There are things about the show which I don't really like, or find believable. One example is (select this text to see the possible spoiler): how easily and how completely Carrie appears to have fallen in love with Brody.
But overall it is quite compelling viewing. And it has won lots of awards (Claire Danes and Damian Lewis won the Emmy awards for Outstanding Lead Actress/Actor in a Drama Series).
The bad thing about catching up, of course, is that I can't watch an episode whenever I want - I have have wait for the next episode just like everyone else!
Here is a shot of the two lead protagonists from the most recent show:
