it was good when there was carry over from the first three seasons. since they have gone to one season story lines you can't invest emotionally with some of the characters, but it's still a good show. [Reply]
It may be because I just binge watched all six seasons of Game Of Thrones in the past three weeks and then went directly to Sunday's episode - but that might be the worst hour of television I've ever watched. [Reply]

Completely underwhelming. They totally stumbled out of the blocks with the season premier. [Reply]
Okay now I'm starting to not just worry about the series losing it's fastball but it just doesn't belong in the top level of shows.
2nd show was the same as the 1st. Didn't really move the show forward that much at all. Slow. Carrie as a mom sucks. They need to pick up the pace. [Reply]
Yeah not liking the newest season. My favorite characters are Quinn by far, then Saul and then Carrie. I like them all but it sucks that Quinn isn't his badass self and I dont know what storyline would bring him back. As others said Carrie as a mom is boring and theyve made Saul kind of a jerkoff [Reply]

Agreed. This season is more like Homelife than Homeland. [Reply]
Just watched last weeks episode. A little better, but still lagging. I hate what Quinn has become. He was definitely a show driver before, now he's just a shell. Still a bit of a badass, but it's distracting how hobbled he is now. Carrie is a shitshow - everything she does just blows up in her face. I guess that will be the angle Saul will use to get her back active with the CIA. The only interesting storyline going on right now is the chess match between Dar Adahl and the President Elect.
I'll keep going, but so far I'm not overly impressed. [Reply]

This was me. I couldn't take her seriously through most of it and without him, I lost all interest. There are about 15 other actors I would like to see play Carrie and really make something great of this character. I actually like Claire Danes usually, but I'm just not buying her in this. To be fair I also thought Saul fell apart as a character too so it isn't all on her. [Reply]
Now this is a GREAT clip. A slow burn of establishing a more credible narrative where everyone justifiably thinks you're crazy when you're more passionate and inarticulate than anything.
