    I have enjoyed the entire series. Obviously nothing will live up to the first 2 seasons, but I really like it. A very well done and topical show.

    Carrie seems to have her crazy under control for now, which is good, though I am sure it will be back sooner or later...

    Haven't started the season and it is piling up on my DVR. For some reason, I don't have much of an urge to watch it. Has it gotten any better than the last couple seasons?

    You didn't like the last two? I thought they were good. This is good too...different
    Actually the season last year in Germany was pretty good. It was seasons 3 and 4 that were pretty rough.....especially season 3 with Brody STILL being alive. I guess it's just the same old story of Carrie going rogue and trying to save the day....reminds me of the later seasons of 24 where Jack Bauer has to go rogue and do it on his own! Which makes sense since the 2 showrunners worked on 24. I'll probably check it out eventually.

    Indiff---you gotta start watching again. This season is really well done thus far. This week's episode, especially. Has the feel of a good spy thriller. Nice use of ominous music lurking slowly in a bunch of scenes this week. Our government is up to no good...

    This seriously might be my favorite season since the first. Fucking creepy as hell.

    I love that as fucked up as Quinn is, he's still mostly on point.

    Fuck you, Dar!

    Not so far into the new season that you can't get your binge on.

    Yeah, I can't take this. So stressful

    Fuck me - I cried over a fictional character dying.

    Loved the mighty Quinn.

    What a finale.

    Seems that way? Partially at least? She just paranoid or "un-American"?

    I thought it was really good. Quinn had to go. Approaching Brody level with how many lives he had.
  • hedonisthedonist standing on the edge of forever Posts: 24,524
    I think so, yes - about Dar.

    Excellent season and deception work at the end. Not really liking Keane too much anymore.

    Now I get to go back into "c'mon, 2018 premiere!" mode again.

    So what is the deal with Keane then? I was a bit confused by the ending...

    I'm not sure, Juggs. Seems like she gave in to fear and made some kind of deal with...?

    Tried watching this new season but couldn't even make it through the 1st episode.  I can't take the right wing conspiracy theorist dude and Keane is just awful.  Season 1 of this show is still one of the best single seasons of TV ever, but some shows just go on too long....
  • hedonisthedonist standing on the edge of forever Posts: 24,524
    It's been interesting overall, and last week's was pretty good (I use my personal standard of how many times I say "oh, shit!" while watching).

    Agreed though, the first season was pretty close to perfection.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,582
    I like this season.  Was a little slow starting but I have really enjoyed it.

    The first couple seasons were an awesome story.  Since then it has taken a topical turn, which I kinda enjoy.

    First few episodes were rough. I was worried.......Last two weeks have been stellar though

    Anyone notice Oleg from The Americans playing another Russian in this show now?

    Digging this season.  Another good episode.  Not sure how you get around the Dante stuff...

    What a terrible show this has turned out to be. That last episode may have been the most boring hour of television I've ever watched.

    It's suffering greatly from trying to be topical. In terms of dramatic effect, nothing can top the actual shithouse in which we currently dwell in the U.S.

    Agreed on Sunday's ep.  I predicted the whole custody hearing thing.

    What a finish. I really hated the way the season started but I think they stuck the landing yet again.

    I was really hoping that they would just kill off Carrie and be done with it. She's a garbage person, and I'm sick of watching her.
