One single word is OMG... This is so racy that keeps you at the edge of your seat... basically I am not a big fan of Web Series, however this one has changed my view on web series. Though it started way back in 2013, I just started to see this and completed 4 seasons... What a series

Genere : Political Drama
Type : Web Series
Distributed by : Netflix , Sony
Produced by : Media Rights Capital
Rating : 18+
Leads : Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Corey Stoll and a huge list

Plot : This is set in White house USA where a congressman Frank Underwood played by Kevin Spacey a democrat from South Carolina who jumps from house majority whip to President of United states of America. Frank's wife Claire runs a NGO and moves into VP candidate of democratic and they both show the real hungry of power than money.

Analysis & Performance: This is really seat of the edge political drama and the 2 leads Kevin and Robin steals the show and no wonder they received several awards. The attitude, aggression, power hungry, crooked mind all were displayed to the core by Kevin as Frank Underwood. The highlight of this series is on instances where he talks his mind just to audience while others look in freeze mode. This is highlight to core on how Frank or for that matter any politician would think. Claire is quiet opposite with cool and composed and navigating through her hurdles from NGO to UN Ambassdor to VP candidate. There are many supporting cast and everyone has played their part. I personally liked Walker character for this attitude as a president and abrut cut-off to others once he made his decisions.

Special mention to Andrew Davies for his story and screenplay writting; thought adopted from Novel, making it gripping for all 50 hours is a great acomplishment.

Flipside : There is none in particular other than few scenes which are not that critical for the pace of this political drama or i would rather term this as political thriller. Only other point is, if you are going to watch this from first you need more time to spend to go through the entire five seasons think about 1 hr for every episode.

Overall , this series has made me to start watching web series and changed my perception.
My rating : 4.5 / 5 ; this can be seen in below table from rotten tomato reviews
