The British version of House of Cards was pretty much a trilogy of mini series. So, three 'seasons' of four episodes each. They did a really good job of fleshing the first US season out without making it feel weak. It also introduced the phrase "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment." into the British language.

The parallels they drew from aspects of modern American culture to the recently post-Thatcher UK were also really well done. In particular the Philadelphia ship yard in place of the coal mines.

I hope they go the British way of short, sweet and quality rather than drag it on season after season but so far, so good.

The British version is on Netflix instant too, btw.
