'House of Cards' season 6 review: The final season marks a return to more nostalgic times

How does 'House of Cards' fare without the much-maligned Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood? Surprisingly well.

'House of Cards' returns for its long-awaited sixth and final season this coming Friday on November 2, and unless you've been living a rock you know that former lead Kevin Spacey will no longer be a part of the show. The numerous allegations of sexual assault against the Academy Award-winning actor left Netflix with little choice but to terminate him from the show, as well as all other pending contracts with the network. It cost them an estimated $39 million dollars in the process and possibly a non-insignificant chunk of the 'House of Cards' fanbase that had tuned in for what had been a sub-par season 4 and season 5 (in comparison to the first three seasons) just because of Frank Underwood's continued Machiavelian exploits, ruthless pragmatism and unfettered ambition.
