Robin Penn Wright & Kevin Spacey are awesome in it. Everyone in it is spectacular. Perfectly cast, perfectly written, spell binding (to someone like me who loves politics).

But when Frank personally shoved the reporter in front of the subway that did it for me. Was over my line and we quit watching.

This is actually a remake of the British miniseries decades ago. I saw that one, too, and it was wonderful. Killing the reporter was in that one, too, except he pushed her over a roof.

This remake is now into totally new territory and no longer a remake. The original one was a few shows, 3 maybe. This one is a whole running series with multiple seasons, so is carried much further on.

I love love love it.
