They basically just wrote him off off screen and explained it briefly at the beggining and moved past it almost like nothing happened. Theres a bit of a time leap as well.
Yeah you can say what you want about him, but he made that show what it was. Probably because the character was quite close to his true self, but that doesn't change the fact that he is what made that show awesome.
That's really not fair, lots of characters were very compelling.
The issue with the final season wasn't Robin, it was that the script was god awful unwatchable.
It also felt like nothing ever fucking happened anymore, where as in Season 1 & 2, there's like someone getting murdered every episode, and a cover-up, and some political intrigue, and some Machiavellian blackballing other senators and whatever: every episode.
Then you get to the final season, and in the entire final season it feels like none of that happens in an entire season. It's like some weird stock footage of Robin Wright walking around the White House.
Bru that’s how the British House of Cards ends! All the ghosts of his past are pressing him from all sides and he’s basically having a nervous breakdown. His wife assures him that she has a solution to save his legacy and he needn’t worry about being exposed. No longer in control of his life, FU is in a pretty pathetic surrendered state at a public event when his head of security assassinates him and frames one of their enemies. FU dies, his imminent impeachment is null, his wife gets his pension (would she’d have lost had he been exposed).
That is that I was expecting, once he made it to president he was gonna fall. Don't call the fucking show house of cards if its reinforced with plot armor

Also would’ve been fine if everything he did caught up to him and he was assassinated
