I'm agreeing with many who've written before me. Who's writing these subplots? Why does Carrie have to sh*g every terrorist who she interviews? Has she forgotten that she was supposedly "in love" with Brody, and then had his child who she cannot go near?
This has been an addictive drama, and the acting by all is still faultless - but the writers really ought to hang their heads in shame for making Carrie so despicable and selfish. Not every spy needs to get into someone's pants to get them to "turn". Watching the sex scenes are knotting my stomach, they're so contrived and revolting.
I think I'd rather see the CIA torturing - which I'm damned sure is the more likely scenario! - and I dislike that in my fellow humans, too.
If this doesn't stop, I'm skipping to S6 on Netflix.
