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!

The show takes us into the world of a politician who will do anything to get power. Frank Underwood, and his wife Claire, will stop at nothing until he reaches the top of the latter. We see Frank U. go from congressman to Vice President. He does not care who he hurts or destroys to get what he wants.

This masterpiece of British to American translation of an interesting series is what good television is made of today. The clever plot twists, the layers of stories, and the acting of Kevin Spacey have you constantly rooting for his success - even while it runs contrary to the ideals of our country's founders.

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.

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.
