Finished the teleplay by Beau Willimon.
Willimon has clearly captured the political drama category. Following up FARRAGUT NORTH, he now adapts this series for NETFLIX.
Story follows Francis "Frank" Underwood as he's passed over for Secretary of State by the President-Elect. This sets into a motion a pure political power play as Underwood deftly uses all of his tricks and skills to gain what he feels is rightfully his.
Willimon is a terrific writer able to turn the story into a page-turner. Clearly defined characters that turn politics into a bloodsport. He brings to life the behind-the-scenes motives as well as illustrates all the hidden agendas and con-games at play.
HBO should've big higher for the series which should become the apothesis of smart tv.
