I think the show looks good and has great potential but I can't get over the lead, Damian Lewis. I completely disagree with the OP.

Lewis looks like a grown up kid. I don't mean that obvious, that all adults were children once. What I mean is he literally looks like a 16 year old ginger that's in a bigger body. He is completely not convincing as some mastermind hidden Al Qaeda operative who's going to pull off some major attack.

I agree completely with this. I don't see him in this part.
 
The Brody character is definitely intriguing. I think Damian Lewis does a pretty good job though and I think the role was cast well.

The Brody sex scenes are oh-so-awkward.
 
Is the show really that good?

I know that Anandtech has some harsh critics but if you guys are saying this is good then I am Sold!
 
Anyone caught the android phone in episode 7?

Looks like a motorola phone.

Anyone know what phone that was?

Yeah. There's still the issue of
Brody claiming to kill Walker. I suppose it would make sense that Al-Qaeda would trick Brody into thinking Walker was dead if he had been turned (and subsequently letting Brody escape to disseminate that information), but there are a ton of possibilities.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

In my opinion, it's the best show on TV right now. When other shows like Game of Thrones and Mad Men come back, it will be in their league but maybe towards the bottom of the "very best shows"
 
Well, I was just about to bail on this series when the last episode pulled me back in. I hope the latest developments create a better storyline. Too many characters becoming cartoonish (daughter, boss, etc.) and some of the dialog is laughable.

I was pretty pissed after episode 6 and ready to call it quits too. I mean really,
the CIA agent is fucking the suspected terrorist??? She acts like such a dumb bitch, and doesn't even come close to portraying what an actual veteran CIA agent might act like. No professionalism whatsoever. And I don't really care for Brody either. His character just annoys me for some reason. Or maybe it's the actor.

But anyhow, I actually enjoyed this last episode, and it looks like things could get exciting. Mandy Patinkin is pure awesome, and the main reason I wanted to watch the show in the first place. And Morena Baccarin (Brody's wife) is one hot mamma. I remember having a huge crush on her when she played on Stargate SG-1.
 
I'm really loving this show. The sex scenes definitely have to go though, so uncomfortable.

He said that he fell in love with the head AQ guy, so I'm sure that will develop into something pretty soon. Having him beat his buddy nearly to death was a way to break both him (thinking he killed him) and his buddy by saying, "see, even your partner wants to kill you."

I like where this is going. :thumbsup:

Claire Danes does more for me, but they're both nice to look at.

And she is, y'know, crazy, so I guess that's the explanation for some of her antics. I'm sure that'll play a big role at some point.
 
Am I the only one noticing the major Sal holes in each episode?
The way hes always reacted to spying on Brody. The idea to move to India. The razor incident. The failed polygraph the first time. The desire to go get the woman terrorist himself. Sure there are reasons they all are legit and check out but they are still possibile clues that he is involved. He could have shown her a picture of whats his face to draw to get the heat off of Brody.

I definitely noticed this, but I can't decide if there's substance to it or the writers are just trying to keep us off balance.
