Have heard so many great things about it that i said 'fuck it' and downloaded the first season.
Uh, what the fuck's all the hype about? I noticed during the credits that the show is based on an Israeli series. I can see why.
The main story line of the show is ridiculously Zionist in nature and i don't know how there isn't an uproar from the Muslim community. So the protagonist *SPOILERS* gets turned against the US and is working for a terror organization. What's the biggest proof of it all: HE IS A MUSLIM. He has embraced Allah and thus, he's a terrorist.
Beside the obvious Zionist laden plot, the rest of the show is average at best. A neurotic, bi-polar imbecile who has a religious devotion to her job and thus the safety of the country. Has she ever read a book about US Imperialism? A mentor that is so focused on the job that is willing to sacrifice his personal life. A Black dude as AD of CIA.
Now i'm not religious and look at being a Muslim no different than being a Christian fundamentalist, but this show has a very obvious agenda: to paint every Muslim as a potential sleeping cell terrorist.
I was expecting a show in the vein of the Wire; something that redefines the genre, grabs it by the balls and smashes it against the wall. This is just another stupid ass show that follows all the bullet points of a stereotypical drama.
I'm going to finish off this season since i'm up to episode 9 but i am unimpressed so far.
I give it 4/10. Also the wives are the worse actresses i've ever seen. Jesus christ at that bad acting. How many rim jobs did they do to get that job?
