I loved this show in the early years, forgot how many seasons I watched before I had to end Showtime. I now have Showtime free for six months so I re-started today, plan on one episode a day...
Like 10 minutes in I hit a very big ugh.
I had totally forgotten about Dana Brody and how (it seems) all fans of the show, including me, eventually hated the character. ::: sigh :::
Lord give me the strength...
I didn't mind her at first. She did begin to fester though.
It is a shame what happened to the show. I love the first 4 seasons. Even S5 was fairly good. Sad when a show completely jumps off the rails like this.
One day I will revisit the sweet first 4.
Oh, I know and now recall Dana was OK at first, but it’s just that sudden shock and instant recall what a drag she later became, well, it hit me already.
shareI don't know how far along you are, so I'm going to put spoiler tags in my next sentence.
[spoiler]Boy, you're gonna looove when they bring her back at the tail-end of the third season. Just when you think the Brody family drama was gone for good, Dana shows up just one more time, LOL![/spoiler]
Other than that, I do miss the early years myself. It was interesting when the plot actually revolved around Brody being a suspected terrorist. It's why I started watching to begin with.
I'm glad they're finally concluding it after the eighth season.
I know I watched at least 3 seasons. I’ll know soon enough. Not going to binge at all...just one episode each day. Like when I was watching One Life To Li....er, afternoon television daily shows.
shareI am in the middle of Season 4 now (Pakistan/Haqqani storyline) and now realize I stopped watching in the middle of season 5 with Miranda Otto.
This time around I did not despise Dana at all, rather better understood what she was going through. Seemed reasonable considering all.
Right now pissed at Carrie for bedding Haqqani’s nephew. (Episode just ended)
You sort of have sympathy for her up until this time but what she does to her daughter and what she did to the nephew kind of take the blinders off of what kind of person she is.
It's all for the good, right?
Doing it for the red, white, and blue. *sigh*
The show improved when the Brody clan left.
shareI was thinking you had some valid argument, but your just a wimp.
She was such a small part of the show, pointless post.
I hated Dana Brody from the start such an annoying person.
Season 2 was hard to watch because of her ended up skipping large % off it.
Carrie as well way over the top I know the likes of CIA will hire people with disorders like hers but they would never allow her in the field or put up with her attitude.
I found the show to just be lazy written the source material is good this was typical American over the top drama almost reminded me of soap or something CW produces.
