BBC America just played this ahead of the Blu-Ray release, so I dragged out the entire trilogy (House of Cards, To Play The King and The Final Cut)from my DVD collection. Somewhat dated (this was originally broadcast in the early-to-mid 90s) Eastern European references aside, this black comedy, not-as-lethal version of Richard III is still incredibly entertaining.

The schemes of a ruthlessly ambitious British politician who will stop at nothing to get to the top.

Men Behaving Badly (11 tv items)

"A hilarious (if you understand British politics and humour) but equally dark modern-day take on Machiavelli. The late Ian Richardson is positively giddy as he breaks the fourth wall and lets the viewers in on his malevolent machinations. The series continued with "To Play The King" and "The Final Cut," based upon the Michael Dobbs trilogy. "
