    The season 7 devolves into melodramatics (an assassination!) where real drama used to simmer. [2/9 Feb 2018, p.90]

    Fans will be happy that this involves the resurfacing of Carrie’s spycraft, and it’s a pleasure in the season premiere to watch her pulling her gear out of hiding, or duck into a hotel room and put on a disguise--it’s like she’s getting back into her own skin. On the downside, it also means that she’s back to willfully endangering the people in her life, a trait that could be seen as a complexity of character but has always registered as an unpleasant distraction.

    It had lost direction and appeal. This season Yevgeny (Costa Ronin) and the Russian subplot saves the show.

    Apart from the very annoying Claire Danes and the French ouble agent, all the other acting is pretty good. Patakin is really great. The paceApart from the very annoying Claire Danes and the French ouble agent, all the other acting is pretty good. Patakin is really great. The pace of the series and the credibility of the plot is also superior to the last few seasons. Not bad. The show is underrated at this point Full Review »
