The original British show is, imo, one of the best pieces of television drama I have ever watched*, Ian Richardson was simply perfect as the dastardly politician Francis Urquhart who schemes his way all the way to the top in this first of three series.
Normally the idea of remaking something so close to my heart as HoC would generally result in much wailing and gnashing of teeth on my part as well as serious slandering of the ancestral breeding of the people taking part.
In this case David Fincher has adapted it for the US and Kevin Spacey is playing the title role.
As it goes I'm actually quite excited to see what they have come up with.
The good news is that all 13 episodes on season 1 will drop on Netflix Feb 1st (tomorrow)
*Except maybe "The Wire", lol.
