Ganesh Hegde This is one of the best shows; excellent story, good script, exceptional acting by everyone, and good cinematography. The fifth season was a bit slow, but, what's disappointing is Spacey's departure (removal, rather) from the show. No matter how good the others were, Spacey is what made this show perfect. Without him, there is no way the show can survive. The series has ended for me.

nelsongage House of Cards is a better political show and probably the best show on Netflix! Even know it has a very liberal story it is still a good show. Kevin Spacey pulls off a convincing act. I'm not looking forward to the season with just Robin Write. House of cards is a MUST WATCH!

ns-55468 I started to watch this because of Kevin Spacey. I was intrigued with the direct monologue with the viewers, by Kevin Spacey's character, Frank Underwood. As time goes on, the viewer is taken through a powerful, political drama with the Underwood's. The more the story goes on, I started to dislike and even hated the character, Frank Underwood. I think that was part of the story telling. The viewer despises the character more and more as Frank gains more power. As I start to despise this specific character, I'm left wondering why am I still watching this show. I like to finish what I started and I waiting for the day that destroys Frank's political career or even more powerful figure opposes Frank. The story telling is a bit dry and sluggish at best. There is a lot of character development, but nothing that holds all the characters together. One day in this shows universe, is like an eternity in real life. Progress is belittled and more attention is on secondary characters that come and go. Need more emphasis on the main characters with relateable events.

mathmaniac ... but once I did, I found an engrossing well-acted and well-written drama. Ironically, what the viewer savors about the character that Spacey plays is just what I don't like about him. The smirking hint of evil that seems to lurk behind his smooth charm. This seems to be the point. Nice people, successful people, people who are good husbands and good students - can have an evil streak. I did see 'House of Cards' when it was a BBC production. This adaptation does it justice.
