I've not seen the original, but my all time favorite UK political thriller miniseries is Edge of Darkness. Holy fuck is that miniseries creepy. Joe Don Baker is fucking epic in it.
At least House of Cards seems like a fitting use of the premise, unlike the god awful Mel Gibson American remake of Edge of Darkness.

I found it on torrent a few years back.
I highly, highly, highly recommend seeing it. It just embodies creepy UK 1980s shit.
Also vibrator kissing.

House of cards can't even polish true detective's boots

I love that Frank and Claire will, literally, fuck anyone in their quest for power.

True Detective is good but people are throwing way too much credit at it imo. It hasn't had a chance to get that good yet, but I'm hanging in there to see where it goes.

some of the cinematography alone blows every series away.
They're doing one story a season. Chances are Woody and Matt won't be in Season 2.
Thats what makes this show so amazing. I am afarid season 2 will never live up to this season. Hopefully they get some amazing actors signed on for the 2nd season.
that being said Matthew McConaughey is a better actor than i ever gave him credit for,

Probably because he's always cast in shitty rom-coms.
