…is the American version going to measure up? It’s already a foregone conclusion that I’m going to watch the rest of the British one.

That’s a good question. I have not seen the American version, and while I’ve heard a lot of people gushing over it, I’ve also heard that the motivations of the two main characters vary significantly – the American version is more selfish, the British more in service of his ideals.
I didn’t see “House of Cards”, but I did see the two subsequent ones, and it seemed to me that Urquhart was pretty much manifesting “the purpose of power is power”…
.
“Put a bit of stick about” indeed…
No ideals operating in the Brit version. None whatsoever
I’ve seen both and, without spoilers, all I can say is “The same thing, only different.”
6 episodes into the American House of Cards. I’m enjoying it.
