House of Cards is a political drama television series, starring Kevin Spacey. It was developed for an American viewing audience by Beau Willimon for Netflix.

Ruthless and cunning, Congressman Francis Underwood (Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey) and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) stop at nothing to conquer everything. This wicked political drama penetrates the shadowy world of greed, sex, and corruption in modern D.C. Kate Mara (American Horror Story) and Corey Stoll (Midnight in Paris) costar in the first original series from David Fincher (“The Social Network”) and Beau Willimon (The Ides of March).

The future of this trend hinges on reviews, which are currently doing well. The show is sitting at 62 of 100.

At this point, the concern is that even if the reviews continue in a positive direction, will they be good enough to justify the $100 million price tag for the cost of this project?

That, is the question.
