US
Marine Sergeant Nicolas Brody returns home from eight years of captivity by al-Qaeda in
Iraq. He is hailed as
a hero but he’s having a difficult time returning to family and Marine
life. Carrie Mathison is a CIA
agent and she was in Iraq before Brody returned home. A jailed informant told her that an
American service man had been turned.
She is sure this must be Brody.
She has surveillance cameras set up in his home and her partner Saul
obtains an order allowing this action for one month. There is a problem from the beginning, they don’t have a
camera in the garage and Brody spends time there mornings and
evenings. Carrie wants to continue
the surveillance but Saul warns her they have not obtained any valuable
information and the order has expired.
Brody denies he ever had contact with al-Qaeda member Abu Nazir but he
is seen with this man in flashbacks.
This
is very tense and there are times you don’t know where it’s going. It’s hard to stop with one episode and
that can stretch to watching three instead. There are 11 episodes in this DVD plus the initial pilot episode. There are two more seasons, season
three has not been released on DVD yet and season four of 2014 will be showing
soon on Showtime. 4* (I really
liked this series)
