Number 5 on our list of the 11 most successful Netflix originals is House of Cards, the ongoing popular political thriller starring Kevin Spacey as a Democrat from South Carolina on the ladder to even more power and success. After not receiving the position of Secretary of State, his ambitions rises to even greater heights, and he stops at nothing to gain influence. In a character reminiscent of Lady Macbeth, his wife too plots and plans to support him in his designs. The show has been nominated for an incredible number of distinguished awards like the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Golden Globes, and that sets it apart from other web television shows.
