Wow, thanks Barry for having the world's shortest coup. It's hard to decide which charachter is the dumbest. Basam for thinking he could pull off a coup with just a handfull of supporters. Molly who couldn't understand why she shouldn't let her daughter go shopping out of town the morning of a coup. Emma who thought it was a good idea to go shopping the morning they are leaving on an international flight when they probably couldn't take the crap they bought on the plane. Molly's sister was just a dumb inserted charachter that doesn't add anything to the show. And how dumb are they wearing sleeveless belly shirts in a Muslum country. I could go on about how dumb some of the charachters are on this show.
You can tell the writers on this show only focused on Basam, Jamal, and Leila and wrote the other charachters so poorly that you didn't care what happened to them.
Because the writing has been all over the place, it's hard to know where they are going if there is a second season. Maybe there could be another coup and Barry will be freed. Maybe Jamal and Tariq will be charged on war crimes for their past deeds. I think the chances of Jamal sending them out of the country exiled is pretty low. Maybe they execute Barry and Molly hooks up with Tucker.:)
This show has an interesting premise, I just wish the writing was a little tighter and the charachter development was more consistent. I admit it, with all the shows faults, I'm hooked and I'll watch a second season.
