Spoilers Alert!
Eight Stars for First Three Seasons. Six Stars For Seasons For Seasons Four. Four Stars For Season Five. Three Stars For Season Six, If That.
The first season followed the basic storyline of the 1990s BBC original which lasted three seasons spaced over the entire decade. When the American version didn't end after theee seasons after already veering off into prime time soap territory I became very disappointed. There were many themes from the original that could have been incorporated into the American, but weren't.
Before the Kevin Spacey scandal and his departure from the show, I was hoping the final season would have acknowledged the BBC version by casting some of tha surviving British actors in the American HOC.
I would have loved to see Michael Kitchen come out of retirement to play the King Of England in a state visit at some point in the final season. Sir Ian Richardson who played Francis Urquhart died many years ago, but his son Miles is an actor and played a small role in the last of the BBC HOC, The Final Cut. He too could have had a role in the American HOC.
Sadly the final seasons of the American HOC got muddled in absurd plots growing more and more absurd bearing no resemblance to the original as the years dragged on.
At least Doug Stamper finally got what was coming to him and that it appeared Claire Underwood also meets her demise as HOC fizzled out.
I wonder how the show would have gone had Spacey not been fired from his show?
Did anybody catch my joke?
