Kevin Spacey works House of Cards on Netflix (2013–2018) as Frank Underwood. The early climb is streamer confidence in a whisper; this file is the on-screen work, not an alibi. s01e01 is the desk's start for Frank Underwood. Chapter 1 as the binge-era Washington drop: fourth-wall villainy as furniture, a full-season prestige bet on day one.
s06e08 still shows Frank Underwood's stance. Chapter 73 after the Spacey-exit rewrite — Claire holding the brand the binge machine had crowned, a last numbered file. File s02e01 as position, not homework. Chapter 14 as the season-two full drop: marriage of blackmail still the operating system, not a weekly tease. We keep him in the 2010s ledger because the serial still needs a pulse.
The later exit is part of the public record; this file is the on-screen climb, not a rehabilitation. On TV Flash we track Frank as 2010s catalog craft you watch with the lights on — a performance that taught a platform how to look like Sunday, then left a stain the credits cannot wash. Kevin Spacey keeps House of Cards specific so the Netflix run still has a pulse. Netflix (2013–2018) remains the assignment; Kevin Spacey is the human checkpoint.
