Homeland

[Aztecs27]

Anyone else watching this on C4?

Most American Drama shows can be a bit bland (I know, I watch most of them! ), but two episodes in and this is flipping awesome!

I highly recommend you getting onto 4OD if you've not watched it. Compelling stuff.

Plus, Claire Danes is lovely! :thup:

I've been looking forward to this for ages and i have to say i am not disappointed, Claire Danes and Damien Lewis are brilliant.

Been on council telly over here for a few weeks now and it is pretty good viewing.

A mate of mine has seen the whole series and this is what he said:

"It has a twist that makes you go 'Fork!'. Then another that makes you go 'Fooooorkk!!' then another that makes you go 'omfgzorzfooorkk!' then another that's all like 'arrghgh my head asplode!' "

Expletives "tidied" a little, but you get the idea!

Needless to say, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Whatever Damien Lewis touches turns to gold.

really good but was hoping it would be a 3 or 4 parter. Can't help but feel the story will drag/be less effective over 12 hour long episodes.

Plus, a second series has been commisioned! Another 12 are set to be made... Either he's a terrorist or aint, how's there another series in this!?

I get the feeling it's gonna turn into another '24'

It's by the same makers of 24! Luckily, I loved 24!

12 episodes is a good amount for a series like this. Lets the story develop with feeling rushed.

If it was 24, I'd agree. I guess we won't know how the second series will go until the end of the 1st series. I can see it leaving me wanting more though!

Not 8 series more like 24 though!

"Set up a perimter" - Did anyone not escape one of the perimeters set up!!!

Did enjoy them all though, rumour had it they were making one in the UK, don't know if it happened though.

I'm planning on wathcing this tonight. HID and I loved 24 and are looking for a new series to watch, and this seems to fit the bill. Not expecting it to be as pacy as 24, but fingers crossed it's as good as it sounds!

looks good, i liked the girls interview for the sheik. a question that should always be asked incase of problems later

 

[In_The_Rough]

Seen both episodes so far and I am really enjoying it. I think it is going to become pretty clear that Lewis is not a terrorist though and is a plant to flush the real terror members out.

Last American series I watched was NYPD Blue. Think the last 20 years may have passed me by. Currently watching Rumpole of the Bailey on dvd.

you do know Inspector Morse died?

 

[need_my_wedge]

Have seen the first episode and think it's pretty good thus far. And yes, aside from being a fine actress, Claire Danes is gorgeous.

 

[birdieman]

I watched 2 episodes on 4OD yesterday, agree that it's been brilliant thus far, had me hooked straight away.

I am very concerned however that it's going to be 12 episodes and then a new series is being shot. I want a resolution to the story before 2014 please.

 

[BTatHome]

When I get hooked on shows like I end up wanting to watch the whole thing now, rather than once a week

My mates who have seen it, you don't need to worry about this. There are more twists and turns that a lap round Monaco, by all accounts.

I'm sorely tempted to watch the rest of the series tonight. Not sure I can wait 10 weeks to find out what happens!

This is why the internets is so awesome!

Remorseful day. Just about the best series ever. Lewis is not bad, but John Thaw was just a great actor. Sadly missed.

Agree about Damien Lewis, Band of Brothers is probably the best piece of tv i've ever watched.

Amen to that! I try and watch it at least once a year and cry like a baby every time. Best TV series of all time.
