I've got Top of the Lake in the queue from Netflix. I saw some of it on the Sundance Channel. They just sent the Bletchley series and the House of Cards (the new one), so am going to watch them first.
Have any of you seen the Kevin Spacey House of Cards? I have the original one, on Parliament, with Ian Richardson, which I absolutely loved, he's SOOO evil. I like him, period. He's also in Porterhouse Blue which is definitely "blue," and hilarious, one of my favorite movies of all time, definitely not for those whose feathers are easily ruffled by crass humor, however. But I like David Jason, too. Porterhouse and House of Cards were also books.
Spacey's HBO movie is getting rave reviews, Emmy talk, it's not about Parliament, though, it takes place in America.
