Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio

Robin Wright was one of the best things from the previous seasons of House of Cards, but season 6 simple should've never existed. The ghost of Frank Underwood became its doom. Full review in Spanish

Neil Mathew Cultured Vultures

It isn't easy to replace Frank Underwood, who... has become one of the most legendary characters ever portrayed on a TV show. However, it is obvious that this season not only lacked inspiration - it was lacking, in general.

Olly Richards GQ Magazine [UK]

The final season is not the glorious goodbye it should have been, or the one the show's best character and best actor deserved, but there's still enough of that early elegant cruelty to see it across the line.

This is the worst season of the series despite Robin Wright's best efforts. [Full Review in Spanish]

Catherine Drake Digital Spy

From the first time Claire Underwood broke that fourth wall and looked directly at us at the end of season four beside her husband, we've been craving more insight into her equally manipulative mind.

Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily

The sixth and last season of House of Cards is worth taking a peek at because, well, it's House of Cards and it put in the work to get where it is.

It's eight-hours of filler to set up an immensely unsatisfying conclusion.

The final eight episodes, which are all available for streaming now on Netflix, comes to a messy conclusion with more loose ends than a Florida election ballot.

Hugo Rifkind Times (UK)

House of Cards...trashes itself, even if it was a sort of knowing trash to start with.

Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian

The new season of House of Cards doesn't feel like an arbitrary story overhaul in response to the #MeToo crisis. It feels right.

Ben Kuchera Polygon

The final season of House of Cards is too weird and atonal to ignore completely, but it's not good enough to recommend.

Carrie Wittmer Business Insider

Wright is truly stunning on the final season, and gives every second on screen her all in a way that suggests she's always known this should've been her show.

Matt Fowler IGN Movies

House of Cards's sixth and final season really shines in the middle, when Claire is forced to defend every square inch of her presidency against the Shepherd family's abominable ambushes.

House of Cards: Season 6 - TV Reviews (16)

Euan Ferguson Observer (UK)

Robin Wright has stepped sublimely up. She dominates by simply inhabiting, as did Francis, every scene in which she appears, and one sees the skull beneath the skin throughout, rather than in snatches.

For a dying series, this feels remarkably alive with possibility.

Sadly just eight episodes! I'll miss Madame President's to die for tailored suits.

Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair

The story of Season 6 just doesn't cohere; it barely even tracks well enough to summarize. In a way, the total breakdown is sort of beautiful; it's like watching the story collapse in upon itself, a deserted building, carefully demolished.

Robin Wright is many things, but possessed of a light touch she is not.
