My problem with the show is that they couldn't let the Brody story go away. You would think they could come up with new ideas but instead they are clinging to Brody and his family for no reason that I know of except if they have Damian Lewis tied up in a huge contract like an overpaid baseball player you can't get rid of. Lewis is a good actor but he should have been a one season off guest star.

Second problem is the repeat of the storylines with Carrie. You have to sit through Carrie's breakdowns over and over again. While that might be like real life, using it as fodder for why the CIA messed up is just insane at this point. Carrie is sleeping with a terrorist and the CIA is ok with it and Carrie is off the rails crazy? If that is the CIA's MO, then the terrorists did America a solid by blowing it up (except they missed all the lunatics unfortunately).

So the writers are focused in on this interpersonal lunacy rather than espionage which was made the first season so compelling. Why? You just know that Carrie will recover and figure out clues that no one else can. Because she's just special.
