On eve of season three, 'House of Cards' stands tall

Season three of "House of Cards" comes out Friday and like its central character, played by Kevin Spacey, the gripping Netflix political drama is at the top of its game. Holding it all together when the stakes are this high," Spacey's character Frank Underwood says in one of the trailers that have trickled out ahead of the premiere. As in previous seasons, Netflix is releasing all 13 episodes in one fell swoop, giving fans a whole weekend to indulge in the show's Machiavellian twists and turns. Netflix won't say how many subscribers watch "House of Cards" from its online streaming service, but it remains one of the most talked-about programs on the American small screen.
