House of Cards creator Beau Willimon has responded to criticism of season three, saying he is glad the show is polarising fans.
Willimon told Entertainment Weekly that the show's decision to delve more emotionally into characters is "not everyone's cup of tea".
He said: "We also made a very clear choice to delve into the emotional journey of fewer characters this season, specifically Francis, Claire, and Stamper, although we do so with others as well, which meant we were going to have less narrative real estate for political machinations and intrigue, which was a definite choice, and it's not everyone's cup of tea.
"If it was easy for Frank, if he didn't stumble, if he didn't fail, then the show would become a parody of itself, and I'm not interested in that.
"I don't want to repeat ourselves, and I'd rather take the risk of some people saying 'Where's the House of Cards from seasons one and two?' then play it safe and just become repetitious.
"So I think it's a little polarising this season among the audience but I think that's a good thing," he continued. "The heart of this show has always been the marriage.
"This season we wanted to unabashedly explore that fully and that's the route we took. Of course that's gonna lead to certain stylistic and tonal choices."
Willimon also described the third season of the show as intimidating and scary to go into. "Sure, of course [it's intimidating]," he said.
"I hope every season is intimidating and scary as we go into it. That was the case for season two, and season one as well since none us had...done it before [Laughs].
"But what I say to all the writers as we start breaking a season, is by the end of the season I want us to be completely out of ideas. We don't have a single idea left on the table.
"I want us to walk away from breaking the final episode going, 'What the...are we gonna do? We have nothing left, there's no more gas in the tank.' That forces you in the next season to tap into your imagination in a vigorous way again."
All 13 episodes of House of Cards season three are available on Netflix.
