What a shame. I am very disappointed. What are these writers thinking? Are they really attempting to reach a female youth demographic?
Regarding the Sept. 29 season opener, our worst fears are realized. We now have 25% Tom Clancy and 75% Lifetime/OWN. Perhaps Oprah will make a guest appearance later in the season. She can take Saul's place as CIA Director after his heart attack. Surely she would be nominated for an Emmy.
Brody's mother-in-law is now on the show, I guess as the Greek chorus. We have to watch while that ugly narcissistic spoiled daughter takes boob pictures of herself to send to her new boyfriend like in American Beauty. Carrie is off her meds and doing an Anne Hathaway sketch on Saturday Night Live!
Regarding Oct 6, they should rename this "The Dana Brody Show." Half the hour was spent on this spoiled catatonic brat. The other half was spent on watching Carrie disintegrate. Seriously, this could be moved easily to Lifetime or OWN! Nothing original here.
I think that writer who died last March may have been the sole creative force here and those who are left are lacking ideas. He did win a posthumous Emmy while no living writer still on that show won.
What I think I am going to do in the future is stay with the DVR rather than watch this mess in real time. I will then skip over the Dana parts and reduce my stress level. I hate to totally give up on this. I expect once they get back to Brody things may improve...or maybe not! The preview for next Sunday does not look much better.
