The poster child for proving how successful an online-only, web television series can be, Netflix's home-grown political drama has gone from strength to strength since its début in 2013.

Based on the original British miniseries, itself being an adaptation of Michael Dobbs' novel, America's version of the show has re-imagined itself for U.S. audiences; being set in Washington D.C. As a downtrodden, neglected politician, Kevin Spacey performs his role with all of the charisma you would expect of the actor.
