John J. O'Connor New York Times Apr 9, 2019
The timely potboiler becomes surprisingly compelling. Much of the credit belongs to Ian Richardson's scarily perfect performance as Francis Urquhart. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Apr 9, 2019
House of Cards is no less than evil at its grandest, bolstered by one sterling performance after another as it moves smoothly toward its jolting conclusion. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune Apr 9, 2019
Rarely has anything this side of Le Carre contained so many tantalizing twists... It's all managed in plausible manner, too, thanks to a stunning script by Andrew Davis. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chavel D @RT49389525 Apr 6, 2024 Masterful writing, acting, and directing. The breaking of the 4th wall was ingenius and funny as eff. For his career and works Ian Richardson (R.I.P.) should have gotten a Knighthood. Word is he didn't due his portrayal of Francis Urquhart and the protrayal hitting to close to home for the UK government and the Royals. Best UK series I've ever seen and I watch alot of Brit series.
