He's President and she's Vice President, that's kind of weird. But now he might be kicked out of office, she would assume Presidency, and could pardon him. That's even weirder. This is Season 5: I just don't know where this could possibly go in Season 6. They are really a vicious pair, as is his Assistant (i.e., murders). It's far out, bordering on ludicrous. It had a Great first season, but it's losing credibility. If you have been a Fan for 4 seasons, I would recommend, just so you see where it goes. But if you are New, don't start this series.

Been enjoying this show since day one and we were pleased with season 5 as well. Can't beat the $8.99 price tag Best Buy had for Black Friday. However, be aware that the discs are loaded in very tight slots that are part of a cardboard foldout. All the discs for every set I have came scratched due to this poor set design. To avoid further problems, I moved the discs to a dvd booklet with soft inserts. Other than that, I have no complaints.

This 5th season of House of Cards is the most gripping and engrossing one so far. The betrayals and criminal activities never stop. Everybody double crosses everybody for the pursuit of power and ego satisfaction. All the criminal activity this series attributes to politicians is, no doubt, fictional. However, the striving for power and ego enhancement by politicians which this series so vividly portrays seems all too real.

My wife's standard comment when we finish an episode: "can we watch another one"? The story lines are so interesting and draw you in (even if unrealistic). You find yourself almost rooting for the very evil people at the center of the tale because the performances are so seductive. Warning: this season, more than any before, requires a knowledge of previous storylines, so watch from Season One forward.

I think that "House of Cards" was one of the greatest new political series of all-time and it was also one of my favorite new political series of all-time. I have seen and enjoyed this series several times and I also think that "House of Cards" had a lot of entertaining, exciting and enjoyable mystery, suspense, drama and action including amazing and original personal/political storylines.

I haven't viewed this seasonal offering, nor the previous three seasons. I am waiting until the end of the series, then I'll do the binge viewing thing [ I like that more than having to wait a long time to find out how something turns out].
Based on current news concerning the main character, I will probably be watching this whole series in the next few weeks....

I thought that season 4 was not very good, and I didn't think the series had any gas left in the tank. Season 5 showed that they can still keep you coming back for more. This was a much better season, and created interest for season 6. Too bad there may never be a season 6. Because of that, you should get this season to round out your set!
