Moments after Kevin Spacey was finally awarded his first Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama after eight previous nominations, viewers of the awards show got a glimpse of Netflix's Washington-based political thriller, "House of Cards," when a trailer for its third season was shown.

The 45-second trailer opened with master conniver Frank Underwood's (played by Spacey) voice saying, "You know what takes real courage? Holding it all together when the stakes are this high," while showing Underwood hunched over his Oval Office desk in his trademark subtly menacing gaze.

Season three of the political drama returns Friday, February 27 on Netflix as power couple Francis and Claire continues to scheme their way in, around, and beyond the White House.

For those who can't wait until then, though, the Latin Post offered a few suggestions.

People intrigued by pulsating trailer, can binge watch "House of Cards," and watch the rise of Spacey's character from a ruthless member of Congress to the Oval Office. It was at the end of season two that Underwood took his seat in the highest ascension in politics, taking his seat as President of the United States.

For those who can't wait until next month to get more of Underwood's clandestine manipulation of political affairs, Gizmodo recommends watching the original "House of Cards" series.

The 1990 BBC series is set in '80s London, and is centered on the House of Parliament during the twilight years of Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister.

The series is still streaming on Netflix.

If the four-episode BBC series still isn't enough to quench your thirst for political betrayal, Bustle suggests eight books to help with the itch.

"Thank You for Smoking" by novelist Christopher Buckley tops the list, where lobbyist Nick Naylor, who is also a spokesperson for the Academy of Tobacco Studies uses high-profile events to promote (and manipulate) the backlash against the cigarette industry.

Other novels on Bustle's list include "American Wife," "The Last Thing He Wanted," and "The Years of Lyndon Johnson."
