Netflix House of Cards: Forget the Underwoods, it's these 5 characters that have defined the show

'House of Cards' returns for it's sixth and final season on November 2, and here are some reasons, besides Claire Underwood, on why you need to keep watching.

'House of Cards' has a whole new look, and it's unwittingly thanks to Kevin Spacey. The 59-year-old was caught amidst a swirl of sexual assault allegations in the light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal that prompted the birth of the #MeToo movement, and his infamous defense of coming out as a gay man did little to help his situation. Claims of racism and workplace bullying were the final nails in his coffin as Netflix cut all ties with the actor and put the production for the sixth season of 'House of Cards' on an indefinite hold.
