1. Richard III is this

No doubt that Kevin Spacey makes a great role as Frank Underwood. Personally I started watching the show just because this actor is the protagonist, clear that all House of Cards liked and so I followed faithfully. The thing to note here is how complex it can be for making such an epic like Underwood, and in this case, the earlier work of Spacey gave the character background perfect for his role as starred in the play Richard III. This staging of the play by William Shakespeare directed by Sam Mendes, seems to be the perfect lead for a character like Underwood.

The climb to power that makes Francis is different due to differences between the institutions of both countries. What is you will not miss manipulation, false flattery, the use of people … the deaths. Even the protagonist breaks the fourth wall, this resource does masterfully Ian Richardson. Wonderful.
