An adaptation of Michael Dobbs' novel, which was already a British mini-series, House of Cards presents a biting portrait of the intersection of district and Washington politics, capitalism, and perhaps most-fascinatingly, Claire Underwood’s non-profit/charitable organization, CWI (Clean Water Initiative).
