Last night, I finished the final two episodes of “House of Cards – Season 2” and here is a brief review without any spoilers.

The reason why this show is so great is for a lot of reasons. Good acting, good writing, and most importantly — it’s the show’s unpredictability that keeps us watching. This is another one of those shows who don’t care what the viewers think — they’re gonna upset you. Lets say if you like a character and he/she could get killed off anytime, unexpectedly. Plus, this show has the coolest music theme for the opening intro.

Another reason people kept watching is Frank Underwood. He maybe a pretty shady and powerful politician much like Obama but Frank Underwood is pretty like-able. The show is mostly about government corruption. A lot of the things that goes on in this show is pretty similar to what happens in politics in real life, that’s probably another reason this show is addicting. The acting of the cast is very well-done. While Kevin Spacey kills it… everyone else does a great job too like Kate Mara, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly (who plays Doug Stamper), etc.

This season had a few shockers. Usually in TV drama shows, they usually save the big shockers for the end of the season but with this show, the big shockers can happen at anytime. It didn’t matter if it was in the beginning of the show, the middle or the end… something big is gonna happen. Season 2 have more character development… you get to know more about each character this season than the last season. “Season 2” was very very good, better than Season 1. I’m sure “Season 3” will be even better and already looking forward to “Season 3”.

I can see this show being around for a long while… hopefully it’ll last for about 7 – 8 seasons, maybe more.

I always knew that Kevin Spacey is a great actor. I’ve been watching him in movies for years and I think this is his best role.

If you haven’t started this show yet, I suggest you get on it, right now. You would see why President Obama likes it so much.
