Yeah it's a shame, even though the show is crap now. It would have been nice to get an ending.

Killing him off between seasons or off camera is just not going to work. Underwood is the show.

No wait! I have an idea!

you skip ahead and do it mockumentary style. It's just interviews of the other characters talking about his downfall! Underwood only appears as still shots and grainy video of his assassination.

I never finished the last season, and don't think I'll start this one. This show has been mostly terrible ever since they got rid of Freddy's BBQ joint.

The whole thing just feels like it's designed specifically to be shared in gif form on tumblr, with the caption "YASS QUEEN". Hollow pandering to shake off the Spacey stink. There is a line in ep1 (the only one of s6 I've seen so far, to be fair) where Claire Underwood goes "the first woman president isn't going to keep her mouth shut!". That's when I knew it was going to suck

Season 1 was good. Season 2 was great. Season 3 was OK. Season 4 was terrible and I stopped watching.
