I can typically keep up with these CIA type shows, but I’m late in season 2 and I don’t know WTF is going on…

Watch From. They haven't given us one clue on wtf is going on in 2.5 seasons.

Season 1 was great, I lost interest in season 2 after the first couple episodes.

It is like season 2 was written by a committee.

I don't know that it's too complex, but it hasn't really worked for me thus far and I'm the target audience for sure.

S1 was very good, S2 is all over the place with disjointed dialogue/plot. Unless the season end is great I won't watch a S3 if there is one.

I agree with this if you just watched the first two. The first 4 episodes were pretty lame, but the second half of the season is a lot more enjoyable. Outlandish, but more enjoyable. It also sets up nicely for a third season…except for one character that could ruin everything lol. I don’t want to list a spoiler here though.

You need to watch it from the beginning.

It's a really well-done show

I thought season 1 was pretty interesting but once they got to Afghanistan I lost interest. I think it’s just boring

I’m ready for S3. For one thing hardly anyone has one name. Emily, Angela, and Parwana, for example……….one person but 3 personas.
Lots of killing, characters with 9 lives, etc., what else can happen?

it is definitely convoluted to the point that it stretches beyond reasonable belief at times, but i decided in season 1 that I would keep watching so long as they minimize the melodrama which got bad at times

seems to have mostly done that in S2. if only mrs dixon would conveniently disappear

The Old Man

So I haven't started Season 2 yet.

What's the final verdict from the board here — should I hate-watch the first few hours of it or just skip to one of the many other shows building up on my list?
