    Yeah, for me House of Cards ended when Spacey was fired. I didn't even bother to check the new season, and I'm not going to. He might be terrible to work with, but Spacey WAS the show.

    Sadly i agree. I did not know much about Spacey personally .. . so I guess I just enjoyed the show for what it is
    Without him . . .. it just seems flat
    I really did not like the deemphasizing of his character last season

    I think she's honestly a great actress. But the writers went too hard at the feminism route this season lol.

    Almost all shows have source material...good ones at least. Shows fall off after a couple seasons as they run out of original source material.

    The final season was like watching Oceans 11/12/13 and then watching Oceans 8.

    Mercifully finished it last night.

    Not exaggerating when I say this...it was the worst final season to a show I have ever seen. Worse than Dexter. Worse than How I Met Your Mother. Worse than anything. The final scene was embarrassing.

    I know they had the Kevin Spacey thing to deal with. That sucks. But what they decided to go with was uninteresting, not compelling, confusing, and boring. I have to believe they could have done better.

    Damn shame. It was a fun show for a little while.

    I really don't blame them. Kevin Spacey was the whole show. And not seeing Frank Underwood die on screen was unsatisfying. I wish they would release what the original script would have been for the last season.

    Yeah, no doubt, but it seems like there was minimal effort to even try to come up with a decent story line this season. Hell...the show didn't even end. The last season provided zero closure to anything.

    This last season sucked and Claire was even less likeable than Francis was.

    I watched the first 4 seasons.
    Then I just watched two recap videos for season 5 and 6. I am glad I didn't waste my time.

    I'm currently on Ep6 of S6. Seasons 1-3 were great. They were everything a good show is about, but after season 3 they started going dumb. How in the hell does Claire Underwood rise in politics so fast... It's messed up Spacey being who he was but they should have ended the show while he was still the lead. The relationships between Claire and Tom and then Frank and the civil war actor was when the show got to it's worst.

    Best thing about season 6, Diane Lane!

    I'll finish the show, I just won't spend the effort in analyzing not appreciating all the details.

    I watched the first 3ish seasons and literally the only scene I remember is when he pushed girl in front of the train.

    I stopped watching when Spacey left the show.
