Primary
The series is a cynical exploration of power and corruption, focusing on individual ambition and amorality within the political system without explicitly endorsing or critiquing a specific political ideology or offering an ideologically-driven solution.
The series features a visibly diverse supporting cast, though its central figures are traditionally cast. The narrative focuses on political ambition and corruption, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
House of Cards includes several characters with queer identities, notably Frank Underwood's bisexuality. These are depicted as facets of complex individuals, often intertwined with power dynamics and manipulation. The show neither explicitly affirms nor denigrates LGBTQ+ identity, treating it as incidental to the characters' overarching arcs and the series' themes of political ambition and control, resulting in a neutral portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The American adaptation of "House of Cards" maintains the established genders of its core characters from the original British novel and miniseries. No character canonically or historically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in this show.
The 2013-2018 series "House of Cards" is an American adaptation of a British novel and miniseries. While it recontextualizes characters for an American setting, the core characters maintain the same racial identities as their source material counterparts.
