TV's most ruthless couple Frank and Claire Underwood are back this week when the third season of Netflix Original show House of Cards arrives on Friday February 27.
They've both done some shocking things to get to where they are. What do you want to see next? Who do you want to get their comeuppance, and who should come out on top?

Yep - Friday, too
While I feel they could get another season out of it (to match the deck of cards theory), I wouldn't be surprised/disappointed if this is the end of the line. It has all got to come tumbling down.
Too late to watch anything before work. Too impatient !
I'm hoping for more consistent writing. HOC has lots of great moments and episodes but it can also meander into mediocrity at times.
As others have said, it has to start crumbling at some point though, and I'd rather HoC goes out on a high. So I too wouldn't be disappointed if it was approaching the end of the line. Nevertheless, I cannot wait!
How sad that I've been checking since midnight
What am I hoping for? Not sure what could top THAT scene from Season 2 for a genuine wtf moment. So excited!
Will Frank get his comeuppance? And just what happened to Stamper?
What are your thoughts on season 3?
[news]House of Cards: Frank Underwood's best/worst moments[/news]
I have watched the first two episodes from Season three in 4K and have to say it looks amazing.
Kevin Spacey is fantastic as the extremely underhand Frank Underwood and his wife Claire who in my opinion is just as ruthless. After watching the second episode I got the feeling that there may not be a fourth season, but I hope I am wrong. I just can't get enough of House of Cards. What do others think?
They have to start laying down the foundations for the impeachment and death of FU.
I don't want to spoil it for you, but after watching some of season three the downfall of FU seems pretty certain.
Oh from day one it had to happen.
It was the only way the story could naturally flow.
Any other way and it would taint the entire show.
As high as he has risen he has to fall lower.
His name his legacy has to be totally destroyed.
I found the 3 minute S2 recap to be useful as there were some things I had forgotten about.
The intention was we'd do a House of Cards day but ended up doing other thinks with it running in the background when we realised nothing much was going to happen.
It felt like a ’horror/thriller' (kudos to the atmospheric lighting and sound) as whilst there's a lot of scene setting going on, you're continuously waiting for the sucker punch to the stomach that will take your breath away whilst wondering wtf just happened.
I wasn't disappointed and am already peed off by those who have watched the whole series and are saying it's a let down. Not sure why - I didn't write it
The cold, heartless and dispassionate way in which people deemed useless and inconvenient are dispatched without a second thought or backward glance is fascinating and Kevin Spacey/Robin Wright/'others' are immense.
One of the major differences from the British original is that Francis wanted the power for strong political as well as personal reasons. In the American version, the driving force for Frank just seems personal pique, so it will be very interesting to see what he does with it now.
Who said I wasn't paying attention? As a species we are capable of multitasking. Just to repeat again the show is still at a very high standard and I enjoyed it, I was just stating my disappointment that in my opinion it didn't live up to the previous two season.
No problem if you don't agree with that and I'm very happy that it lived up to other people's expectations.
