<br> Season 2 of the cat-and-mouse thriller picks up several months after former CIA analyst Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes, left) has spent time in a psych ward getting electroshock after her bipolar breakdown. The mouse, former U.S. Marine Sgt. turned terrorist spy Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis, right), is now a congressman. It's going to be difficult to top the flawless first season, but I've seen the premiere and so far, so great.
