HOUSE OF CARDS COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS 8 DVDs

Each thrilling episode is set up by the brilliantly eerie and iconic opening credits. With its gritty Washington D.C. cityscapes and "puppet master" theme music composed by Jeff Beal, it draws fans in with the promise of things to come. Season 1, Chapters 1-13: Ruthless and cunning, Congressman Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) stop at nothing to conquer everything. This wicked political drama penetrates the shadowy world of greed, sex and corruption in modern Washington D.C. Kate Mara and Corey Stoll co-star in the first original series from David Fincher and Beau Willimon. Season 2, Chapters 14-26: Masterful, beguiling and charismatic, Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his equally ambitious wife Claire (Robin Wright) must battle threats past and present to avoid losing everything. It's Claire and Frank's intense relationship that draws us hook, line and sinker into House Of Cards. As ambitious, intelligent and cunning as each other, they also make each other stronger, and need to stand together, or divided they fall. It feels like Frank is inviting you into his inner circle, telling you things he doesn't tell his closest advisers. Look out for some of Frank's best quotes in these scenes. At a time when American politics is a hot topic in the news, House of Cards gives a thrilling look behind-the-scenes of an 'alternative' US government. Just mention the words Peter Russo, THAT 1st episode of Season 2 or finale fallouts and you'll soon be hooked by cliff hangers and things you never thought possible in the White House. Running time 21 hours and 23 minutes (647 and 636 minutes respectively) on eight DVDs in high definition and Dolby Sound. Certificate 18.
