Using the unblock-us VPN to get access to Netflix in all the European countries, I noticed last year that they had the original House of Cards series on the Sweden loop - it was excellent as well, surpassing the "new" first season in some ways, although it looks dated obviously in comparison. 

I too finished season 2 of the new House of Cards yesterday - a great second season, fantastic bookend episodes, the 1st and last were incredible.  "One Nation, Underwood".  I love it.

Anyone else doing a marathon? I'm starting Ep 3 and it's kicking serious ass. :rock

I watched season 2 straight through on the 14th and 15th.  That stuff is addictive!  I think I'm going to start watching season 1 again to see things I may have missed.  I just purchased the soundtrack for House of Cards as I just love the theme song.  It's one of the most captivating series I've seen and it's hard to believe that I can actually root for a character like Francis Underwood as he's the complete definition of our modern politician on steroids!  You've got to see the "House of Nerds" parody that they did for the 2013 White House correspondence dinner.  It's on Utube and it's just great!  See it here : http://www.thenation.com/blog/178416/when-kevin-spacey-tweaked-press-corps-house-nerds


All the Best...

I like to go back a few months after a binge viewing and watch it again 2-3 episodes at a time.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
