Strong opening to the series finale season. The preview for the entire season looks amazing.
Please don't let this season be consumed with her crazy. It will be great if she ends this having conquered her demons?
Watching this after the 2021 Afghanistan events is unsettling, at the very least.
You'd think by now everyone in the CIA would would know, Carrie might be crazy. she might ignore rules that she doesn't like, but she not compromised. She's freakishly loyal, to a bunch of people who don't deserve it. I don't buy even a super crazy Carrie giving up her people.
Strong start to the final season. We‘re finally back in the middle-east and those were the best seasons of the show. Brilliant acting by Claire Danes and very compelling storyline. Can‘t wait to watch the next episode.
I am always in awe of Carrie; she can be away from the 'front lines' of her sphere of work for years... and still she fits right in like she's never been away.
Me, I take a weeks holiday and it at least takes a while to hit the ground running LOL
A slightly slow burning episode with the fuse lit towards the end - looking forward now to the rest of the season :smile:

Some of the urgency from prior seasons is back, though to this day I'm not happy about how they handled Quinn's death and then revival and then death.
Is Carrie compromised? Are we going fully circle with Brody, except Carrie doesn't know she's compromised? Should be interesting to find out. Or, like @Anthoney65 said, is it beyond a doubt that she withstood 7 months in a gulag without burning a source? I don't know that anybody could withstand that, to be honest.
Maybe we'll be lucky and get a Brody flashback from her time away. Probably too much to hope for though.
