Just caught up through the most recent 5 episodes this morning.
The parts where it's ISI + Taliban vs. CIA are very entertaining, and the events surrounding Saul were pulled off very well. Getting the med student out of the way did wonders. Because of that, I'm back to looking forward to the end of the season.
But every time it veers into Carrie-centric spans, I just get annoyed. Maybe I'm just too overcome by my dislike for her character, but I don't see what it adds to have Carrie going off on benders. Replace that with more debates between Saul and Haqqani, who both see themselves as justified and righting wrongs, or the CIA, who see terrorism in black and white, and ISI, who have internal pressures that create gray areas, and you'd have a really smart, tense show.
