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.

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....

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.

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.

Carrie seems to have her crazy under control for now, which is good, though I am sure it will be back sooner or later...
The President-Elect is growing on me.
Loving this season.
QUINN!

Fuck you, Dar!
Does it get better?
Return to it!
Not so far into the new season that you can't get your binge on.
Come back

Loved the mighty Quinn.
What a finale.
So....Dar was right?
I thought it was really good. Quinn had to go. Approaching Brody level with how many lives he had.
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.
Agreed though, the first season was pretty close to perfection.
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?
