Despite not having Kevin Spacey's character anymore I thought season 6 was fairly decent. It was never going be as good without Spacey, he made that show.
The ending felt like an end of a normal episode let alone the last episode ever. Also Claire didn't need to kill Doug, why risk it as the baby would have got Frank's will. They left too much open for me.
What a rubbish ending to a brilliant/ decent show (first 2 seasons were brilliant).
I agree although I felt Season 6 was, as a whole, pretty terrible. And the ending, yes, what a ridiculous end.
shareI suppose my expectations were very low. The fact that it was watchable without Frank Underwood which is why I thought it was decent.
shareI watched it the morning it was released,doing the first 4 that morning,then the last 4 that night,but it was a struggle to finish as I kept finding myself bored & distracted. There was also just too many head scratching "WTF" moments throughout,like Mark Usher ( her VICE PRESIDENT!!) bringing the body of Tom Yates to her.......while she is on a run......WITH HER SECRET SERVICE DETAIL??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Who the hell in the writers room thought that would be a good idea???
And my god,that final scene in the Oval!!! Sooooo un-realistic & far fetched on SOOOO many levels!!!
This season was literally rushed & made up as they went along. Like him or not in real life,the writers had no idea what to do without Spacey's character so they just flung s**t at the wall hoping it would stick.....& all it did was stink!
