It's been a pretty decent season in my opinion. Only 3 episodes left in the season and that was a
pretty interesting last 5 minutes setting up next week.

The best what? The best at boring the viewers to tears? Tonight's episode was solid, but the majority of the current season has been shit on a shingle. Nothing has come close to season one.

Good episode last night. I'm looking forward to seeing Quinn go rogue next week.

My thoughts exactly. This season has been a bit uneven but coming together pretty strongly in my opinion.
2 more episodes to go this season.

12 episodes. I'd say that is about right these days.

The last couple episodes have been much better. Quinn is saving the show. He would make a great Mitch Rapp.

Intensity. This show has great endings. I agree they start slow but they set up everything. If you quit watching, start again. Shits goin down. My poor Fara. She is (was) stunning.

She's nowhere near as attractive as Brody's wife, who had some delightful nude scenes in season 1.

I agree the nudity gives her an edge but look at her. My mouth waters....

Just binged watched the season to this point. Slow start. But then pretty solid except for the Carrie LSD episode.

I thought it was a 10 ep season and I was a bit shocked to have 2 to go. But their treatment of Quinn is like benching Jordan until the 6th game of the playoffs.

I'd say 8 of 10 so far.

Quinn is the man. Brody fans will love him. Writers better not kill him off too.

I loved the twist at the end of tonight's episode (the passenger in Haqqani's vehicle).

I hope this narrative will eventually take us back to the question of who bombed CIA headquarters during the memorial service for the vice president.

We never found out who moved Brody's car. Was it an inside job?

That's a pretty plausible storyline. It would also be consistent with Dar Dahl lamenting over the lack of adequate funding to rebuild the facility. He might be angling for Lockhart's office and likely has support with higher ups.

Watched it this morning. Very good episode and I was surprised to see Dar in the vehicle.
The finale should be pretty solid. They have a lot to try to wrap up.

Solid opener that finally broke all ties to any little remnant of the Brody storyline (well, except the daughter...), and is very topical.

Yes. I like where this is headed and the timely subject matter is impeccable. Russia in Syria under the guise of fighting ISIS and wiping out Obama's rebels against Assad. Quinn is a bad ass, "Hit reset."

Yes it was a promising start for sure and like Godfella mentions, the subject matter is fresh and timely. Quinn is now officially in my top two TV characters with
Ray Donovan. He tells Saul to send him pictures to the PO Box and he will take them out. Sorta like a crazed garbage man. I'm never quite sure about this
series and how they will keep it fresh and interesting but this season seems to have a lot of potential.

Nice opener, Saul knows Carrie's boss is no good, he's in bed with Hezbollah. I like how current it is but The next time Carrie gets kidnapped by people who would love to kill her..they must kill her.

More Quinn, Dar Dahl, and Saul and less Carrie drama momma should be the formula. So far so good. Would have never pegged Carrie as Catholic though.

It was an ok episode. Certainly they made a relatively easy getaway so I couldn't figure out if that was planned or just
bad directing. I really dislike the American that leaked the CIA files. She plays a pretty good bitch.

I haven't been happy with this season so far. Carrie working for a German NGO is a pretty ridiculous concept; her boyfriend is nondescript; and the American journalist who exposed the surveillance program is thoroughly annoying.

I've fallen asleep twice while trying to make it through episode 2--still have about 20 minutes left to watch.

I miss Brody and his hot wife.

This show appears to have fallen into steep decline.

Its time for Carrie to die, the show needs it. The reporter who leaked the story is over acting and its not good. Quinn going to kill Carrie ? Of course not..but it would be great if he did.

I am at a bit of a crossroads in this season. I like the storyline and now that the Russians are going to get involved I could see this getting really
interesting. I don't really enjoy crazy off her meds Carrie. I'm hoping Quinn can reel her in a bit.
