Everyone’s talking about: House of Cards
Netflix has announced a release date for the sixth and final season of ‘House of Cards’. The show will return on Friday, 2nd November and will see Robin Wright (Claire Underwood) take the lead role after the abuse allegations against Kevin Spacey.
Starting House of Cards from the beginning to prep for the next season! Some people actually still ask me why I watch the show after the Kevin Spacey issue. They fired his ass, rewrote the entire season, and cast Robin Wright as the lead. OF COURSE IMMA WATCH IT.
