House of Cards: The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray]

Ok apart from Frank Underwood being a sinister politician and a murderer, you can actually learn some useful stuff from this guy. For instance, ruthlessness, it pays to stand up for yourself, even if you have to walk all over people to do it. Sometimes you have to make cold calculated decisions, Frank is a master at that. Try this out: “Sometimes the only way to gain your superior's respect is to defy him”. I followed Frank's advice on that one... It worked. Anyway, Frank is brilliant, but flawed, like many great leaders. Seriously, best acting and writing since Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica.

As far as political dramas go, the House of Cards series is one of the finest. Quality acting from the entire cast, its direction is taught with only a few missteps along the way and season two has kept that quality going from season 1. This series deserves to be watched. The blu ray quality is excellent providing a clean and overall sharply detailed picture. The audio while mostly dialogue is clear and concise. If you are looking for a bew series to get into this might just be it.

I honestly have not watched season 2 yet, but season 1 was an instant favorite and my best blind buy of lat year. The show plays like a good political thriller film, and Kevin Spacey is in top form again after some lackluster things I've seen him in recently. The whole cast just rocks and kills, the music and cinematography are amazing, and the story keeps moving making me want to know what happens next. Among the best shows ever made, hoping they didn't change the recipe for season 2.

The second season starts with Frank Underwood about to be sworn in a Vice President and taking care of any opposition as he gets ever closer to his ultimate goal as becoming the next President of the United States. The pace for this season is slower because of the Tusk/Walker storyline but it will all make sense and everything will fall into place as you see the end result. Another wonderful season of superior acting by this ensemble cast and amazing writing.

The second season of this new classic is starts off with a shocker, and keeps on going from there! This dvd release is obviously not to the video quality of its blu-ray counterpart, but still retains great detail in this Netflix release. With an excellent transfer to disc, and bonus features that were sorely missed from the season one release, Netflix manages to top with this one. Don’t miss it!

Season 1 of the "House of Cards" was just great and I was eagerly looking forward season 2. And season 2 has not disappointed me in the least. Kevin Spacey is just brilliant in the role of Francis Underwood as he transitions from being the Majority House Whip in season 1 to the vice-president in season 2. And his wife, played by Robin Wright, is equally brilliant in her role. The saga continues!

I don't have Netflix and so it had been a long wait for Season 2 to come out on DVD. It certainly does not disappoint! Builds on the storyline from Season 1 and keeps the viewer engaged and wanting more. Agree with other reviewers that some of the episodes are a bit dark, definitely more so than the first season. But overall very thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Just binged watched season 1 & couldn't wait to see more! Now 1/2 way through season 2. LOVE IT! I'm sure there are only a few of us who didn't see this YRS ago so make sure U put it on the stay @ home on a snowy day agenda.
