The Wire precedes House of Cards by about a decade, and the former covered the dark side of politics pretty well (although restricted to just the city of Baltimore).

House of Cards was written in 1999. The Netflix version is an interpretation (the original is aboutUK politics), but the book is the basis for it.

Right, I forgot about the UK version, I was just referring to the US one.

I've never watched The Wire, but I see so many people mention it... I'm assuming I should probably go and watch it, then?

Yes, it's one of the best shows ever made.
