by Olivia Weinzapfel Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers for House of Cards The sixth and final season of House of Cards struggles to stay interesting after losing the star of the show. It’s hard to justify that it’s even worth the watch. Due to the sexual misconduct allegations against Kevin Spacey, who played the lead role of Frank Underwood, the producers were forced to fire him. The reigns were explicitly passed on to his character’s wife, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), when she closed Season 5 by saying, “My turn.” The transition of leads went as well as one could expect, given the circumstances. Despite this respectable rework, Season 6 still lacked in the show’s traditionally complex schemes. To no one’s surprise, it just wasn’t the same. The disputes we had all come to know and love in this show didn’t make much of an appearance. Additionally, some problems in this season were left up in the air, while others didn’t even add up logically.
