This show is an absolute gem. Having finished the US version of house of cards, I thought I'd try the UK original.
Very pleasantly surprised. The first two seasons, whilst only 4 episodes each are certainly superior to the Netflix US version.
Francis Urquart is an absolutely diabolical character. A master manipulator, he pulls the strings and gets what he wants. Stopping at nothing. Sure, some of its pretty far fetched... Wiping out those who could damage him with car bombs! Faking a kidnapping attempt on the King etc.
Less so than pushing a reporter under a subway train in a packed metro station as happens in the US verr
It's more interesting now there really is a king and the gas explosion almost has some weird similarities with the grenfell fire.
It's a shame TV shows of this quality are so rare from the UK.
