This was really great political thriller, centered around bipolar CIA agent Carrie Mathison and her mentor Saul Berenson (who played Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride–a fact I cannot get over). It was mostly about the conflicts in the Middle East, but near the end of the series, they threw some Russians in for good measure. Practically every episode was a cliffhanger and I couldn’t get enough of the show. I’m going to miss it.
My rating: 4.5/5
