going-ons of the Oval Office could be like on a day-to-day basis and exactly why the job gives all of our Presidents grey hairs in the first place.
Season 4 should be great now that his greatest enemy has potentially been revealed.
I liked it, but there were a couple of things that I felt were done pretty poorly / wasted time.

Oh and one more thing about him that really annoyed me
Spoiler: show

Was enjoyable but nowhere near as good as the other 2 seasons. Saw the final "twist" coming from a mile away.

I feel like this is gonna be the throwaway season that could've been done in a few episodes based on all the development we got.
