I have to admit: I don't get the Nay-Sayers. In all these years there are maybe 1-2 Episodes which i did not like or that felt mediocre. I did not like some minor decisions.

But the quality, the writing, the overall design, the actors and everything is just great topnotch!

I actually i watched House of Cards this way: I got a new season and i watched the german-dubbed version. Season 5 is now there, but i had to remind me, what happend so far. So i wanted to watch a summary, but it felt that i would miss much.

So i started one month over from Season One. This time i watched the original english dubbed Version. And i can not recall any major flaw this show got.

Thank you, Francis :)

9/10

Update after Kevin Spacey was fired:
So this show is dead now. Great. What an unworthy ending. And no, a next season will not make sense. It will not make any sense sense at all. I like the 'other' characters. I like the 'other' storylines. But without Spacey its like ordering a T-Bone Steak with Potatoes and all you get are the Potatoes. Why not finish the "Underwood"-Storyline WITH him? This way is just pure b***sh*t. Don't let me start with the fact that there wasn't a trail yet. Just thinking about it makes me so angry.

So thank you Netflix for ruining my favorite Netflix show. I guess i do not need your Service anymore.
