DGMcCready Review of House of Cards

House of Cards (2013–2018)

Unbelievable series in seasons 1 and 2.....

[8/10 · 15 May 2023]

I had been meaning to watch this show for years. I finally did. All the scandal around Kevin Spacey's real liked didn't deter me. I was blown away by seasons one and two. Everything about it. The 4th wall concept works perfectly. Even when he does terrible things you still root for him knowing it won't end well. I've only watched through season 3 and probably won't watch anymore. Of course I would never watch season 6. You can feel the series slipping away in season 3 with the storylines of his wife and Doug clouding the picture. In hindsight, I wish they stretched the series with him winning the presidency at the end but I get it. I will watch the first two seasons again and again. Never being tempted to go beyond season 3. Why ruin a good thing.
