Review of The Choice

Homeland: The Choice (2012)
Season 2, Episode 12
6/10
Wasted opportunity to rival Breaking Bad
1 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
First season was great especially the pilot and last two episodes so i watched the 2nd season with bated breathe because it was still the same kind of edge of the seat stuff until the last two episodes.

A series has plenty of time to tie up loose ends unlike movies. Great series don't pull things out of thin air. It seems like writers are having a hard time coming up with great stuff. This episode left me wondering, confused and disappointed. Disappointed by the chemistry between Carrie who seems to have fallen head over heels in love with a terrorist despite her job hanging by a thread.

Also Carrie seems to have become too 'clever". She figures almost every solution to a problem and the men around her are clueless.

Peter Queen is tasked with killing Brody after failing to get a clean shot all weekend he gets one of Brody facing east and praying to Allah. That should have been enough reason for Peter to pull the trigger but he backs down and next time we see him in David Estees' bedroom telling him that Carrie has been through a lot and deserves a break. Wow

I am going to watch season 3 but i am not in a hurry.
