I cannot stress enough how important it is for Americans to watch the TV show from the BBC "House Of Cards" to see and understand how politics really operates.....
The sinister activities that we never talk about here in State controled media is layed bare for all to see in this incredible TV series....
Having stumbled upon it by accident I cannot tell you what watching only 1 episode did to me in underscoring the corruption that works hand in hand throughout the media and government and how it can be maipulated for personal gain when the "people" just follow along and do not learn to see things for themselves....this is an example of how the democrats work here in America...
the shows can be accessed at netflix and I urge anyone who can to see them to do so....
here is a brief description that only touches on the iceburg that awaits those who take the time to watch...
Set in Britain’s Houses of Parliament, this political satire follows the career of a ruthless MP (Ian Richardson) whose election campaign has been plagued by a number of mysterious deaths. The politician’s scheming knows no bounds, and he manages to ensnare a member of the royal family in his quest for power.
Episode 1
After Henry Collingridge becomes the leader of the Conservative Party, it’s Chief Whip Francis Urquhart’s job to mobilize support for his bid for prime minister. But when Collingridge snubs Urquhart following his narrow win, the vengeful MP begins a ruthless pursuit of the lofty office for himself.
Irony coming from the BBC, a vehemnetly anti-Israel media source. Maybe with the current economic situations going on in the UK, they should be umm, concentrating on those things...
don’t miss the piont without seeing the show......it is very education.....
The GOP should watch every episode...maybe they’d have a chance to fight back....
It’s got two sequels: To Play The King and Final Cut.
actually there are 4 episode in each of three installments....it is a marvelous educational piece and I feel like I am serving my countrymen by making them aware of it.....
See it before the goverment of Obama makes them pull it....
On the lighter side but still educational is “Yes, Minister”
The RAT party is a criminal enterprise.
It’s also well-acted, wickedly funny, and insanely entertaining.
One of my faves. I own the box-set, already. The main character it utterly evil. Worth a watch, folks.
^is^
You might very well say that but I can’t possibly comment!
Oh how I loved this series and thought the ending was so perfect even though I didn’t want it to end.
With Dave Shuster appearing in the role of Matty Storin ?!?
“Matty, dear, dear Matty”
I think the guy should play Lucifer sometime. He'd make a good one.
I believe Ian Richardson has died. Boy, was he great in this!
One of my favorite shows. I have all episodes on DVD.
Ian Richardson was brilliant in the lead. The show was produced during the leadership of Margaret Thatcher, and Urquhart was supposed to be Mrs. Thatcher in the fantasies of the BBC establishment.
Every time I see a Bawney Fwank presser, I think of this Britcom.
The incompetence is stunning.
