I'm new to this series and am now on Season four and just finished "From A to B and back again. When they hung Brody the show lost a lot for me. Some part of me kept thinking that the Iranian spy guy arranged for him to have a halter on and fake the hanging because he kept his word and killed the top spy guy...that he would show up again later. Now I know he's gone for good and the show just got less engaging. Wish the writers could find a way to bring Brody back or at least let his family know that he was a hero in the end. Carrie's constant self-destruction is getting really old. Disease or not she really never learns. All the actors give it their best and are compelling, and the sense of how real this world they live in is transferred to the viewer. Makes me realize that in today's world there is no place to hide.
