I'm surprised they've changed the focus to ISIL & the Syrian events. I'm sure I read the producer said they wouldn't be going down that route, or they mentioned the show wouldn't give them the satisfaction of featuring their brutality & propaganda. It seems they've fast forward 2 years on from when they covered Iran/Afghanistan in previous seasons and it has opened up a whole lot more plots for the show to explore. This seasons been good so far, Saul wants to oversee a regime change, someones trying to kill Carrie & Quinn, bit confused with the hacking plot though.
