I have, and enjoyed them. This one has been a slog, to the point I watch about a half episode per sitting. I'm halfway thru ep 3 right now. The plot is kinda/sorta interesting, but there are still issues:
The Malaysian guy's story makes no sense. He and his wife seem to be desperate to get their young daughter out of the country for no clear reason. She seems healthy, normal, and intelligent.
Greer's family plotline is boring. This isn't a "Cat's in the Cradle" situation. His son is old enough to understand that his dad being Deputy Director of the CIA means he can't drop everything to attend a ball game. I hate the trope that teens can't process the idea they aren't the center of the universe.
I did a hard eyeroll at the death of Miller, the former Director. The son of a gun died in front of his encrypted laptop and with his dying breath reached for the bible prominently positioned on his desk. No one thought that was a clue?
