Summary

Are the Cards Collapsing?: A “House of Cards” Season 5 Preview

Art of Living series, Smithsonian Associates

As part of our Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living Series, The Not Old Better Show presents, professor, attorney, author and lecturer, Stef Woods who will discuss the House of Cards, by episode and detail, where we can talk and learn about the House of Cards, during the upcoming Smithsonian Associates program, March 15, 2017, at the Ripley Center, Washington DC.

As fans eagerly look forward to marathon-watching the fifth season of the Netflix hit “House of Cards,” Stef Woods of American University looks at what might lie ahead for Frank and Claire Underwood. She analyzes the complex relationship between the often-unlikable power couple (Claire has pronounced “I’m done trying to win over people’s hearts. …We can work with fear.”), with an eye to whether their love for each other is stronger than their love for power, and if viewers are rooting for their success or their downfall.
