Critic Reviews
House of Cards (2013) Review: Power, Played to Camera
★★★★☆
House of Cards is Netflix's landmark Washington drama about a ruthless congressman's rise, superb in its early seasons before later years lose their grip.
Yes, with reservations. The first seasons are gripping political theatre for fans of antihero drama, but the quality slips later and the final season is the weakest.
