U.S. Rep. Francis Underwood of South Carolina starts out as a ruthless politician seeking revenge in this Netflix original production. Promised the post of Secretary of State in exchange for his support, his efforts help to ensure the election of Garrett Walker to the presidency. But Walker changes his mind before the inauguration, telling Underwood he's too valuable in Congress. Outwardly, Underwood accepts his marching orders, but secretly he and his wife Claire, an environmental activist, make a pact to destroy Walker and his allies. As the series progresses, Underwood ascends through the ranks of the government -- until his death, at which point Claire gains power. Based on the U.K. miniseries of the same name, the U.S. version offers a look behind the scenes at the greed and corruption in American politics. A number of real-life media figures make cameo appearances.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

House of Cards folds slightly under the weight of its labyrinthian ending -- thankfully Robin Wright's commanding performance is more than enough to keep it standing strong.

Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) House of Cards...trashes itself, even if it was a sort of knowing trash to start with. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian The new season of House of Cards doesn't feel like an arbitrary story overhaul in response to the #MeToo crisis. It feels right. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair The story of Season 6 just doesn't cohere; it barely even tracks well enough to summarize. In a way, the total breakdown is sort of beautiful; it's like watching the story collapse in upon itself, a deserted building, carefully demolished. Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Robin Wright was one of the best things from the previous seasons of House of Cards, but season 6 simple should've never existed. The ghost of Frank Underwood became its doom. Full review in Spanish Rated: 4/10 Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Artistically, Season 6 of House of Cards is a flop. Aug 7, 2020 Full Review Neil Mathew Cultured Vultures It isn't easy to replace Frank Underwood, who... has become one of the most legendary characters ever portrayed on a TV show. However, it is obvious that this season not only lacked inspiration - it was lacking, in general. Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Betty B Acting is decent. Dreadful characters, one is worse than the other. Liars, sociopaths, murderers...There was literally noone you would wish to suceed. Claire is almost inhuman, hard to understand what she wants from life...Depressing Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Michael T Meandering, ill conceived plot lines, lack of continuity, like a drunken stupor this last season has so many holes and breakdowns in the character arcs as to be almost laughable, but it’s not funny. Poor writing, a few characters continue to bring interest, Doug, but even his arc is “forced”/contrived. House of Cards falls just like its title in this last season. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Liza F The worst mistake they fired Kevin. They jump the gun on this really bad. Look like it back fired. Well now we know Kevin was the one that made the show! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Ina V Wat een afknapper, dit laatste seizoen. Ik raad iedereen aan om na het 5e seizoen gewoon te stoppen, want het laatste seizoen kijken doet meer afbreuk aan de hele serie dan dat het toevoegt. Slechte, wazige en zeer onrealistische verhaalllijn, karakters worden afgebroken, heel veel moet je maar tussen de regels door kijken en/of zelf invullen en het hele plot is erg vergezocht. Nee, NIET KIJKEN!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Jochem C The last season of House of Cards is an utter disappointment. Robin Wright was a great character during the first seasons and became a nice change of pace during the 4rd and 5th season. But she is nog made to be a main character, at least not for a series like house of cards. This series was made around the personality and charisma of Kevin Spacey. Even though season 5 was a bit far fetched, the story still had a red line running through it with Spacey being the glue that connected everything. Season 6 lacks both inspiration and a strong main character. The story is long-dreading and how the makers try to ignite new conspiracies and rivalries, it just disappointing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review rashid W Not the same show, a poor departure from a once great show. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
