The original Brit version of this series has held up very well, we binge watched the entire set a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how it would translate into US politics.
I watched Season1 of the US House of Cards on Netflix after the season had ended. It was actually pretty good, but I could only stand to watch one episode at a time, then had to wait a day or two to see more. The show’s characters are too much like their real life counterparts: Soulless characters who seek (and achieve) power at any cost.
