“House of Cards,” a political thriller directed by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey as a US congressman, debuts today on Netflix. The show, based on a BBC miniseries of the same name, is the first show produced specifically for Netflix, which is releasing all 13 episodes at once.
“House of Lies,” a dramatic comedy about management consultants starring Don Cheadle, recently began its second season on Showtime.
House of Games, a 1987 movie about con artists, was written and directed by David Mamet (in his directorial debut), and stars Joe Mantegna and Lindsay Crouse.
House of Games -- GREAT movie!

So many cinematic "Houses" are haunted ones:
House of Wax
House of 1,000 Corpses
House of Good and Evil
House of the Dead
House of Anubis (UK TV series). In that one, I hope the jackal-headed god is housebroken ;)

An American version of "House of Cards"? I'm having trouble imagining how that could work, though I'm not entirely sure why. I'm sure there's plenty of intrigue and manipulation in American politics, but somehow it wouldn't be the same. Still, I have to give them credit for making Kevin Spacey look more like Ian Richardson than I would have thought possible.

Houses, clearly, are Very Serious Places!
