    Four episodes into the first series and still f*ck all has happened. I get that it's a thriller and all but there's only so much tense build up without anything happening that I can take. Was very excited fr the show after the opening episode but just feel like it hasn't moved on from there. Anyone that can convince me whether I should stick with it or not? Getting the feeling that it's been so popular in the States just because it appeals to the whole 'Don't screw with my Murrican freedom you terrorist pigs' kinda attitude... :rolleyes:

    I thought the first season was a small bit above average. It does pick up towards the end though. I also started season two tonight incidentally.

    Yeah it's worth sticking with. End of season 2 is epic.

    Yes, it's massively overrated. But worth watching if only for Saul 'the Bear' Berenson.

    Great show, well worth watching. Can be a little slow in places but for the most part I really like it. Probably not enough explosions and gun fire for a lot of people.

    Cheers lads. Think I'm gonna stick with it. Don't think it's gonna help a whole lot with my opinion of Clare Danes though :p

    I started watching it yesterday and ended up getting to episode 10 of season 1, when I stopped watching tonight. The joys of being sick!

    It's slow paced but it certainly is picking up at the moment. It's the first series since 24 that I've been able to stick with.

    Having finished season 2 all I can say is that this show is a load of nonsense.

    Carrie is one of the most annoying characters in all of television and I found myself rooting for the bad guys because of her.
