I think you've got the right explanation. There have been a few TV shows about the presidency since The West Wing and none of them caught on—they were all terrible shows!
The West Wing and House of Cards are popular for the same reason: exceptional writing, production and acting.
- __david__ 13y agoI agree, and that's the reason it kind of rubs me the wrong way when people attribute House of Cards to Netflix's statistics on what people want to watch—which always seems neglect the fact that the show is very well written, very well directed and very well acted. To make an analogy to start-up land: having the great idea is only the first part—actually executing the great idea is actually the more important (and difficult) part.
