The TV series charged forward with new stories while still returning to the path of destruction that Frank and Claire Underwood left in their wake to make it to the White House.
One thing is clear, though, “House of Cards” has reached its pinnacle and the end appears to be around the corner. While the show has already been renewed for a fifth season, it does not look like the TV series will go beyond a sixth season.
Critics actually describe the TV series as a rattle snake as it has a good share of shocks, surprises, and horror while moving at its own leisurely pace.
Contrary to previous reports about “House of Cards,” there are no direct parallels to the ongoing US presidential campaign although there are moments in the TV show where certain themes sort of bleed through.
The Season 4 finale was singularly terrifying which is why “House of Cards” is widely-followed and well-loved by its loyal viewers.
Doug Stamper, played by Michael Kelly, had his share of high points during the fourth season as he was back in his element. He was high on loyalty but frighteningly low on ethics.
He was ready to do whatever it takes to serve Frank but the extreme wickedness has also broken him heading into the second half of the fourth season, which led to something immeasurably creepier.
