But even though adherents to House of Cards may have been considering bailing by now, any show this willing to mess with its own fixed ideas is one worth sticking with. I thought Season 6 of House of Cards (Netflix) was very disappointing. For what it’s worth, I think it would still be fascinating Claire’s quest for her own power has provided the show’s dramatic thrust for a season and a half or so, and her speedy self-insertion into international affairs was in character.

Meanwhile, the story of Goodwin (Sebastian Arcelus), a journalist whose life had been ruined by his dedication to solving the Zoe Barnes case, is just… over: Like Rachel (Rachel Brosnahan) last season, he outlived his usefulness to the plot, and leaves it without meaningful resolution.Ī show that’s once again this untethered from keeping core characters around can wring genuine tension to Underwood’s health status. Poor Meechum (Nathan Darrow) lost his life shortly after going on a giddy wall-defacing spree with his beloved President in the White House. Underwood isn’t just unnecessary-given that he embodies the absolute height of power, he’s a creature of the past for a show that’s hunting for new worlds to conquer.Īnd the show makes clear both that the president is gravely wounded and that it’s, yet again, unafraid to take out two of its key characters.

Before House of Cards Season 4, We Need to Talk About Doug. I’m all for the show evolving, but Season 3 felt like a misstep rather than growth. It lacked the raw power of the Season 2 finale, and I’m wondering if Season 4 can return us to the juicy, guilty, knife-twisting pleasure the first two seasons provided.
