      Season 4 – House of Cards

      2016 Drama List
      86% 36 Reviews Tomatometer 92% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score U.S. Rep. Francis Underwood of South Carolina starts out as a ruthless politician seeking revenge in this Netflix original production. Promised the post of Secretary of State in exchange for his support, his efforts help to ensure the election of Garrett Walker to the presidency. But Walker changes his mind before the inauguration, telling Underwood he's too valuable in Congress. Outwardly, Underwood accepts his marching orders, but secretly he and his wife Claire, an environmental activist, make a pact to destroy Walker and his allies. As the series progresses, Underwood ascends through the ranks of the government -- until his death, at which point Claire gains power. Based on the U.K. miniseries of the same name, the U.S. version offers a look behind the scenes at the greed and corruption in American politics. A number of real-life media figures make cameo appearances. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Jul 04 Buy Now

      Jessica Goldstein New York Magazine/Vulture It's basically Scandal without a sense of humor. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Inkoo Kang MTV I asked myself the same question during this preening, exhausting, overpacked season as I have during every other one: Why in the world are we expected to root for Frank? Apr 12, 2016 Full Review Sonia Saraiya Salon.com This fourth season of House of Cards... surprised me after two lukewarm seasons by being its best yet Mar 8, 2016 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Actually, what we've been hooked to is the soap opera that underlies and that pushes us to see one chapter after another.

      Savannah G This season comes back strong! The fourth wall will always be the most powerful form of acting out there- Cant wait to keep watching!! This was a great season Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Jordan S One of the best shows ever. Period Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/22 Full Review Master Y Kevin Spacey + 4th wall breaking. Phenomenal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/22 Full Review Audience Member Better than the previous season to be sure, this one still doesn't recapture the tension and drama of the first 2 seasons for me. It's not surprising that with writers and actors this talented, they were able to find a course forward. The future (at this point) is bright for HoC! Definitely recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely disappointed in the way the delivery of the show developed . Bluff . Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly good season. After a quite disappointing 3rd season, the twist this season encountered were very good constructed. Brought back my interest to finish this serie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
