I'm surprised it's still going. Did you like the last couple of seasons?

- I predicted something was gonna happen to Arthur. Feel like he's been playing it too fast and loose for him to continue

This season is a big step up from last season. Tower of David is an interesting setting for a story, but even with that it still wasn't to good.
Second season was definitely up there as the most suspenseful. The whole bombing of the CIA was well done.

Still not got round to season 4 of Homeland yet, seems so pointless, season 3 felt like the end the way they concluded it in the last episode. I'll probably end up watching it and enjoying it, last season was a drag though.
Been addicted to Seinfeld recently.

- again nothing magical happened dude, she had psychosis from taking stimulants + not taking her meds + having bipolar disorder. It's totally feasible. Hallucinations from psychosis aren't like "oooh trippy colors man", they're like full blown delusions.

- Fuck off with that condescending tone!
Ofcourse it would never be like this where it would turn one guy into the guy they needed it to turn into - thats magic and bad writing. Like they picked out Brody pills and gave her.

Danish politics drama
its got Danes in, and politics
if you like politics based stuff, and perhaps skandinavians, more specifically Danes, maybe check it out.
think politics drama, but danish
steer clear if politics and/ or Danes do not sit well with you
I've watched the first few of these and can confirm it is indeed very political, quite Danish and also very good indeed.

I've seen all of it I think. Birgitte Sorensen is indeed enough reason to watch it, but
it's a very solid show in total.

- wasn't being condescending! i'm just saying i don't think it's magic. if she's having psychotic hallucinations then she's likely to "see" things that she desires or things that are on her mind, eg Brody.

yeah i get what you mean, but it ended up not really being important to the story anyway. did you see sunday's episode? i guess maybe it could have been used as a way to make that ISI agent seem more trustworthy, but that's about it.

Yeah exactly and that's what urks me about it. It's too mechanical and in general that show is pretty good at avoiding that.
The reason it's 'unnacceptable' 
is because they've spent so much energy on describing Carrie in a way where we know she couldn't be rocked that way, that they have to resort to an explanation where they assume the audience hasn't got a clue about medecine, but at the same time would have an affinity for really complex international politics, specific military equipment and other lol not very everyday things which is just a super dumb balance. It's basically like if they suddenly shut a jihadist with a laserbeam (although that would probably be more realistic )...
