Chapter 73

I have never seen a season or an episode crash and burn as bad as this one. There was so much that could have been done. I won't spoil it but Netflix owes me 8 hours of my life back

A complete letdown. Do yourself a favor if you read this:

Stop at the end of Season 5, and walk away. Go watch Narcos or something like that. (Don't say I didn't warn you.)

Slapped together ending, which makes you think: "What? That can't happen." and "That wouldn't happen..." scenarios that keep going on and on with side stories that end up with pointless dead ends. A lot of character die offs because they didn't know what to do with them all.

I think it would have been better if all the main characters boarded Air Force One, had a bird strike and they all ended up in the Hudson River and no one survived this time.

What a disappointment.

Not the worst series finale ever, not the worst season of anything ever, not the first time a show went on too long, not the last time a show will go on for too long, but the last time I will ever have to watch this show again fills me with both sadness when I remember how much I loved it some years ago when it was good, and gladness when I remember that's it's over and I don't have to watch anymore of this terrible season.

The worst final season............. You ruined the Series.

I watched this episode a few weeks after it was released. Like the rest of this season I didn't care for it very much, the storyline made no sense and none of the characters behaved like any real person would.

After I finished the episode I thought "OK, so that was episode no. 8, moving on... hmm, strange, episode 9 doesn't seem to be available yet. Well it was kind of a plot twist at the end so I guess it's the mid-season break now..."

Didn't think much more of it until recently. "Whatever happened to the rest of the final season of House of Cards?", I thought. Only then did I find out that this episode was the ending of the entire series!

WHAT!?

What the h**l kind of an ending was that? How is this even an ending? It doesn't resolve anything. It doesn't work as a conclusion to anything other than a few of the sub-plots. It only sets up an even bigger mess that might actually have been interesting to watch.

There have been some terrible endings to great series over the years, but this one really takes the cake.
