So I only properly discovered this last week, after signing up for the free months trial with netflix, and I couldn't believe what I'd been missing. That first season was easily one of the best pieces of TV I've seen. I was going to come in here and lavish praise, but thought I'd watch the second season first. And now I'm sad.
I was actually quite worried about a second season not living up to the first, but was very pleasantly surprised at first. In fact, up until Brody got taken away in a helicopter to meet with the most wanted terrorist in the world who had managed to sneak into the US by having a clean shave, I thought the second season was really really good. But ever since then its just been utter shite. Did they change the writers mid season or something? I'm now 3 episode into the 3rd season, and I'm close to giving up. Without giving it away, is it worth staying with, or does it just carry on being crap?
As an aside, why have so many characters completely disappeared? And I don't mean died, but actually just completely vanished, for no apparent reason. I'm presuming (hoping) they might come back, but so far...
Mike - Finally gets the chance to be with Brody's wife for real, only to disappear in season 3.
Galvez - Last seen being accused of assisting Nazier based on the fact that he's a Muslim (
), only to find out he was half bleeding to death. Hasn't been seen since. Maybe he never did get that wound patched up.
Virgil - Honestly haven't got a clue what happened to him or when we last saw him.
Max - Same as Virgil
