House of Cards on dvd, and in Swedish newspaper

The Swedish newspaper DN now has some drive telling its readers about quality but not blockbuster things that can be seen on dvd. Yesterday the fantastic BBC political drama “House of Cards” was in focus, which surprised me and made me happy at the same time.

“House of Cards”, and the subsequent episodes “To play the King” and “Final cut”, is the story of how Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson) becomes British PM after Margaret Thatcher. It is a brilliant story and should be watched by a wider audience (especially political folks who have found their way to this blog).

So, if you are interested in politics, and if you like “The West Wing”, this is a perfect (albeit very dark) BBC-take on British politics. Can be found at Amazon, for example.
