Erm.... House of Cards (on Netflix) is an American remake of the British show of the same name that was shown on the BBC in 1990? Not exactly "original content"

- dazc 10y agoThe original House of Cards was also a mini-series of just 4 episodes; Netflix would have done well to understand why that was such a good idea.
- tyleregeto 10y agoThere was three parts with 4 episodes each, for a total of 12 episodes. All very good. Sounds like you may have missed the next two, definitely worth watching.
- dagw 10y agoHave you actually watched both versions of the show? Sure they share a basic theme and a few plot points from the original are used in the first season of the US version, but the US version quickly becomes its entirely own thing and calling it a remake is simply inaccurate. That being said I do feel the US version has very much overstayed its welcome.
- rmc 10y agoYes, I have watched the UK one(s), and the first season of the US one. The US first season is very similar to the UK one. Some "localisation" changes are to be expected, and it's still called a "remake" in that sense, at least at the start.
- fullshark 10y agoOriginal means "produced by Netflix" in this context.
