Just in case you didn't manage to get through all thirteen hours of it when Netflix accidentally uploaded it early by accident a couple of weeks ago, season three of House Of Cards is here for real! What's that kook Frank Underwood going to get up to this time? Who else is his wife going to sleep with? And will Stamper ever get the hair piece he so clearly desires? Apologies for not taking the show entirely seriously, but the majority of it is so po-faced that you just need a bit of light relief every now and again. Unless that hacker's guinea pig comes back, which would be nice. Still, there's a reason House Of Cards doesn't want you to be relieved: it's gotta keep ratcheting up the tension, the stakes, and the body count. How else are you going to take Frank Underwood seriously? You already knew he was pretty cold when he strangled that pooch, and it's only been downhill from there. In fact, Kevin Spacey's starring role is so enigmatic plus he talks directly to you it's difficult to think of anything else. Which means that you might have missed any number of Easter eggs, weird cameos and other coincidences that have popped up in the show's first two seasons. Whether you're having a break from your binge, are prepping to take on this third helping or are just a trivia junkie, here are ten mind-blowing facts you never knew about House Of Cards.
