Even more than on the first watch, this show is a conundrum. It is equal parts really good/compelling TV and laughable/preposterous TV.
Not a single part of the Carrie/Brody love affair is grounded in anything remotely believable and it could have been a really good show without any of that. And while I’m not going to rewatch the other seasons, I remember it only gets worse with every subsequent man that enters her orbit being completely unable to resist Carrie as well.
Some of the tension that is built surrounding the actual plot is really great though.
