Richard Roeper

Every now and then, the nearly overwhelming clutter of characters and storylines gives way to intense, revealing scenes featuring only Claire and Annette. Thanks to the electrifying performances of Wright and Lane, in those moments “House of Cards” is as good as it’s ever been. Read full review

House of Cards does not suffer from the lack of Kevin Spacey; anyone who has stayed with the Underwoods this long knows Wright is more than capable of carrying the action as the show’s anti-hero. ... Wright brings more humor to Claire than ever before as the President exploits sexist stereotypes about female hysteria. Read full review

While serving up a new batch of so-so operatives (Greg Kinnear and Diane Lane play tech billionaire siblings with a right-wing bent) to vex Claire, the best thing about the final episodes of House of Cards is the return of several ghosts of Underwood administrations past. Read full review

While the sixth and final season of House of Cards is as mixed a bag as the thrilling but uneven Netflix drama has yet produced, the good news is that Robin Wright is up to the task of anchoring the show. Read full review

There's no escaping the awkwardness that surrounds permeates this sixth and final season -- an inevitable byproduct of having to shuffle the deck, creatively speaking, after discarding one of its aces. Read full review

The performances are excellent, maybe better than ever before. But Cards has always been a show whose plot contortions could confuse and whose incremental intrigue could bore, and those problems are worse now that everyone seems to be whispering. There are interesting ideas at play, though. ... Unfortunately, it isn’t until more than halfway through the eight-episode season that Claire’s big plan becomes clear. Read full review

The story of Season 6 just doesn’t cohere; it barely even tracks well enough to summarize. In a way, the total breakdown is sort of beautiful; it’s like watching the story collapse in upon itself, a deserted building, carefully demolished. Read full review

This season challenged my acuity enjoyably. President Hale kills it! Where's Season 7?

House of Cards. Season 6. The house fell apart. This happened. The main star of the series was removed, the script was rewritten, they added fashionable themes to all this, made fewer episodes and what came of it ...

The main star of the series was removed, the script was rewritten, they added fashionable themes to all this, made fewer episodes and what came of it ... A very weak ending for such a masterpiece in the world of serials. The first 4 episodes are boring dialogues with characters that turn out to be very important, so they were never mentioned, then season 3 raises the bar sharply and in the last episode this House of Cards collapses, leaving behind only a lot of dots.… Expand

The cast is stellar and a pleasure to watch but the story arc is fatally compromised by changes made necessary by events outside the storyline.

Really could never get engaged in the story, it felt like something cobbled together to give the show a wrap. the final scene in particular was a huge disappointment. Only because we were at minute 59 would the injury be fatal and that is a poor plot resolution for a show that for 5 seasons left us gob-smacked by its audaciousness.… Expand

The 6th season was absolutely not a series that began on 2013. The whole story was around the character of Francis and they removed it just as easy as they could. I have to mention that this thing caused to destroy the whole series. Maybe it was better to ignore making the last season.

If you think season 5 was awful, you probably wanna commit suicide after watching season 6.

Got through the first episode. Instantly clear the writers have lost the story. I perused the summaries of the rest of the episodes and I am glad I did.

She does not have the charisma and hero's arc to step into the main character role.… Expand

Atrocious last season. Why on earth would they cut the main character?!? And why would they change it so dramatically from where it began. First seasons were good, but this was a joke!
