Featured reviews
Frank Underwood is what this show was all about. Its a sin to imagine this show without Kevin Spacey... Netflix, you destroyed such a wonderful show..
There should be a petition to reshoot s06 now Spacey has been cleared of any wrongdoing. The 6th season was already written with Sir Spacey as the main character. Netflix owes all the fans of this show some closure. I have refused to watch the 6th season for years now, waiting for the real life trial. One of the greatest actor in history was outcasted without a trail. Now 6 years, 2 presidents and a couple of wars later the fans deserve some closure. How many Netflix subscriptions were bought because of house of cards? Spacey was not the first and will not be the last victim of Netflix their cancel culture, it is time to right a wrong!
House of Cards really is as good as everyone says and I now understand why it won so many awards! I just watched this recently with all the free time because of the pandemic and I'm mad at myself for waiting so long. I originally gave it a try years ago but was bored the few episodes and stopped, this time I powered through and became addicted to the show. I have to agree with most others here that the show dropped off a lot after Kevin Spacey left (or was fired). Spacey and Robin Wright were perfect for these roles and were both brilliant!
Worth watching for the performance of Kevin Spacey and the dynamics between him and Robin Wright. Very good stories overall, you do not even have to like or know politics. But please do not watch s6 it's not even worth daytime tv.
I loved this series, Kevin Spacey made this show awesome. As soon as he was gone the show just went from brilliant to bad. The plot didn't work and the character chemistry was gone. So unfortunate - this could have been one of the most iconic tv series in history.

- Quotes
Francis Underwood: Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power. In this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn't see the difference.
