House of Cards Canceled: Production of Final Season Suspended

I think I made it part way into season 3 before I lost interest in HoC.
Good to see Netflix doesn't fuck about, though.

After the awful season 5 good riddance. With the real life dumeassery going on in the white house nothing this show could do would match it anyway
Seems a lot of people started to sour on the series. Trump's real house of cards made the show pale in comparison. I would have liked a proper conclusion but I understand why that isn't possible and why Netflix pulled it. It is the right move but I am a bit disappointed that it's not coming back.
I reckon having House of Cards on their resume will make it pretty easy to find more work. I don't think most of the cast would have that much trouble anyway. They're all brilliant.
Why can't it be the usual suspects? I thought he was a good guy. Why couldn't he just be an ordinary decent criminal rather than this? Do these people go to some sort of gorilla school to learn this kind of behaviour? This kind of crime story is becoming so prevalent, they show that these terrible acts, although abhorrent, are now becoming something that no longer can be hidden in a code of silence. As a society that we are able to give victims the voice and confidence to come forward, it's heartening. I hope we continue in this direction. We have to demonstrate a show of force that this kind of behaviour will be brought to light and punished.
It's a fall from grace for Spacey. We have to see how the story develops and if this represents the tip of the iceberg. It just shows how inseparable the Industry is from this deviant behaviour, from horrible bosses down to the working girl and boy. It remains to be seen if Spacey has nine lives to survive this. Might be best to give him the envelope and say goodbye. I never got the impression that he thought of himself as the big kahuna, he always came across as a fun dad type.
What was he, 21, 26 when this happened? God I hope this stopped then. I know being drunk is not an excuse, but I can understand how this happened and him not having a memory of it. It doesn't make it right, but I can see how it happened. Drink too much and it doesn't matter if you have an iron will, you're susceptible to its effects. Forget about being consenting adults, that was a kid, dammit. At that age how do you know you might be swimming with sharks?
I'm glad this got picked up and wasn't buried in the middle of the shipping news. As we stand on the shores of the present, I'm optimistic of the future awaiting beyond the sea; where people can work without being harrased. I really hope this was a single incident for Spacey. A mistake. That it didn't go any further. Let him have the fallout. Let better people than me be the judge.

The last season wasn't that great, and with the latest news... I didn't see it going far. I'm shocked that they pulled the plug this quickly though.
I'm pretty sure it was always planned to be the last season. Nothing changed.
Fucking yikes! Kevin Spacey is a piece of shit, but honestly, I think this was going to happen regardless. The newer seasons are sooooo mediocre.
Yeah. If the reports onthese tweetsare true, apparently enough folks at the HoC set knew about Spacey's tendencies to warn young males about him.
Nice, I'm amazed Netflix was willing to axe one of their highest performing shows - and good on them.
Seasons 1 and 2 were the only good ones anyway TBH.
EDIT: Never mind, if S6 was already supposed to be the last one, that kind of nullifies it.

it sounds like it was planned to be cut for awhile now if you read through the comments.
Man as the show has only been in production 2 weeks I can't imagine how unbearably awkward it's going to be for everyone having to work with Spacey to finish this off. I bet his role gets reduced if they have time, especially as it was kinda preparing to usher Claire in anyway.
Gonna be awkward enough watching it, though I bet viewer metrics will take a huge hit obviously.

So was nothing to do with allegations. Timing of announcement can't be a coincidence though, which actually might be sleazy on Netflix's behalf...
Yeah, I can't imagine that being a healthy working environment.
Towards the end of season 5, some characters hinted at killing off Frank Underwood. Would be cool if they did and the series did and eventually replace old characters with new. Sort of like a soap opera but you know, not awful.
Anyway I liked season 5, may be my favourite after s1.

Kinda can't believe it. House of cards was such a huge show, and I guess it still is? Kinda surprised they outright cancelled it. I generally like Spacey as an actor.
Really sad to see this show go. It was so damn good. Admittedly dropped off in quality, but man was it a good watch.
Are you jumping on and saying stuff without understanding what happened?
I've yet to watch S5 but I think Spacey's pretty incredible in it. As is Robin wright as claire. Shame. Funny how poeple are using 1 weak season as saying it dropped off in quality.
It wasn't just bad, it was atrocious and incredibly lazy. It was always a reasonably good show but it was never as good as its first season again, and after season 5 it's clear the story is going off the rails and it needs to go.
