“This is no doubt one of the best TV drama serials Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. I got it on DVD and it was so well-done that I saw the first installment (House of Cards) during one night, and the following two installments (To Play the King and The Final Cut) the following two nights. I just could not stop watching it until it was finished. It is very suspenseful, in addition to being intelligent, revealing, and I must say quite cynical. It is based on the book of the same title by Michael Dobbs, who has been a political insider and was at one point Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party. He clearly knows the kinds of things that can happen in the highest echelons of power.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf one is to choose the single best thing in the serial, it is no doubt the performance by Ian Richardson. He is a highly capable and versatile actor and this may well be his best performance. It is really priceless to hear him saying u0026quot;You might very well say that, I couldnu0026#39;t possibly commentu0026quot; throughout the series. All the other actors are excellent, the screenplay is of the highest quality, and the whole production is exceptional.”
