That’s the cost of being a sexual predator

Good for him! Im happy!

Boy, the final season was BAD.
He should have to pay extra for subjecting us to it.
And yes, he does seem to be a sociopath. Maybe that is why he was so convincing in his character, because he was being himself?

Woody Allen got away with it. Epstein buddies got away with it. A new law should say if you are rich, famous or powerful, you can do anything.

Still leaves him with 44million in the bank sadly.

The British original, with the late Ian Richardson, was far superior to Spacey's version, which dragged on for way too many series, pretty much becoming unwatchable. Kind of a lurid twist it ended the way it did, when it should have ended (along with Spacey's career) way earlier.

The article mentions the MeToo movement but it’s not until near the end that we learn that Mr. Spacey has not been accused of the mistreatment of women but rather the mistreatment of men.
Lesson learned again. Important info is often buried.

OreiO, I also saw the original British version. I agree the British version was far superior. I only ever watched about half an episode of the US version. For me, and I imagine many people who saw the original, it took little time to realise watching it was a waste of time.

I always enjoyed his work and was really surprised when I about the many allegations.
One of this victims was only 18 years old. That is going over the line.
And sort of sick.
The nice thing is we will probably never have to hear this name again.

And Trump has too. He has whined 'I can do what I wa-aant' about so many things himself.
What difference does that make? Men can be and are sexually abused, assaulted and raped too. Those crimes know no boundaries whatsoever.
And it looks like Kevin's House of Cards is about to fall DOWN.

The #MeToo movement is a platform for all survivors of sexual harassment and/or assault regardless of biological sex.

@Lamilly - what you said, is actually very true, and very troubling for everyone. I guess we should all re-read our Contracts of Employment now.

I have now learned a new method to recoverosses from a bad season as a producer or ceo. Hire investigators to find dirt on actors, accuse them of that dirt, sue them to recover losses for a shows performance. I may never need to put any effort into screenplays and casting ever again

Watch the original. Superb piece of television. In general, remakes are best avoided.

Nearly all remakes suck the Big Wazoo. I merely refer you to COFF! COFF! those 'superhero' flicks.
