There are two kinds of pain... knowing that House of Cards will never get the final season it deserved, and listening to a random clicking sounds in the middle of a cold open monologue.
@@motherfucker42069But god damn those first 2 seasons are incredible! I’m not big on rewatching show’s personally but I’ve seen those 2 a good 4-5 times over the years
Guys I only watched the first 3 seasons, are the rest worth it? I heard the last one is really bad and I don't know if I should reconsider watching the rest I want to know what you think..
@@razorguy13396 he's kind of like Coch brother's or Sheldon Adelson. Political billionaires! Just imagine how bad it gets when Jeff Bezos decides to get active politically.
@@waningfizzle8318 Nope. And his “victim” had text messages with his girlfriend being all excited he met Kevin Spacey, then messages where he said he lied about his age and showing he knew exactly what Spacey wanted and was still excited. But who cares about the follow up to the story, people will just remember the accusation and do their best to ruin someone’s life before proven guilty.
@@waningfizzle8318 Not yet. There have been several cases dropped, and there are some pending. Also, London police are investigating 6 separate cases, but haven’t charged Spacey yet. Anthony Rapp, one of the two that accused Spacey of sexual assault when they were minors, only filed a lawsuit this past September. The dropped cases don’t necessarily reflect guilt or innocence, one case was dropped due to the accuser dying before trial for example. Basically its still a big he said-(s)he said.
It has always annoyed me that they didn't end it at the 4th season, 13 episodes each season, just as a deck of cards. And it wouldn't drag out as much as the later seasons has.
"Any politician that gets 70 million votes has tapped into something larger than himself" Meanwhile in 2020, both candidates got more than 70 million votes.
@L M just look at Georgia haha. Evidence of 3 batches appearing out of nowhere for in favor of Trump. It’s not that there’s no evidence it’s that the biased media you’re getting your information from isn’t relaying this information.
Whenever i see house of card, i always remember Chappelle's joke, about if spacey's accuser shut his mouth up for another year we could have a great finale, since he kept silent for many years already.
And, yet again, Spacey was cleared from the sexual assault allegations by court ruling. So that failed actor not only ruined the show but also Spacey’s career.
@@frankaliberti but by criminal or civil? judge or jury? Cleared from the allegations on what grounds? Those things matter too much to not specify when claiming it 'proves' he's completely innocent
After how phenomenal this show was, it absolutely didn’t deserve the ending it had. I’d rather have the show end before season 6 than have it end so terribly.
frank underwood is the best and coldest series character ever, the things he does in the series are horrible but so genius and when he talks to the audience just makes it even colder
I gave up on House of Cards in the middle of season 6. It was that bad for me. I don't even want to know how the show ends. The show really went downhill in season 5 when Frank abruptly announced his resignation. That was definitely out of character for Frank Underwood, and Beau Willimon was the missing piece in seasons 5 and 6, and it showed badly.
@@uncreative5766 every single episode of season 6 was incredibly painful. It was obvious that they completely rewrote and scraped together any footage without Kevin Spacey in it. I dont think 3 months had passed since his public denouncement until they released the last season. It felt like they ran out of budget and just tried to cobble together an ending without him just because they felt like they didn't have an option.
Up until the train incident later on in the series, I was actually rootin' for this character, because he DID get screwed. I also wonder how this show would have played out if that train thing didn't happen
@@natethegreat1999 From my memory, the train incident was the very first line crossing thing he did on screen. I know he also killed the bald Congressperson and made it look like a suicide, but I thought that happened in a later season.
As you might know, House of Cards is based off of the UK novel and series of the same name and in that story Francis Urquhart pushes a journalist off a roof as a central plot point. So they were trying to mirror this in order to stay true to the core of the story. But I agree, it would have been really interesting to see what would have happened if he didn't kill her and had to come up with some other solution to silence her
Best Actor from the 2000s and the man was found Innocent! People just wanna bring you down when your the top dog like Spacey. No one can beat his acting
I always found it ridiculous and funny at the same time how bodyguard steve dramatically goes from incredibly healthy in one episode to looking like a complete train wreck in another with very little time in between
By the time Claire visits him in the Hospital there s around 4 months passed since we last saw him. And besides he had cancer in stage 4 if I remember correctly which is really aggressive even in a healthy man.
It’s a show. Time doesn’t pass at the same speed it does outside the show man...the show starts a New Years party, before walker is inaugurated. Only 5 episodes later were basically at the end of his first hundred days, Peter Russo fucking up and then becoming sober for a full month, week - month long strikes (don’t remember).
