How could it be Insider stuff if the script is nearly identical to the BBC original?

Yep. The Founding Fathers knew all about the scum in government, and the media, for that matter.

A number of shows in this last season changed the theme from ‘House of Cards’ to “House of Homos”.

First time I heard it was an original stores, I had to laugh. I saw the bbc version the first time in the 90s. It was crazy good and awful at the same time.

My criticism of the series is the complete unbelievability of the scenarios presented. Also some of the politicians that Frank Underwood deals with cannot be as stupid as they are presented. “Gee Frank, you screwed me over 17 times in a row, so on the 18th go, I am going to still put my trust in you.” Another unbelievable fact about the show. The Doug Stemper character. In the real world, attractive young woman do not go all weak at the knees over bald, creepy, old gimpy guys. And another thing, if you have seen Boardwalk Empire, you cannot take the author Frank hired seriously.

I suspect the democrats and libs were furious that the show put any sort of bad light on democrats and the writer had to change his tune.

I didn’t see that. When he is exposed, he manipulates people into cooperation by holding out a carrot —or a whip. We’ve all seen it happen.

The UK series was also very good - I enjoyed it. But then I like Machiavellian themes.
