With approximately one month to go until the release of House of Cards Season 2, Netflix has come out with a new trailer and a new poster in promotion of this Emmy-nominated drama.

In the former, we see how Frank's quick ascension within Washington means major changes for himself and for Claire, but also how his unexpected rise creates some seriously powerful enemies.

Will his dark secrets be exposed?

The poster, meanwhile, reminds us that there are two kinds of pain. The kind that make you pain. And the useless kind that only leads for suffering.

And we know how Frank feels about useless things, don't we? Click to enlarge now and look for all of House of Cards Season 2 to be released on February 14.
