Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Apr 9, 2019
Performances in "The Final Cut" are consistently strong, with Blair, as Claire, especially artful in support of the versatile, Emmy Award-worthy Richardson. An undersung actor outside of England, he again is simply the grandest of cads. Go to Full Review Tony Scott Variety Apr 9, 2019
Richardson's suave strength as the sleek prime minister lies in his persuasive study of a constantly devious politician. His words spoken directly to the camera, like Shakespearean asides, are masterful character clarifications. Go to Full Review Daisy Bowie-Sell Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 9, 2019
4/5
It is one of the more gruesome examples of Machiavellian tactics, and it is back-stabbingly glorious. Go to Full Review Jace Lacob The Daily Beast Apr 9, 2019
There's a sense of moral decay at play within House of Cards that is fascinating to watch, how our aims are often ruined by ambition, and how proximity to the sources of power leads, almost naturally, to corruption. Go to Full Review Michael Noble Den of Geek Apr 9, 2019
As the dastardly Urquhart, Ian Richardson delivers the performance of his career. He relishes the role, and delights in his duplicity. His mannerisms support the dialogue perfectly; all smug smiles and arched eyebrows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
