House of Cards is a fascinating and compelling series about political intrigue in Washington, D.C. I was going to say that it is a fascinating and compelling television series, but in fact not a single episode has appeared in that medium (nevertheless, the series has been deemed to be eligible for Emmy Awards). The thirteen episodes in this set were released simultaneously on Netflix, and on Netflix only. Viewers who are not Netflix customers or are not fond of steaming now have the opportunity to see this excellent show at home on Blu-ray. This set is labeled as "The Complete First Season Volume One, Chapters 1-13." I presume that this means that the next Blu-ray release will be Season One, Volume Two.
