Oscar-Preisträger Kevin Spacey brilliert in der Emmy-prämierten Serie 'House of Cards' als machthungriger Politiker Francis Underwood, dem jedes Mittel recht ist, um seine politischen Ziele in Washington zu erreichen. Er spinnt eine heimtückische Intrige gegen die Regierung und überlässt dabei absolut nichts dem Zufall. Robin Wright, als seine berechnende Ehefrau Claire, treibt ihn zum Äußersten und würde dabei auch selbst über Leichen gehen. (ORF)

House of Cards (2013)
A masterclass of Machiavellianism where, if we looked closely, we would surely find the vast majority of freeloaders in our illustrious parliament. And it doesn't matter if you are a democrat or a republican, a socialist or an atheist, you will all end up soaking in the filth of power. So finally we have a series that doesn't rely on would-be shocking twists or tired cliffhangers at the end of each episode to make the excited viewer want to come to the screen next time. On the contrary, there's a very sophisticated script that chills at times and where Kevin Spacey literally relishes being a political swine, even with his unusual on-camera monologues. Don’t let the weaker start discourage you, the best comes with the later episodes and it all builds up fantastically towards the end. So, now with the second season. It’s even better. The creators cut the subplots to a minimum, reduced the number of Underwood's adversaries, and let him face a single strong one, which benefited the series. The final episodes are emotional carnage, the last shot is a masterpiece, and I hereby officially declare Frank Underwood the greatest human scum in the history of TV.
