House of Cards: Season 2

House of Cards is perfectly tailered for Netflix. It seems like it belongs on HBO, but I love being able to rip through as many episodes as I want to without waiting until the next week. If True Detective were on Netflix I would've ran through all episodes in one sitting, possibly would have bought diapers so I wouldn't have to move... In any case House of Cards Season 2 jumps in at a break-neck pace and rarely slows down. It's a political drama/thriller that moves at such a crazy pace you can't question if everything happening even makes sense. Your inability to think about why that person would go along with almighty Frank Underwood's plan (Kevin Spacey's character) helps out a lot. Robin Wright is just incredible. Not being an enormous fan of her, or really knowing a lot of her work, I can still guarantee this is the best she's ever done. Everyone is excellent, but Spacey and especially Wright are phenomenal. The show follows the twists, turns, plots, and schemes of their fake White House. It's pretty awesome and I can't recommend catching up on Season 1 and then plowing into season 2. Bottom Line: Up there with True Detective and Breaking Bad as the best drama in television
