It's on Showtime... I started watching it this year, got caught up on the first season when they showed all the episodes prior to the start of the second season. I think it's a great show. I like it better than Boardwalk Empire (started watching that as well0. It's kind of like 24. There are moments when you say to yourself, that would never happen... like the relationship between Carrie and Brody.
I'm really curious to see where this season goes with the now exposed video clip. I do think the acting is really good. It's well directed. Plenty of tense moments. The story line has its moments though. But no show is perfect.

The final scene where she (main female star, i forgot her name) finds out that she was right about Brody is crazy. Can't wait to see how things progress from now on.
Brody's wife is smoking hot & loved her in Firefly & V. Great to see her again.

The reason it seems a lot like 24 is because there are a lot of the same writers, producers and creators that worked on both shows. They even have the same guy music score both shows.
Anyway yeah I do like the show however it's not a "must see" show for me, I can't myself ever buying it on DVD for example. I think the writing and acting is a lot better and a lot more realistic but still like 24 better.
It should be interesting to see where they go from here, I'd have to think Brody is caught by the end of this season, just seems unrealistic if he's not now that both Kerry and Saul know for sure or if he gets to be the new VP for example.
And yes the best part of the show is Brody's wife.Paul 13 likes this. -
Eh... I'm probably wrong, they'll take it to Estes, Carrie will be brought back to the CIA and they'll use Brody to get to Abu-Nasir. There will be 24 hour surveillance on Brody because the bigger prize is Abu-Nasir and his network.
Oh yeah and definitely on the Brody's wife support band wagon. Her and Jimmy's mom from Boardwalk Empire... total hotness. -

Love this show, but not better than 24. 24 is probably my favorite show of all time, imagine if it was on a network like showtime or HBO, Jack Bauer was the man lol. Yeah, like Finkle said it was written by the people who did 24. Between football, homeland, walking dead, and dexter, I never leave my house on Sunday lol. I was so happy that Carrie saw that video to prove she was right, can't wait for the next episode.

What's with the Deputy Director of th CIA agreeing to have dinner with the Middle Eastern reporter (Brody's contant or handler, if u want to call it)?
Is he out for a free meal, banging her or both. Wouldn't it be odd for a head spy to have dinner with a reporter? I wonder what kind of twist becomes of that.

I love this wild show. The hotel confrontation was amazing, didn't expect them to do that this soon.

Yeah I agree, I think Brody will end up going uncover for the US somehow. I am surprised the CIA took him down last episode. I figured things would have slowly taken place. Should be interesting to see where this goes.
Also this show was picked up for a 3rd season.Paul 13 likes this. -
Do they have to turn Brody? I would think that may be too predictable for this show.
I think we're going to see a struggle where they can't turn Brody. They won't be able to crack him. They'll be stuck in a spot where they can indefinitely detain a US Congressman, or be forced to let him go.Paul 13 likes this. -

They probably will try to turn him, if not they have to almost be forced to drop him as a main character since what more can he provide.Paul 13 likes this. -
Showing old unit in the last episode reminds me that there is another potential story line there. These guys appear to be independent of the CIA/Government. Could there be a situation where the CIA won't give up why Brody is being detained and it's up to these vets to figure it out? Maybe one of them gets turned or at least too far in to get out. And that brings Brody back into the mix.
I wouldn't imagine the VP would let Brody go if he knew what was going on. -

If the knowledge that Brody is a traitor gets released to the public, the VP's chances of becoming the next POTUS is dead. Would you vote for a guy who wanted a traitor as your running mate? I know it isn't the VP's fault but stuff like that can kill your campaign. I honestly can't see the VP protecting Brody but if he does it would be only be for political reasons.
True on the CIA not wanting bad press but I still think it has to him wanting to tap her arse since he's divorced or seperated. Just a guess here.
How the heck did the ME reporter get Estes code for his safe?
About the old unit, I think the drunk guy is going to be a main figurehead in wanting to get further answers & Brody's BFF (the one that banged his wife) is the one that investigates into it further.
TBH, I was hoping they (CIA) didn't arrest Brody or find out he's the traitor so quickly. I was hoping to see how he could sell out the country as the VP. It would of been awesome to watch Brody win the Presidency further down the road & be a traitor at the same time. The show could of lasted many seasons going up to that point and then finally figuring everything out.Paul 13 likes this. -
The acting on the show has been superb. Did you see Brody's face and body language when she confronted him in the hotel room?

I have a feeling brodys kid blurping he's a Mulsim will comeback & haunt him.Brody's wife will fill in the pieces with her ex lover if they talk about it down the road.
I don't see his old unit giving up in finding the truth. Brody killed his partner (walker) & the drunk mentioned that they're partners & maybe was in together. If my memory serves me correctly.

Yeah you saw his face while he was signing the check after that. man can't wait for next week. -
With the show just being picked up for a third season I wonder if this year's remaining shows are somehow changed. I mean they can't go back and re-film anything as it's already been shot but perhaps they have a few scenes were they film extra and then these are cut out or added in, ie story line change.
-
Another obvious was when the VP's & Brody's kid would get into some kind of accident after they took off on his (VP's kid) detail. You have to wonder if this will get covered up & burn the VP down the road. -
this is pretty funny... snl skit

Finally watched Sunday's episode. I thought the ending was great but it really felt too much like an episode of 24 with Kerry getting taken, then released but it was a good pay off between Brody and the VP.

Wow, tonights episode was crazy in majority of the folks at Walden's whatchamacallit got killed in the car bombing. I was wondering how the show would go on with Nazir dead. I was starting to get bored when they turned Brody & this made it all interesting again.
