I loved the original UK series House of Cards and would recommend.
Enjoyed the US version, with Kevin Spacey in the lead role, and was starting to prefer it as it went on longer and was better developed. It's gone downhill in recent series and with Spacey's departure I'm not sure whether it will survive.
