right on, thanks. I did get through season 2, which was pretty decent.
I had read elsewhere that season 4 is really good, maybe I'll stick with it through that.

I don't remember at which point it got goofy...but it's not long after or maybe even during s2.

I streamed through season 4. The wife did me a favor and started watching watching season 5 without me and is like half way through, I won't watch this solo so I am officially tapped out.
I liked season 1 (very good), season 2 was super boring until the last 3-4 shows, then it got good. 3 was just ok, 4 was actually pretty good. Carrie is annoying and hard to root for (saul is too alot of times).

I'll preface by saying that I liked this entire series and watched every episode as released. Every season was at least good. None were great.
I'm in the large minority here but I preferred the latter half of the series to the first half. Brody,/Brody's wife/Carrie, Brody's surly teenage daughter---a little too soapy for my taste.
The faults of the later seasons have been well documented here (Franny, Daines' and Patinkin's overacting, crazy story lines, etc.) but those issues were present from the beginning and the marked decrease of the soap opera story lines was a welcome improvement for me. I enjoyed the spy #### and the last few seasons focused way more on that.
I'm not going to miss it like I miss the great series' but think it was not a waste of my time having watched it.

I liked the entire series, some seasons more than others. That said, Carrie got beyond my nerves towards the end. I won't miss all the twitching.
Most people on the internet seemed happy with the finale. I spent most of it wanting her to die. I forgot how to insert a spoiler tag, so I'll just avoid the ending for now.

I really couldn’t stand Carrie towards the end either.
really wished they would have killed off her characters so there wouldn’t be any chance I would ever see Carrie Mathison again

She was excellent right from the start.Daywalker said:
Her and Patimkin just ran out creative gas. It happens in most long-running shows.

She was very convincing. The problem was more one of motivations. She rarely, if ever, was willing to do the right thing...unless that right thing also was what she wanted to do anyway.
There's a level of respect one can give to a character that goes with their own beliefs - against a system or leader - but time after time after time? Without any real understanding or care for the downstream effects on those on your own side, striving to accomplish the same goals. You can only screw over those on your side so many times, even if it's for the right reasons, before you should rightfully be sent packing, ignored, or hated.

I think what they were trying to go for here is what most people in her field are. Some want to do the right thing but didn't unless it helped them. Also I think them including she had Bi-Polar helped play a part in her aspect of not wanting to do the right thing unless she felt like it
