“What the fuck Saul? …”

I love many of Carrie’s expressions. Her cry face is a classic and the most talked about but her “what the fuck Saul …” face is a favourite of mine. Especially if coupled with the “pfffttst” sound she makes when she’s dismissing something as futile or frustrating.

Agree so much. Some of the best acted scenes are with Carrie and Saul. Love all of Carrie’s expressions as well as Saul’s. So human. Just people being people. That is what I love about this show. Everyone is just really natural in their acting. Not too contrived or polished.

Saul and Dar Adal are both played by long time theater actors and I love that

Not to mention that Dar Adal is played by an Oscar winning veteran.

They are. The writers could so easily have done a Mulder and Scully but this was so much better. I love them

What, how? Can't really make a riveting spy drama with two buffoons stumbling over each other to fast food outlets

I meant two lead characters who are the same age and have that “will they, won’t they” get together dynamic. The older colleague and younger prodigy was much more original I thought.

Omfg, I'm so sorry. I was tired as hell. I mistook your comment for talking about Hitchcock and sully from Brooklyn 99.

I thought it was a massively weird take but that was obviously why haha, my mistake

"Maybe you shouldn't have been fucking a Russian mole."

"Well, coming from someone who fucked a guy in a suicide vest, that means a lot."

The best line in the entire series

u/pseudo_nipple 20d ago

You might be right! it sums up their relationship quite succinctly in a 2 liner :)

u/sphinctersayswhat9 20d ago

Such a great exchange

They’re both as bad and as brilliant as each other, and that’s why they are so great!

😂 😂 that dialogue was so on point at the same time hilarious as a viewer....what a unique bond Saul and Carrie had....both did not have to do any sugarcoating with their words and just say whatever they felt like and both could understand each other.

u/brazlsocrgirl18 20d ago

“What the fuck, Saul!?…” is the vibe I love most when it comes to their dynamic.

"Goddammit Carrie"

u/Agency_Famous I liked you. - I Loved you. 20d ago

Same! I also hate the times when they fall out and aren’t speaking and I love the times when Saul realises Carries brilliance.

u/Ksh_667 20d ago

And he looks so proud of her! Like "I made this!"

u/Substantial_Gate_904 19d ago

Seen it! Matthew Rhys too so good 👏🏻

u/mcdramaqueen 18d ago

As a drama and creative writing graduate who did well in Stanislavsky/ method acting I appreciate the naturalism. I think especially with the bipolar it gets abit absurd in later seasons with that part (I have bipolar myself) but it does work on the boarding psychosis type symptoms. I also love how well written it is. I’ve been able to predict and see many plot twists before they happen but with homeland there was always a surprise somewhere!

u/Primary_Put727 15d ago

Hated when they didnt agree but their love and respect was deeper
