If television series were ships, then "House of Cards" is without a doubt The Titanic. Both had their origins in the U. K. Both were launched amid much fanfare and had an amazing and fruitful beginning and middle run. And both slammed into an iceberg and ended in disaster! Of course this proverbial iceberg for "House of Cards" is Season 6.
It's sad to see how Netflix likes to launch amazingly popular and brilliant series only to stab them to death or just dump them far too soon. And, in the case of "House of Cards", it was because of the "Cancel Culture" bullcrap that is spreading like a cancer throughout our society.
Fortunately, seasons 1 through 5 can stand on their own, and they are a worthwhile watch. Kevin Spacey is one of the most talented actors out there, and what he did or didn't do 3 decades ago really doesn't matter. He made and carried "House of Cards", and without him, the show became pointless.
Enjoy the first 5 seasons. Then move on.
N. B. The 9/10 review is for Seasons 1 through 5 only.!