I’m from South Carolina congressional district 6 and the fact that he’s a democrat that actually managed to win that district let me know immediately that he had to be some kind of fucking genius lol.
The only thing that tops this is the season 2 first episode where he doesn’t do the camera talks the whole episode. You start to think that went away. Then he turns and talks to you at the very end. I felt a legit chill down my spine.
I dont think people appreciate just how PERFECT this opening scene is. In just 3 minutes you learn about Frank Underwood's contempt toward the system, his fake persona he presents to the public, his true sociopathic nature, and his brutally pragmatic ideology, you meet every one of the key players, every plot thread is set up without you even realizing it, and it all comes out as naturally as a diary entry, bookended by two of the most memorable monologues in the entire show. This scene right here is what created the Netflix behemoth we have today
They should've had 4 seasons. 13 episodes each. Deck of cards. Seasons 1&2 are his rise, 3 is his reign, and 4 is his fall. Instead they decided to milk the show until it became horrible.
On 2/1/2013 they write (2:07), "Any politician that gets 70M votes has tapped into something larger than himself - larger than even me (as much as I hate to admit it)". Relating to 11/3/2020: Biden >78.5M, Trump >73M. For context: Obama 69.5M. (2008) Which real-life candidate does this quote relate to most, if any, besides just the show? I was thinking Trump, but his 2016 win was less than H. Clinton, Biden, and both Obamas. But he certainly tapped into something!
As much as I detest Trump and everything he stands for, I will say that he has a cult of personality unlike any president before him. He went from being a joke prior to 2016 to being arguably the most powerful man in the world. I think that takes a certain genius...
This show hit me so damn hard! As an Australian, it was difficult for me to grasp the American political system on my first watch. But I was mesmerised by Spacey’s performance. My second watch had me convinced this show was one of the best I’d ever seen. I was hooked. Then it all went to shit and I’ve never gotten over it.
Yeah after 3 of them died. One 'killed himself' another one was 'hit by a car' and the third 'died of unknown causes'. I'm sure the other accusers weren't super eager to 'commit suicide' or die in an 'accident' so they stopped pursuing it
@@healthypizza1745 reminder that one of them was not even confirmed to exist, and his lawyer dropped any accusations soon after the first case was closed. Interesting.
@@healthypizza1745 you mean Frank Underwood right. Or you meant to say going against Kevin Spacey will put the green light on you lol also, really? Dropped??
@@healthypizza1745 Innocent until proven guilty. He has not been found guilty of anything, and please don't act like he's some big shot mafiosi, we're talking Kevin Spacey some Hollywood actor not the Teflon Don.
@@hollykm I was planning on doing that hahahaha I just watched the episode after the one where he gets shot, the one where he’s just in a coma for the entire episode and it was without a doubt the worst episode yet
I absolutely love that you think he’s guna be comforting to the dog but then it changes instantly and the audience sees this is a man that thinks he’s helping the dog but doing it in the most inhumane and vicious way possible. And that line see no more pain like he just did the dog a favor.
I can’t actually remember if it is a cold open, but the best opening to a tv series ever is Jeff Daniels monologue about America in the newsroom. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
I remember when i first watched this series as a non engish speaker it was very hard to understand his accent without subtitles, now i easily understand him
I remember as well my mom watching tv shows in english and I couldnt understand a thing, now I watch series even without subtitles. Its a wonderful thing to be bilingual and sometimes just step back and realize how much we have learned and improved!
Not necessarily true, first Frank mentions that he GOT 70 million votes, not that he was ahead by that much. Second the way the electoral college works doesn’t distribute votes based on their direct distribution, but rather the location they were in. It wouldn’t matter if he got 70 million votes if they were heavily concentrated in only a few states. Multiple times in presidential history we’ve had presidents that lost the popular vote, but still won the electoral vote because the distribution of their votes were exactly where they needed to be (in swing states where their votes changed which candidate the electoral votes went to). Third, you statistic doesn’t count for things like voter apathy and citizenship / voter status. When you exclude children, non-citizens, convicted felons, and people that just didn’t vote for one reason or another, then the typical amount that go out and vote is usually around 40-50% of the population.
@Charles Rayburn yes yes, and his performance is artful, but one must also bear in mind his haneous acts. Its the same with any musician who makes good music but is a bad person.
"He did his duty and delivered the Keystone state bless his heart and now they're about to put him out to pasture"😂 Real life documentary on Congress if I ever saw one.
Given the fact that this was such an amazingly ground-breaking show I hope the writers give us something akin to a spin-off in the not-distant future taking in the pandemic and such
