In spite of Michael Kelly's valiant effort to keep Doug Stamper and with him, Francis Underwood, in focus, this last season is but a damp squib after the promising beginnings of the series. Clare Underwood-Hall has become one-dimensional villain, far from the complex character she one was, and the whole thing makes us yearn for the brilliant centre that was Kevin Spacey. I'm sorry I invested so much time and hope on the last season - utter disappointment.
