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.

House of Cards...trashes itself, even if it was a sort of knowing trash to start with. Go to Full Review

The new season of House of Cards doesn't feel like an arbitrary story overhaul in response to the #MeToo crisis. It feels right. Go to Full Review
Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair 11/05/2018
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. Go to Full Review

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 Go to Full Review

Artistically, Season 6 of House of Cards is a flop. Go to Full Review
Neil Mathew Cultured Vultures 10/09/2019
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. Go to Full Review

Mayur T @Maytir11 Feb 23 House of Cards Season 6 is the worst, lacking direction, cohesion, and the charisma of Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood. the shortened, 8-episode final season struggled to pivot to Claire Underwood, a confusing plot, weak storytelling, and a largely panned finale. See more Arjun S Nov 18 Netflix failed this show just like every other show with gender swaps,gender politics and not actually understanding their audience and the source material.The show was not about the devious,inner politics that goes in Washington D.C but Francis Underwood who embodied a republican in a democrat party.Claire underwood's story was just a side note to the bigger concert that Francis put for the audience.Her tedious,mind numbing story that had no actual interesting points if her husband was not by her side showed in the last season that no one actually cares by which gender you put in the oval office even if the political climate at that time was to favor the other gender for ratings and cultural approval.What the audience cared about on both sides of the aisle was a politician they can relate to whether their in the senate,governor's seat or the presidents and with a smile when the cameras are on to say "Thank you for your support" but breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience and saying out loud what all politicians really think which is "I don't care what your concerns are, you will vote for me".No one embodied that better than Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright tried her hardest but the show was never her's for her to demand attention when on screen. See more Betty B @Betty1977 Apr 14 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 See more Michael T 12/02/2024 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. See more Liza F 07/01/2024 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! See more Ina V 06/22/2024 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!! See more Read all reviews
