Well done show but writing doesn't make sense
24 December 2023
So Brody .... Was a suicide bomber, then killed his BF Walker, but then they ask him to get in to estos safe and he's Like NO WAY! And then saves Nasir from the sniper (why? As that would have been the end to all his problems) and then Tells the contact "I'm not your guy"??? Um....no, you are the guy who broke in to the safe and risked Everything to save nazir so dude, you confused!

I think the character of Brody is very undefined. He is perfectly fine strapping on the bomb vest talking to his daughter through his bedroom door and saying good bye to her an hour before and then He pushes the button twice, but then she calls him and he Hears her voice and changes His mind???

That's weak!

It's also silly writing as he's the lead of the show and so Obviously he ain't gonna blow himself up. No suspense in the writing, just character development but what character. He's crazy, no he's not, no he is, or is he just dumb? Is this a Patty Hearst syndrome?? 100% impossible to root for him.

Ok...then Carrie. Sigh. So she is NUTS!!! She endangers everyone's lives to run in and get Some papers??? That was SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping That they would shoot her and really Annoyed that they couldn't as again, lead of the show. So not suspenseful writing just possible character development but what character?? Stupid? Nuts? For sure nuts, but stupid too?

Why do writers sacrifice trust for adrenaline???????

So annoying!

Well done show but the writers are very confused!
