HOUSE OF CARDS (2013) A+

Only available on Netflix.  I increased my rating from B+ to A+ after seeing all 13 episodes. 

A VERY well written fictional story of what goes on behind closed doors in Washington. Kevin Spacey plays the part of an extremely personable but ruthless Congressman, Francis Underwood, who spends his time manipulating the media, his constituents in South Carolina, lobbyists, the President, and other congressmen for control and power. 

 Story line jumps rapidly from one scene to another as he and his ambitious wife Claire, will stop at nothing to conquer everything. 

This 13 episode series covers and back halls of greed, sex, love and corruption in modern D.C. Well acted and directed. Fast moving. Requires that you are somewhat aware of the political operation in our nations capital. I am now praying for the the series to be renewed because we ended in the middle of an extremely exciting political and criminal situation.
