By s y Go To PostWtf you had me scared for a sec
I know, right.
Don't know anyone who still watches this show. It served its purpose fine, but Netflix has much better flagship shows now.
By reilo Go To PostIdk why but I think your thread title got truncated. Can you use single quotes?I just saw that. Good to know for the future.

Better shows? You should see the trailer for Big Mouth? LOL!
Gave up on it during season 2 even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. How did the rest of the show hold up?
By Vlatko Go To PostGave up on it during season 2 even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first season.Same. I just stopped watching for no good reason.
By Vlatko Go To PostGave up on it during season 2 even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. How did the rest of the show hold up?progressively worse.
Show went downhill as soon as they ran out of material from the UK show (have not read the book yet).

I do. I was really into it...until the last season. They were really spinning their wheels, some stupid shock twists, and the ending made absolutely no sense in the context of the character.

I really liked the show in the beginning, but I barely recognize it now.

This is a more accurate title.
production has been suspended.
‘House Of Cards’: Production On Netflix Series Suspended Indefinitely Following Kevin Spacey Allegations
Netflix Cancels 'House Of Cards', Says It's 'Deeply Troubled' Over Kevin Spacey Claims
“MRC and Netflix have decided to suspend production on House of Cards season six, until further notice, to give us time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew,” the two companies said in a joint statement to Deadline.
The news comes less than 24 hours after Netflix announced that House of Cards will end with its upcoming sixth season as allegations of unwanted sexual advances in 1986 by HoC star Kevin Spacey against then-14-year-old Anthony Rapp had emerged.
I wonder how many writers/actors/directors called in and said "I'm not coming in to work with this dude anymore."
I didn’t even know the show was still going. I stopped about mid season 3 and just assumed it ended there bc I never heard anyone talk about it
With all the allegations and consequences I can help but be angry. We have higher standards for entertainers than the leader(s) of our country.

By Kabro Go To Postproduction has been suspended.That's gotta be an odd situation. Most of the time there accessed recuse themselves and/or have been fired. Is he really gonna go back to filming and expect things to be smooth?
Wasn't the 6th season meant to be the final one?.
Anyway, it's good advertising for it regardless. House of Cards was decent, not as good in the later series.

Real life house of cards is more insane anyway. I kinda lost interest in the show after January and when all the Trump craziness began.
I love House of Cards. Was my current favourite show.
But fuck Spacey, glad it is cancelled. And fuck Netflix if they knew about assaults on members of staff.

Yeah, allegations coming out now that he sexually assaulted production staff members, put his hands down a guy's pants, etc.
I don't even know how they can show another season of this without having Frank Underwood get assassinated off-screen in the first episode.

Producers are exploring several options for getting “House of Cards” back on track in the wake of sexual assault and harassment allegations against star Kevin Spacey.
One scenario being discussed is to kill off Spacey’s character, the villainous Frank Underwood, and have the show’s sixth and final season concentrate on his equally manipulative wife Claire, played by Robin Wright, according to insiders.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostThat show dropped off hard in the second season and it's still going?I heard it has a large audience in Russia.
Spacey Fired
Netflix has severed all ties with Kevin Spacey — including “House of Cards” — after several men came forward to accuse the Oscar winner of sexual misconduct.
“Netflix will not be involved with any further production of House of Cards that includes Kevin Spacey. We will continue to work with MRC during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the show. We have also decided we will not be moving forward with the release of the film Gore, which was in post-production, starring and produced by Kevin Spacey,” the streaming giant said in a statement.
They should just end it.
For me the production company must have known about it, so the whole thing is tainted.

Title updated with the information that Netflix seems desperate to keep the show going even though Spacey has been fired.

The production assistant says that when he and Spacey were just minutes away from the set and while the car was moving, Spacey, who was driving, put his hands down the production assistant's pants. The production assistant told CNN that the touching was nonconsensual.
I was in a state of shock," he said. "He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there."
The production assistant asked that what happened next in the car not be described, for fear that it would identify him.
Once they had arrived on set, the production assistant says he helped the actor take his belongings from the car to Spacey's trailer on set. While the two men were in the trailer, the production assistant says, Spacey cornered him, blocked his exit and made inappropriate contact with him.
"I told him, 'I don't think I'm ok with this, I don't think I'm comfortable with this,'" the production assistant said. That's when the actor became "visibly flustered," fled the trailer, got in his car and left for the remainder of the day, according to the production assistant.
The alleged sexual assault came months after the production assistant had, he told CNN, complained to a supervisor that Spacey was sexually harassing him. The supervisor's solution was to never let the production assistant be alone with Spacey while they were on set, the production assistant says.
A crew member who worked on the show for all six seasons said that Spacey routinely harassed and touched him.Honestly if a bunch of people who worked on HoC compare notes they could file a civil suit.
"He would put his hands on me in weird ways," the crew member said. "He would come in and massage my shoulders from behind or put his hands around me or touch my stomach sometimes in weird ways that in normal everyday conversation would not be appropriate."
Once you get past the shock it's pretty telling just how entitled he felt to do that and how much must have been rugswept over his career.

Spacey probably figured that coming out would prevent a company like Netflix from doing just that, but we all know damn well that his termination ain't got shit to do with him being gay. Nice try though.
By reilo Go To PostWhat? That's not what happened here. At all.
He was not sacked for being gay, he was sacked for being a serial sexual assaulter and statutory rapist.
If they insist on releasing the season, I hope his character dies violently in the first episode and the series closes out on Claire.
