I'm done. I'm done with my binge and I'm done with the series.

My expectations were high, but this was a complete fumble.
I will not be watching the 6th season. I only stuck with the 13 DRAWN OUT episodes with the hope that The Underwoods would finally get their comeuppance. Sigh....
This show started out as prestige television and has now descended into a tawdry soap opera. No, it's beyond soap opera, this is entering into fantasy, the stuff of comic books and the Underwoods' super villain name is The Teflon Twins.

What a missed opportunity. This should have been the amazing (final) season where we finally saw the Underwoods' house of cards crumple. But no, what we got was House of Teflon, starring the The Teflon Twins.

House of Cards is too good to end already. Season 6 is going to be pretty fun with Claire at the helm. Everytime it seems Hammerschmidt, Goodwin, Pozner, Barnes are getting close to the truth--WHAM, they find themselves further away from it than before, and usually die.

That's exactly why it's terrible. It's too unbelievable.

I tried watching season 5, but I hate Claire and Frank too much to care anymore. And there's nobody else to root for.

There's gonna be a season 6? They sure decided to overstay their welcome. As you said, it turned from a great series into a soap opera, and what for? To earn a couple of bucks more.

The guy had to resign days after the election; that's not comeuppance for you?

This series is awesome!! You aren't suppose to like the Underwoods, their comeuppance will be 10 times as great when it happens!! Frank has kind of gotten his......Claire hasn't pardoned him yet and she *is* the President, not him; and she made him move out! Frank won't be able to control Claire.

Season 6? I thought that it's a 5-season series.

The second half of Season 5 was terrible. All the episodes seemed the same. Mark Usher, Jane Davis, and Alex Romero were boring beyond belief. Random people off the street would be more interesting than those three.

And I'm tired of this becoming The Claire Show.

Stick a fork in this show...it's done.
