Kevin Spacey remains a delightful Southern-accented villain as Frank Underwood.
House of Cards remains an absorbing tale of high-level government dysfunction populated by double-dealers who hold their aces under the table.
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.
Harping on the outlandish and silly mechanics of House of Cards' political plots feels like taking it in the wrong spirit.
[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.
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.
Overall, season two of House of Cards, which delivers a harsher view of the American political system than the initial season, offers several important insights to the viewing public...
As the series veers off into new directions, it's not afraid to ask the question - how do you fight against two people who are seemingly untouchable? As you binge watch through the series, the answer starts to fall into place.
It will all fall apart one day - but unless it feels like we're watching actual humans being ripped apart by their decisions, will we even care?
House of cards, of which all the opinions I had heard coincided in their exceptionality, fascinates me moderately. [Full Review in Spanish]
The series forgot its identity and became a marital melodrama... [Full review in Spanish]
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.
Audience Reviews for House of Cards: Season 2
-
Jan 07, 2021Frank's political ascension is rising steadily in the sophomore season. The Underwood's are strong, independent and very good at deceiving the truth to the others.
-
Oct 20, 2020Even better than the first season
-
Oct 14, 2020It was so easy, the show could have just ended at the double-knock scene in the last episode and this show could've been remembered as one of the best shows in TV history. Everything that comes after this season just doesn't compare.

Nov 07, 2019The follow on season is equally as good, if not, maybe even better.
-
Oct 14, 2019Enjoyed Kevin Spacey, but i dont understand the plot sometimes
-
Apr 08, 2019The 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.
