House of Cards: The Complete Fifth Season (2017)

[AnamorphicWidescreen]

I saw HOC S05 on Blu late last year, and was impressed by how good this season was - excellent. Yes, it wasn't as intense as past seasons, but it was still well-done & compelling.

That being said, I think the show should end with S06 (if they're even making a S06). I do think it can survive without KS - and, based on the storyline at the end of S05, it seems like his wife is poised to "take over" and he's in the sidelines (at least temporarliy). I do think Robin Wright & the supporting cast can carry a season. And, I can easily see KS being written off the show without a problem.

That also being said, if great TV shows last too long, they eventually run out of steam. I think HOS should definitely quit while it's ahead.

We need to see Frank Underwood finally get what's coming to him, not just disappear quickly.

Well said. I sure hope the supporting cast can carry the load, because Frank Underwood IS the show. He is great this season! Absolutely despicable and his 4th wall breaks are so epic. I’m kind of curious what the first two episodes of S6 they shot, before the firing, were about.
Such a shame that everyone associated with this show: cast, crew and fans get slighted because of one person’s senseless acts.
The writers are really going to have to work overtime to give this show a great send offf minus the person the makes the show.
