Icon5 House of Cards S5

So I've been a big fan of this show and I know many of you are, but can't help but feel that it has been going downhill since season 3.

Now, almost 6 months after the release of season 5 I still can't bring myself to watch the last few episodes of the season, it is genuinely bad. They should have ended it a long time ago IMO.

Did anyone feel the same way?

Agreed

I struggled to get through the last season, but I can't even force myself to complete this last season. Too bad really as I really enjoyed the first three seasons

I agree, I stopped watching it after season 3 as it became ludicrous

Yes, I stopped after the 4th episode of season 5. Things just would happen in the plot, without the build up and backstory of the previous seasons.

And then this happened, then that happened. It became boring and ludicrous at the same time.

I enjoyed the original UK version, worth seeing if this one is going downhill.

Watched season 5 with wife... wish I could have my brain cells back

Also it focused a lot more on Claire, who I never liked as a character
