OK so it's a TV show and not supposed to make sense all the time but:

Carrie's allowed to be properly unprofessional isn't she?! And what about that bloke going nuts and stabbing Brody the hand last night! The CIA look like a bunch of amateurs!

Don't get me started on that ridiculous scene when the "tailor" was killed in the woods a couple of weeks back.

Season 1 ticked along reasonably gently, building the tension. Season 2 is like a bull in a china shop.

No, because he didn't say that Brody got shot at the end. 🙄

He cracked a bit soon IMHO..

Having spent 8 years in the LandofSand, and then to crack in under 24hrs once back with the CIA?

Threat of being exposed for what he was to family & public seemed to do it. Does seem to be moving along now with the tailor and Walker story lines.

As Brodys been turned as a double agent, not sure how the writers will take this further than the end of this season, let alone 3 or 4, will be interesting to see what happens next.

Thats because he knows he is in the wrong and he wants to get out. He has wanted to get out since he found out Walker was still alive. He has his back against the wall and is going a bit loopy.

given than the CIA [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juveniles_held_at_the_Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp ]detained children at Guantanmo[/url] without charge for years then rather than return them to thier families (or even let their families know they were detained) just dropped them off near a village with a piece of paper saying 'sorry'...... its difficult to think of context for professionalism that you can credibly portray in a drama. 🙂

I'm quite enjoying it. It needed a twist to sustain the second series. The best thing about Brodie's character is he's on an tipping point between being a good guy and a bad guy, with emotional pulls in both directions - more so as he moves from being a double to a triple agent.

Watch the original Israeli version. Much much better.

I knew that there was an original Israeli version but I'd never heard if it was any good. Does it play well to a western audience? I wasn't sure if things would be a bit too nuanced and vague as a foreigner.
