Wait, politics ruins stories, but you like House of Cards?


Not OP but I agree with them and your question is great.

Had I written what OP said, I would be clarifying that I mean "pushing personal politics via messaging in the show." HoC is remarkably a-political in that respect. They portray the power struggles and corruption fairly equally across the board regardless of party affiliation. More so than party though is simply they show how hollow the beliefs really are. It's about power and manipulation, not so much about policy. Of course such wide statements are nearly guaranteed to be wrong applied to some politicians, but as someone who has been all over the map politically throughout my life, they absolutely nail the main themes that I've noticed nearly everywhere.


"All parties are fairly equally corrupt" is a personal political view. Anyway, it's not a series, but I bet you and OP would enjoy The Irishman.
