I loved the first season of this modern take on the
Manchurian Candidate and couldn’t wait to see if Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison
would be able to prove to the world that she was right. Damian Lewis returns as Brody and there are
some really nail-biting set ups throughout this season. But there is a point in the show where I had
to figure the writers changed things up a bit too early for my taste. I suspect they felt they had to because they
didn’t want to keep repeating the same tactics.
I think it was a mistake and can’t see how they’re going to make the
next season very believable (although the last scene was really cool). The two shining stars of this show through
are still Danes and Mandy Patinkin. It’s
their relationship that keeps me tuned in.
Grade: B+
