I really enjoyed s 1 n 2, fantastic TV, the story should end there, that is it, no more, no mas, basta!

Then it became a joke of itself, a soap opera, to say the least, to the point I coud not stand any of the characters anymore.

But I heard s06 was really good.

Was it really?

Did they quit the BS "oh she forgot her pills", "oh my, she is sooooooo goooooood", "oh, she loves her work more than her own life", "oh, she is sooooooo smart and more intelligent because she has a vagina", "you see, how dumb they are and how smart we are" and so forth???

Tks.

I didn't care for S5 that much either, I think there was a just a gap of how Carrie could not find Quinn in two years to be a just a lame BS in writing. Also that whole charade with Alison, who was the worst actor in Homeland, just went on and on too long, at the end she got killed in a trunk of a car that was even more pathetic. You are right the show has become a soap opera, I have lost in Carrie because its always about her illness and meds and how emotionally screwed up she is, what she did in S4, blowing up that wedding party, then seducing that boy and how he got killed showed how careless she is and that is why I have very little sympathy for her or Saul, I can't buy into Carrie being the victim, these are just very immoral warped people who dont even trust each other as their back is turned.

S6: yes it was more interesting in parts, it had a great premise with the first episode, several stories running and that was very well written. The whole conflict between Dara Dol and new President was where it got more interesting.

I am sorry I just didn't care for the finale last night and that was kind lame and rush job for Homeland.

I quit after season 1. Good show, but I really couldn't deal with any more Carrie drama. Claire Danes is beautiful and a very talented actress, but the constant hysterics got old for me fast.
