7 Reasons why “House of Cards” Season 2 was Awesome

SPOILERS!

It's ridiculous, unrealistic, and wonderfully dark, but also so entertaining. It probably won't win this year at the , but here are some reasons voters could cast their vote for House of Cards.

“One heartbeat away from the presidency and not a single vote cast in my name…”

Remember when Frank gave us this sterling piece of advice when dealing with Washington? Hopefully you listened to him, this season got messy.

Then, this one image basically summed up House of Cards. No matter what Frank and Claire do, just remember…

Remember when Claire got to be a total BAMF during this interview? Also, Robin Wright is a freaking goddess.

You know that prostitute from season one? She was freaking amazing this season.

How could you forget about this shocker. Admit it, you screamed a little when this happened. Goodbye Zoe Barnes and your wonderful hoodies.

And last, but not least…

How could we talk about House of Cards season 2 without mentioning the now infamous desk knock. All hail President Underwood!

Check out our Emmy Spotlight for the show here! What were your favorite moments from House of Cards season 2?
