11 Beloved TV Shows With More Bad Seasons Than Good

One of the first TV shows (along with Orange is the New Black) to truly put Netflix on the map, House of Cards hasn't really stopped being a critical darling since its debut.

However, while it started strong, the series which was once praised for its authentic realism has slowly transformed into a cartoon parody of itself, becoming so overblown with its political narrative and moustache-twirling villains that it's difficult to take seriously.

Arguably, Netlfix's crown jewel hasn't been the same since season 3, dipping in quality with every following year on the streaming service. The talent on show made it worth keeping an eye on, but there's probably a reason why the show couldn't retain the majority of the great actors that joined its cast.

For obvious reasons, it looks like the series is going to go through a major shake-up going forward, so let's hope that a new direction could bring about a creative renaissance, or it might just be better if Netflix cancels it completely.
