Current Events > I'm convinced that the new season of House of Cards is an elaborate joke.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's no way something could go through so many stages of creation, oversight, and production and turn out to be so fucking laughable

It's like if instead of an actual final season they just decided "fuck it let's make a parody of the show we used to make"

holy crap what a fascinating mess

Yes its dreadful. I literally said "alright, that's it I'm out" after that scene in the 1st episode when Clair realeases the bird saying "I'm free of you Frank

What the fuck was that I closed the show and deleted it of my playlist.

I actually cracked up when the aide was going over the funeral photos with Claire and a bunch of the photos were angled just perfectly so you couldn't see Frank's face.

is it really that bad? the series is great, especially the first two seasons

I imagine losing Spacey threw a wrench in the works.

This is a completely uninformed opinion.

Its very obvious this season has issues. Blame Kevin Spacey for being a rapist. They probably had to reshoot like 90% of it because of him in less than a year.

That being said, it wasn't that bad. Naturally Claire would use feminism to her advantage to gain support and power.

The show is great (my personal favorite Netflix original) but Netflix fired spacey (the main character ) and decided to do a full season without him in the most laughable way.

It's rare for me to drop a show cause a character left the show but my God did house of cards do it in the most asinine way.

It's pretty damn bad. I really didn't like season 5 but holy crap is like on a whole other level

The first two seasons are fantastic though. Some of my favorite TV

Oh it did. They pretty much tossed out what they had originally planned out for this season.

The whole thing has a distinct "Poochie died on the way back to his home planet" vibe, where it's painfully obvious the writers had no idea how to write around Spacey's absence

Do yourselves a favor and watch the original BBC miniseries. It should still be on Netflix.
