I ain't seen it, but the thing about the version I have seen, the BBC one, is that although it's politically-set, of course, it's almost more a backdrop. It's the inner workings of Francis Urquart's mind we see more than anything else; what he'll do to take and keep power, the things and the people he betrays, who he'll literally murder or have murdered to keep his grip on power. As I say, almost literally Richard III for the twentieth century.
