Feb 19, 2014 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) returns for another round of deception, manipulation and BBQ ribs in the second season of House of Cards, the delicious political thriller that has already changed television. Feb 18, 2014 | Full Review… Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune Top Critic Harping on the outlandish and silly mechanics of House of Cards' political plots feels like taking it in the wrong spirit. Feb 13, 2014 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic [It] depicts D.C. politics as a mess of personal vendettas... and then along comes Frank with his brisk, conscience-free willingness to take on what's needed to get things done -- he may be a ruthless sociopath, but there's something to admire there. Feb 5, 2014 | Full Review… Alison Willmore indieWire Top Critic Still, the second season maintains the tension of the first season, and the "Bad Boys at Work" sign is still up. Let the binging begin. Nov 17, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic House of Cards remains an absorbing tale of high-level government dysfunction populated by double-dealers who hold their aces under the table. Feb 18, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Ever so dark, House (of Cards) has a diabolical sense of humor. Feb 19, 2014 | Rating: A | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald The series forgot its identity and became a marital melodrama... [Full review in Spanish] Jan 12, 2018 | Full Review… Daniel Krauze El Financiero ... it's Robin Wright's Claire Underwood who propels the show through its second season... Sep 22, 2017 | Full Review… Judy Berman Flavorwire I really enjoyed the season, but there's a hollowness to the show that comes of its borrowing a form but refusing some of that form's basic terms, thinking that makes it fancier. Aug 28, 2017 | Full Review… Lili Loofbourow Los Angeles Review of Books House of Cards doesn't simply plod along like Frank and Claire's leisurely jog connecting the seasons; it jumps right off a narrative cliff without checking to see what's below. Feb 19, 2014 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant House of cards, of which all the opinions I had heard coincided in their exceptionality, fascinates me moderately. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 29, 2018 | Full Review… Carlos Boyero El Pais (Spain) View All Critic Reviews (45) Audience Reviews for House of Cards: Season 2 Nov 07, 2019 The follow on season is equally as good, if not, maybe even better. James M Oct 14, 2019 Enjoyed Kevin Spacey, but i dont understand the plot sometimes Joseph K Apr 08, 2019 The season starts on a high with a shocker first episode, the first half is as good as the previous season having the same strengths, that is excellent casting, performances, writing and only gets darker. The second half of season two seems to be less thought out, things seem too easy of the Underwoods. Mayank A Dec 31, 2018 Fantastic show I binged it! Dec 29, 2018 S2 of this Netflix juggernaut continues to be an addicting binge-watch full of deception, sharp writing, stunning set pieces, and vengeful performances. Ryan C Aug 02, 2018 Consistently engrossing. Vasco M Dec 16, 2017 Puntaje Original: 7.7 Señor presidente de los Estados Unidos de América Frank Underwood. Cielos que bien se siente Ayrton C Nov 19, 2017 La segunda parte de House of cards es incluso mejor que su antecesora, demostrandonos las peores atrocidades que puede llegar a hacer Frank Underwood y exponiendo una vez mas que la politica es la verdadera mafia. Andres G Nov 12, 2017 More of the strong performances, writing, and visual design that made the first season so addictive. Tino P Aug 12, 2017 The best drama show about politics, hands down. Intrigues, crimes, sex, White House.
