Updated synopsis for Seasons 1 - 5 Masterful, beguiling and charismatic, Frank Underwood and his equally ambitious wife Claire continue their ruthless rise to power in Season 2 of "House of Cards". Behind the curtain of power, sex, ambition, love, greed and corruption in modern Washington D.C., the Underwoods must battle threats past and present to avoid losing everything. As new alliances form and old ones succumb to deception and betrayal, they will stop at nothing to ensure their ascendancy.

Review: Even crazier than season one (prior season spoilers) - +++Warning, this contains spoilers from season one, but no major season two giveaways+++ The second season of House of Cards picks up shortly after the events that ended season three, with Frank having maneuvered his way into the vice presidency, from where, unsurprisingly he keeps up the effort to take down President Walker, all while acting as an ally. Yet, he has his own loose ends from the setup and murder of Peter Russo while Zoe, with whom he was having an affair starts to piece together how crooked he is. The season has episodes that hit on several real-life themes, including entitlement reform, state-sponsored cyberespionage, money laundering in campaign finance, anthrax scares, sexual assault in the United States military, abortion, and Federal government shutdowns. Some of those would end up actually being prophetic a few years after the season aired (in 2013). But, the main plot throughout the season continued to be Frank's power grab and just how ruthlessly he would execute it. For those who get the Blu-Ray set, this season actually does have extras. There are five featurettes that range in length from four minutes to just under twenty. The longest one is basically a making-of documentary that goes through the process of producing an episode and how the series gets plotted out. The A/V quality of the Blu-Ray set is very good, with a lot of great visuals of the Washington DC area. The only negative to the set is again the horrible way in which the discs are stored in the case (in very tightly packed slip pockets). It is very hard to get the discs out without either tearing the pocket or risking scratching one of the discs. Overall, the season is great. It is a mixed bag given the allegations that have come out against Kevin Spacey since he was fired from the series. Even so, his is not the only contribution to the series. This season, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, and Rachel Brosnahan all turned in wonderful performances, as did Sebastian Arcelus, who plays Zoe's coworker at the Washington Herald. It was absolutely one of the best dramas of its time and is still worth watching.
Review: Riveting series - This series is as good in its way as Downton Abbey and The Vikings are in theirs. A couple of the scenes in this second season are so shocking I had to rewind to be sure I saw what I thought I saw. As a conservative, I'm pleasantly surprised that liberal politicians are portrayed as ruthless, ambitious, elitist, and narcissistic as many are, though rarely described that way in the mainstream media. Still, the strength of the series is that the characters are not "types" but individuals with their own peculiar strengths and weaknesses. It's unusual that compelling characters disappear (some through murder) to be replaced by new people just as compelling but in different ways. It keeps the viewer from boredom. Perhaps the greatest strength is the quality of the acting, not just by Spacey and Wright but by all the actors playing lesser roles. The quality of the writing varies from episode to episode but is generally well above average for a TV series. I watched all of Season 2 in two days it was so riveting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent demonstration of the American system of power, position and wealth as it applies to criminal acts, politics, etc.
*by W***S on July 18, 2014*

This is an outstanding set of programs. The acting is first rate. I have only had a few tech issues but, overall this is outstanding. It is so good that after each episode, you feel like you need a shower. They have only one overriding core value - preserve their individual power and position at all costs. Anything else can be rationalized. The Francis Underwood character makes a profound statement in Season 1 that some fools who come to WDC come for the money. Money is nothing. Power is what they should be focusing on. This is a big part of the current deadlock and low approval rating of Congress - they are totally focused on being professional politicians and getting the funding from the 20,000 plus lobbyists. The term, "public service" as practiced by our founding fathers has lost its meaning today. The influence of the VP on the POTUS as reflected in this series is reminiscent of the Chaney / Bush eight years when the VP had more direct involvement and decision making than in any other administration. Contrast the VP / POTUS relationship in this series with FDR / Truman or JFK / LBJ. This series also clearly demonstrates the American system of power, position and wealth as it applies to criminal acts, politics, business deals, etc.
