If you've watched Austin Powers then you'll know it's a spoof of James Bond.

Well season 6 of House of Cards is a spoof of the 5 seasons that preceded it.

Honestly it was laughable. There were laugh out loud moments where it was so bad and stupid I chuckled to myself at its atrocity and stupidity.

Claire went from a powerful woman in the first 5 seasons to laughable sociopath serial killer able to get pregnant by sheer will alone.

At least 3 scenes per episode of this season we are reminded WHITE MAN BAD MAN. Every episode of S6 we are at some point reminded about Netflix stance on Kevin Spacey.

Clearly this was filmed at the height of the Metoo moment, or at least during the MeeToo movements infancy, and Netflix very much needing to hop on board with that at the time that this season was filmed.

It leant so badly into this moment that Netflix and the writers made Claire completely wooden and one dimensional.

Editing and writing so bad that you spend the entire season no longer supporting Claire (like the former seasons), but hoping someone shoots her in the back of the head like they did Hammerschmidt.

Honestly S6 is like a spoof / comedy about the first 5 seasons of HoC. If you view it like it's a spoof it's at least laughable and you can get some enjoyment out of it.

If you don't it's honestly worse that GoT S8. S8 was simply rushed by an entire season.

HoC S6 is a joke

I posted a few weeks ago my seasons ranked in order before id seen S6. Below is my revised opinion after rewatching and now S6 too.

Best season: S1

2. S2
3. S4
4. S3
5. S5

S6 is not in the above list because it's a different genre of TV. Comedy.

Ill rewatch s6 maybe again in the future, but I'll rewatch viewing it as a comedy show to play in the background while I scroll on Reddit aha

I am so happy Frank killed Zoe. She was annoying as hell and I hated the story line.

I get it and I agree that season six could’ve had a shit ton of potential & even more if Kevin was in it but holy fuck did they made Doug and Claire’s part amazing! Gotta give it to them but i still and will hope that Doug is actually alive and a season 7 is going to come soon… with of course Frank

Frank underwood is a machiavellian sociopath and your gonna tell me that people in congress or the senate ain’t like that no there a few who are like that that’s just who they thank it is

I’ve seen it so many times but I can’t find it. It’s him pointing and seems to be arguing against something with American flag colours overlayed. I’ve seen it as a Netflix thumbnail so many times but I can’t find it.

While rewatching the first and second season I've noticed that the time on many of the text messages is either 10:47 PM o 10:47 AM, repeated times I've seen it, does it mean anything ?

I have no words, actually one of the well crafted series ever. Each season is a thing if of its own. Struggled to understand the end of S5 and the entirety of S6

I strongly believe all series must end when it’s due, Frank leaving actually made it better for S6 after math and end without him.

Seth and Dough running away would hand given us the happy ending lol.

It's a string theme that was played several times in the show, usually when a change was coming. It is very positive, uplifting, almost similar to the 0:35 part of Nothing To Be Afraid Of by Jeff Beal on HoC music Season 5: https://open.spotify.com/track/41gmhEzvzT25HFUcz4Gf6F but a bit slower and without the underlying bass. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks

Does anyone listen to TV series music while studying like me?

Title. S1 E10 & S3 E4

What scenes make you want to leap into the the television and scream at one of the characters? Here are some of mine:

• Russo getting tricked at the Cancer benefit. I was really rooting for the guy.
• Claire running off to Adam after Frank chewed her out for submarining the watershed bill.
• Frank telling Claire it was totally cool to let that creep Tom Yates share her bed in the White House
• Freddie's son pulling a gun on the photographer.
• Doug going back for Rachel after letting her go.
• Frank stating "There is no U and I in Education..."

I realize these are from the first couple seasons and are some very pivotal moments, but still...

Bro, I'm on HOC S2E11 and what tf did I watch why did I watch?!
Is politics so fd up??
I just wanted to know the scene I just watch yk what I am talking about, Meechum.
Tell me it was someone's dream in the series and tell me the series gets better after this or else I am not going to watch it any further. Thanks!

Anyone else lose the House of Cards icons? I’ve had the upside down American Flag since they launched. Now it’s defaulting to a red face making my profile icons look weird. I’m in the US and not using VPN so it isn’t a location issue.

I know there’s a load of discourse on this sub regarding season 6. It’s not great and many deny its existence in subsequent watch throughs and I don’t blame anyone for that.

But you will have likely seen it once. Given that fact, before you had realised it was a massive bin fire, on your first watch of it was there one moment where you realised: “wow, this is truly awful”?

For me, it was when they killed off Tom Hammerschmidt. Granted, I kind of knew it was horrendous before then but that was the final tipping point. It was just so lazy. Like they just couldn’t be bothered thinking about a better way to resolve that conflict.

Interested to hear you take(s).

I mean, of course it came from Freddie. It is all downhill from here.

We all know what went down but I'm sure they filmed the majority of the episodes with him in now that he's innocent can they not release it?

!In the final episode Doug tells Claire "I couldn't let him destroy everything we'd built. I had to protect the legacy from the man." and it just strike me a day later, while I was walking my dog, that this could have been intentional symbolic line on why the show removed Kevin Spacey. Does anyone had the same thought ?!<

Just here to say since 2016 we’ve seen some serious parallels. Now with the news of FEMA, it’s almost point blank. Its actually laughable 😂 they’ll both do whatever it takes

i lost count but if i had to make an estimate i’ve probably rewatched it at least 10 or 20 times

It is possibly the 4th time I've fully re-binged HoC, but I could never get past the ending of S3 - it just feels like the gap between Claire and Frank is ridiculously written, especially how they were such a pair even through some rough patches in S1 and S2. It's like after S3-C32, when the Moscow peace deal was blown into bits by Claire, it was the beginning of the end for me. Anyone else feels the same, or am I just blindly refusing to see the story the whole way through?

(note: even though I've never watched the rest of HoC, I've read enough wiki and recaps to know what happened, and honestly I feel like my mental wall at the end of S3 is somewhat fitting, since I'd want the story to circle mainly around the powerful couple)

After giving Suits like a 3rd chance to interests me I grew very fond of that show and now I rewatched the entire show twice. So I decided I wanted to try house of cards, as well tbh I’ve always heard rave reviews and it’s like the og Netflix special tv show. Watched the first episode and I was absolutely hooked. I don’t have a clue of many of the political concept but I was so intrigued by frank underwood, then I remembered it’s Kevin spacey we’re talking about. I then just felt tragic that an actor, this phenomenal, and captivating, had to go down such a path behind the scenes. Kevin spacey as an actor def is one of the greats but it pains me to see how messed up his world is in reality…

But I’m willing to put the man aside for the art, I love this show and yes Kevin Spacey’s acting really did carry the show for me.

I've not joined this community till today but I have because I'm currently rewatching HoC.

I feel like Kevin Spacey was born to play this particular role, he is utterly fantastic in it and steals every scene he's in.

If I were to rank the seasons in order I'd go with this:

1: S2 2: S1 3: S4 4: S3 5: S5

S6: Never watched.

After what happened with Spacey and him being cancelled I automatically presumed well the show is dead what's the point?

On my rewatch I'm currently up to the end of S2. Is there any point in me watching all the way through to the end of S6?

I thought the Underwood V Tusk with Garrett somewhere in the middle battle was great, though seeing Frank take everyone out in S1 was good fun too
