House of Cards is fun if you can get past the knowledge of Kevin Spacey in real life being almost worst than his character. Lots of malice, plotting, and intrigue. It will keep you entertained.
The Americans has lots of really good elements, but I found the writing to be really inconsistent from episode to episode and season to season. Lots of stuff done without any real reason or logic. That being said, some truly remarkable moments and episodes on that show, and overall some interesting plots and character work. Just don't expect a masterpiece.
