The third season of House of Cards was supposed to be released to Netflix on the 27th of February. Today, House of Cards season 3 is out. That means you've got the opportunity to binge-watch the entire season very, very quickly before whoever's in charge finds out that this season has been released 16 days earlier than their press release says it will. It's time for you to go for it right now! Drop everything and run directly out the door – and make sure you don't tell anyone on your way!

Thank god it's Friday, right? Wait no – it's just Wednesday! Curses! Looks like you'll have to call in sick tomorrow to watch the whole set of episodes. Unless you start now!

This season begins with Chapter 27 and ends with Chapter 36, and you're getting 10 episodes in all. Each episode is 43 minutes in length or longer, while most episodes are 52 minutes or longer.

This season's description reads as follows: "President Underwood fights to secure his legacy. Claire wants more than being First Lady. The biggest threat they face is contending with each other."

UPDATE: It would appear that Netflix has pulled the release. If you got to watch any bit of even a single episode, savor it. You can lord it over your friends and relatives for the next two weeks!
