After the fifth season received a Best Drama Series nomination at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards , Brian Grubb of '' Uproxx '' wrote : '' House of Cards '' has not been very good for multiple seasons now , if it was ever that good . I can understand the original excitement about it . Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright were on television . And not even " television , " really . They were on a big budget series that was made for and by a streaming service . David Fincher was involved and even directed a few episodes . This was a borderline revolutionary development . ... I do n't see how anyone who watched it can think it deserves a place in the best six or seven dramas on television . The sixth season received positive reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes , the season has an approval rating of 69 % based on 64 reviews , with an average rating of 6.11 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , " '' House of Cards '' folds slightly under the weight of its labyrinthian ending – thankfully Robin Wright 's commanding performance is strong enough to keep it standing strong . " On Metacritic , the season has a score of 62 out of 100 , based on 23 critics , indicating " generally favorable reviews "
