MUMBAI: OTT service provider Netflix has made available to everyone in its territories the first episode of the drama series 'House of Cards' to enjoy for one month.

Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said, "The creative team in front of and behind the camera have delivered a riveting 13-chapter narrative that we're proud to present to Netflix members today. By offering the first episode for free, including to non-members, we are opening up this fascinating world for everyone to see and are confident they'll want more."

Current Netflix members are now able to watch the entire 13-episode first season of the drama series, in territories where Netflix is available - U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Latin America, Brazil and the Nordics.

From director David Fincher 'The Social Network', who directed the first two episode 'House of Cards' is based on the BBC miniseries of the same name. This political drama starring Kevin Spacey Robin Wright and Kate Mara slithers beneath the curtain and through the back halls of greed, sex, love and corruption in modern Washington D.C.

The show explores power, ambition and the American way. Francis Underwood (Spacey) is the House Majority Whip. Underwood is the politician's politician - masterful, beguiling, charismatic and ruthless. He and his equally ambitious wife Claire (Wright) stop at nothing to ensure their ascendancy.
