It's Valentine's Day, which means flowers, chocolates, dinners you can't afford and - who can forget? - the Netflix original series "House of Cards," which recently received a ringing endorsement from none other than President Barack Obama himself.
"No spoilers, please," the Commander in Chief tweeted Thursday ahead of the premier of season two, along with "@HouseOfCards."
Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please.

The simple plea represented much more for the cast, who took it as an indication that they had a fan in the Leader of the Free World.
"It's the coolest news ever - it's very, very exciting and flattering," Kate Mara, who plays the role of the reporter Zoe Barnes, told The Hollywood Reporter. "And then it also really embarrasses me because I do some inappropriate things as Zoe, and I feel like it's like my dad watching. I'm like, 'Don't watch episode five!'"
Star Kevin Spacey says the president isn't the first politician to speak up about the political drama.
"I've heard a lot from politicians," Spacey said, singling out in particular House majority whip Kevin McCarthy. "He once said publicly, and I was a little surprised he said it publicly, 'If I could just kill one member of Congress, I wouldn't have to worry about another vote.'"
Because "House of Cards" is filmed for Netflix, the entire season is released all at once, which means fans will have a long weekend to binge watch the new season.
The show tells the story of Rep. Francis Underwood, played by Spacey, and his wife, played by Robin Wright, as the two plot their way to power - D.C. style.
