Netflix's House of Cards is superb. Some of the reviews of imply that it is merely good, but I think they missed a lot of the subtext and misunderstood some events. Kevin Spacey's character is basically Professor Quirrelmort (if Quirrelmort was House Majority Whip). Spacey is outstanding, and the other acting is good as well. I've heard that the BBC original version is also excellent, but I haven't seen it.
