episode 9, why would Jamal trust Barry unconditionally ?

Well,

Barry did just murder someone to protect Jamal so that kind of thing would breed a certain amount of trust and loyalty from him

. Not to mention that since Barry had run away before and gives every appearance of hating the whole dictatorship thing its not like he'd be a contender for any kind of power struggle whereas a general with an army behind him would be.

points taken, however, circumstances will change a person when his threshold is trigger. Thankful to Barry doesn't mean blind trust , General Tariq years of service will definitely create enemies ; also Jamal would trust his uncle subordinate so easily, Jamal should feel something is just not right whether it is Barry or Tariq

well if it was a choice between a genaral in the army who has protested the whole way and your brother who shows no interest is taking power, your gonna trust your brother first, just cause jamal shows trust towards barry doesnt mean its unconditional, im sure he has his doubts hes not a complete idiot, but one problem at a time,

but according to episode 9, Jamal seems to trust Barry unconditionally ; well, hopefully the series doesn't show Jamal is an idiot or else it will be too simple , but then someone must take the blame ; wonder who is it ?

well i can say i love hitler, just cause i said it doesnt means its what i believe, i believe that jamal wanted rid of tariq anyway, and this was just as good an excuse as any to do it, there is probably some unknown history between them also, just like there was with jamal and barrys father and tariq,

um so how does he get out of this

MagicMarker · 27-08-2014 8:34pm

Brilliant, can't wait until next season! If there is one that is...

I had a feeling early on that Hakim was going to cave but I thought once they gotten this far all was ok, until I saw him having the second glass of wine at the dinner. Sang like a fecking canary and got himself killed.

I wish they'd confirm season 2!!

Great finale though I was a bit uncertain that Jamal knew something was up on the boat. They've had Jamal make loaded-sounding comments before when he was obviously in the dark. That was certainly a turnaround. I actually really like the performance of the actor playing Jamal. He gives the character great pathos, almost like an anti-hero. You can largely see how unhappy and alone he is but then he switches into cruel bastard mode again! For me he's the star of the show at this stage! I hope they get renewed. They certainly deserve it. I wonder if the production problems they had due to the conflict in Gaza might have a bearing on the lack of an announcement or might ultimately kill the show? Mind you I'd imagine it's safe to shoot in Israel again at this point.

Personally I'd love to execute Molly's sister at this stage. I thought they were doing something interesting with her but now she just appears to be the fúck up fairy!

I doubt it, TheAmericans is set in the 80's so I wouldn't expect a crossover!:D

Shaved the head. Stunning opening episode though. Really gives me high hopes for the series.

season is moving along nicely, 5 episodes in now and barry has decided he needs to do something to save the people of abuddin, but not from his brother, in the grand scheme of things jamal is probably the better option, at least under him you have some kind of choice, your not just conscripted by a passing army just cause they rolled through your town,

which is exactly what IS is doing at the moment in Iraq

im surprised barrys family have gotten to abuddin so fast, i wonder how long before barry gets back to the capital, or till jamal tells his wife that he freed her husband, and left him in the desert,

the ratings are pretty bad for this, which is a real shame, and very surprising, cause its such a good show,

squonk · 17-07-2015 9:28am

Yeah the show deserves far better ratings if they're bad. This week's episode was the best one so far IMHO. The Army of the Caliphate (aka ISIS) are a fairly frightening bunch. It was quite a switch rooting for Jamal and his Uncle all of a sudden! They are the lesser of two evils however. On the home front, Molly and James will turn into an interesting situation once Barry makes it out of the wilderness! Great show overall and I hope the ratings don't kill it because it de3srves better.

expectationlost · 18-07-2015 8:47pm

hate his wife though, she should have gone beserk when they were going to execute him, she didn't, way too calm, and now she gets in with this guy we don't know what he's up to... why does she want this blood money.

MagicMarker · 24-07-2015 7:39pm

You'd think people would know what the brother of the President, who attempted a coup d'etat, would look like. I mean, they have twitter at least! Surely there's one picture floating about?

yeah but he looks a lot rougher, and hes supposed to be dead, id say hell help free maan, and end up in front of his brother to be congratulated,

i do think alright someone kinda should recognise him, but i still think its pretty believable that he hasnt been recognized yet,

Great show. Americans probably find it too upsetting to know what's actually happening over there...if Only in a fictional version.

They prefers nice simple west is good middle east is bad approach...This show muddies the water to much for then so ratings suffer
