Just watched all 12 episodes over the last four days. Outstanding series. I wanted more closure out of the finale, but upon reflection, I really appreciate how it played out. It was just so very well done and well acted.
On his motivation (re: love for Issa vs. his own kids), Brody was doing it for his kids. He felt that was extreme injustice in the world, and the leader of that injustice was soon to be running the country his family lives in. In his own jaded sense of purpose, he thought that he was doing right by his family. |

Starts back up tonight. Glad to see the Emmy's for the show. Beat out Mad Men. I re-watched the Brody in the bunker with the suicide vest scene. The emotions as he goes through was a fantastic display of quality acting

When the wife dropped the Holy Qur'an tonight, I thought Damian Lewis was a devout Muslim for real. He's such a good ****ing actor.

That was a great first episode. Brody going through the ritual of burying the Qur'an, along with his daughter. I wonder how they'll take that twist going forward. And Carrie looked downright ecstatic after she knee'd that dude in the balls, lol.

It was pitch perfect execution of a beat to establish that Carrie/Kate can't resist the thrill of the hunt.

I wash there was enough time, viewers, and $$ for him to be one this and still on 'Life.'

Its a shame more people don't watch this show. It already has the feel of some of the best.
I get the sane feeling when I watch this as I do when I watch Mad Men. |

I get the same feeling when I watch this as I did watching Rome and some parts of Deadwood. Feels like we are always standing on the edge of a precipice and something mindblowingly dramatic is about to happen. There's this aura of intensity about this show that even when nothing is happening on screen, you're still feeling a little jittery. It's all attributed to great writing, directing and acting of course.

It's not some ground breaking show. It's just so well done that you cant stop watching.

GODDAMN! What a strong episode this week! This show is seriously on par with the all time greats at this point (IMO, of course).

I got a few months of free showtime, finally started watching it yesterday on demand. Liked the pilot a lot.
