They know that there will be multiple allegations against Spacey. They know because like Harvey w
kstain they knew all along and did nothing about it.
I thought Spacey was a great actor. I say was because his career is effectively over.
He didn't come out and deny he attempted to rape a child. Instead he tried to blame it on alcohol and the fact he now drives on the other side of the road.

As to House of Cards - it had its moments but I felt it never really fulfilled its promise. A good drama though but as others have said by the time we've watched the next series it's probably run its course anyway. I like the way Netflix is portraying itself as taking some kind of moral stance while still showing the next series. Talk about an empty gesture, but indicative of the industry's true concerns.

But they're not are they? They've made the statement that the decision had already been taken months ago - before the allegations were made. People are assuming it's related, and it may or may not be true - but suggesting that they are taking an empty moral stance when they've explicitly stated it's unrelated seems a bit harsh.davek_964 said:

Ah OK. Is it pure coincidence they've released a statement now then? If it isn't then it's an empty gesture to go on and broadcast the next series. Are you saying the statement issued by Netflix has nothing to do with the K.Spacey 30 yr old non-incident currently being discussed?popeyewhite said:

I'm saying that it would be an empty statement of they'd said it was related but continued filming of the next series.Saying it's unrelated may or may not be true, and the timing is curious - but since they have said it's unrelated I wouldn't accuse them off empty statements / gestures myself.

Although first mooted a year ago, the decision wasn't finally made to end at a sixth season 'til yesterday, when all those involved in production were told. That's not unrelated surely. Call me an old cynic... .Saying it's unrelated may or may not be true, and the timing is curious - but since they have said it's unrelated I wouldn't accuse them off empty statements / gestures myself.
The statement..
“Media Rights Capital and Netflix are deeply troubled by last night’s news concerning Kevin Spacey. In response to last night’s revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported."
...Also ranks as being pretty empty.

As above, as brilliant and significant as it was, it outlived it's welcome anyway imho.
Might be a good time to call it quits.
That was my first thought when I heard the news, House of Cards was at it's best when he was trying to get into the White House, the next series would feel like an epilogue anyway. Might be a good time to call it quits.
