... but once I did, I found an engrossing well-acted and well-written drama.
Ironically, what the viewer savors about the character that Spacey plays is just what I don't like about him. The smirking hint of evil that seems to lurk behind his smooth charm.
This seems to be the point. Nice people, successful people, people who are good husbands and good students - can have an evil streak.
I did see 'House of Cards' when it was a BBC production. This adaptation does it justice.
