Season 1 is an awesome espionage treat. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis seem really natural in their roles. I really appreciate it because casting the wrong person can completely ruin an otherwise excellent film/series for me. I'm not a fan of Mandy Patinkin, but he was perfect as Saul. Both the premise and the writing is excellent so the story got me hooked right from the start. If you think I'm being too uncritical of the series, you're probably right.

The final episode surprised me with its feature film length, but I have to admit that every minute was worth it. From the opening "home" video, the tense atmosphere was maintained until the electrifying end, and the creators continued to delve into the psyche of both main characters. Unlike the previous episode, the way Sergeant Brody thinks had a greater impact on me this time, his Hamlet-like hesitation was brilliant.

In the eleventh episode, the last part of the plot, which had remained a mystery until now, was revealed. The creators did not engage in any action sequences, but focused on the psyche of the two main characters, and particularly in Carrie's case, it was a very interesting and intense excursion.

In the tenth episode, the creators revealed another one of their intentions and I had a good time again. I generally enjoy spy movies and series, but it is visible that the original designation of these stories should change: with a dagger and a cloak. Nowadays, it would be more fitting: with a drone and a notebook.

The ninth episode continued what the eighth one started. It brought more light into the plot, so what could be only speculated was clarified. I enjoy the fact that the creators didn't play the series unilaterally, they don't divide everything into black and white, I would rather say that the season has been dominated by gray so far.

The seventh episode slowed down in such a way that I began to suspect complete calmness and thought that the creators somehow forgot and focused only on the physical pleasure of the main characters. However, in the end, it turned out that I would have received a lot of new information if the script hadn't covered it up with a thick fog. So, to sum it up, it was an excellent biological-meteorological episode.

I was very satisfied with the fifth episode, I just wouldn't recommend watching it for paranoid people as their condition could significantly worsen. After all, even I noticed something suspicious about that man when I took a quick look in the mirror...

It is already quite clear that the second season does not even come close to the previous one. Intelligent humor has gradually disappeared and has been replaced by a strange substitute that Master Troška favors. Nevertheless, I have been patient with the decline so far, but if the creators come up with something similar in the next episode, I will not hesitate anymore.

The plot of the third episode did not focus as much on the main characters anymore, the creators developed a side story around the Saudi prince and made it clear that the series might not appeal to all American patriots, considering how the CIA treats the expendability of its sources.

It rarely happens that I am sure after the first episode of a series that I will like it, but this time the creators managed to convince me of that. I was pleased with the casting of the individual characters, the theme, and its execution in the form of the script, and I am looking forward to seeing how everything will develop in the next episodes.
