TAKE IT HOME
Thanks to Netflix's recent American Emmy-nominated version starring Kevin Spacey, there's renewed interest in the excellent original British political series House of Cards. Starring Sir Ian Richardson and based on the novels of Michael Dobbs, it's a great piece of tongue-in-cheek political intrigue that still entertains.
