Underwood’s death is discussed in the first episode of season six, but it takes until the finale for the audience to learn how he actually died. Last November, Kevin Spacey was fired from the show due to allegations of sexual assault, and in the final season, Frances Underwood is never seen nor heard this season, despite the show’s long-running tease of audio diaries, suggesting that his narration throughout the show existed, at least partially, in-universe. Her efforts to salvage these eight episodes of the show are nothing less than heroic. Robin Wright deserves whatever awards the industry can throw at her for her work on the sixth and final season of House of Cards, Netflix’s political soap opera that cosplayed as prestige television.
