Binge Ranking: 16

Aka The One That Started It All. Without House of Cards, the Netflix landscape would look very different. It was their first original series, and remains one of its biggest and best hits.

The show has never quite topped those first two seasons, which were an incredibly dark and gripping account of Frank Underwood's rise to power, but it remains an entertaining watch all the same.

Robin Wright's Claire has become the more interesting character, with Frank increasingly cartoonish and subplots that add little, and it probably doesn't have many seasons left. That said, it's still an intriguing political drama with the ability to shock, hence why so many people are still binge-racing.
