Adapted from a British drama, there may be many restrictions on characters and plots

The political systems of the UK and the US are quite different. The power and influence of the US Congress obviously cannot be compared with that of the British House of Commons, and the role of the party whip is also much weakened. There may be situations like in the play, but the probability is not necessarily high.
Moreover, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is not elected by universal suffrage. It may be produced by a few people in the ruling party after a small meeting behind closed doors. It is extremely difficult for the United States to enter the oval table from the position of the protagonist in the play without campaigning. It's not that politics is not full of conspiracies, but as in the play, it is not particularly reasonable for the wily protagonist to rely entirely on one risky plan to gain the upper hand. Of course, what we all saw appeared. In the second half of the first season, the protagonist has begun to advance and retreat, and even to the extent of killing people himself, the whole plot began to irreversibly think about the gutter. . . (Especially the murder part, considering that American audiences have always been extremely positive on this kind of issue, there will inevitably be a detective part later...)

    For Chinese films, this American drama is at the textbook level in terms of director, screenwriter, video and production.

    Everyone has weaknesses, Frank is no exception, and his biggest weakness is that he thinks he has no weaknesses. Sometimes superstition in God is not superstition, but superstition in oneself is: the former is humble, the latter is inflated. Those who play with power will eventually be played by power: no one is a god, and they can operate and control the overall situation independently of others. There are many people and things under his hand, even if a fragile butterfly flaps its wings slightly, the tornado storm caused by it is enough to capsize his entire boat.
