This series is one of the best shows I've ever seen. It shows the United States by his vulnerable side when the danger comes from within our own ranks. Claire Daines plays Carrie Mathiesson, a CIA officer messages that told by an informant from Iraq that a freed US prisoners of war may be gone over to the terrorists. The US Navy, Nick Brody, played by Damien Lewis, was for 8 years al-Qaeda prisoner freed by US troops and received in the United States as a hero. Nobody, except the bi-polar disturbed Carrie suspects that Brody is a convert to Islam Shepherd or suicide bomber is. In the period of captivity was harmed in the family of Nick up some. His wife Jessica started an affair with Brody's best friend Michael Faber (good scene as Nick learned at a barbecue thereof), his son Chris tries the father he never knew, to get to know better; his daughter Dana behaves initially like a "normal" teenager (drink beer, celebrating with friends), she sees her father to return a bit skeptical. Carrie tried initially to monitor without official consent of their superiors, Brody. It builds cameras and microphones in Brody's house (NSA says hello). Your mentor Saul Berenson helps her, as far as he can. But then Carrie leaves on a relationship with Brody, both trying to keep it secret. It begins a cat-and-mouse game between the two, as emerged slowly that Brody works for the top terrorist Nazir.
A very good series that shows America's vulnerability by converted citizens.
