House of Cards

After being denied a senior role in a new Conservative government, a seasoned party enforcer begins a carefully controlled campaign to undermine the Prime Minister.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy witty, sinister political thrillers with Shakespearean ambition, direct audience asides, and a compact story; Not for you if you prefer hopeful politics, realism at every turn, or large ensemble dramas.
