    Default Homeland

    I've been MIA a tad as I'm completely addicted to this show! Honestly never even heard of it until a few weeks back, as I don't even have Showtime.

    This is a show about 'Homeland' security, and a POW who came home after being held for 8 years, only the CIA thinks he may have been turned and now part of a plan to hit America.

    Thus far it's 3 seasons long and 36 episodes. I am beyond hooked and now up to episode 20. Damian Lewis is the lead character as the military hero perhaps gone bad. Claire Danes plays the CIA agent who is desperate to bust him, as well as the head Al Qaeda leader "Abu Nazir". She also has bi-polar, a very serious case which she hides from the CIA of course, but plays a large role in the show. She is beyond awesome in this show. I'm surprised I don't know much about her. And Another great one - Mandy Patinkin, who plays a senior CIA analyst, a mentor to Claire Danes part.

    Anyway, 3 thumbs up, now I know what all the chatter was about!

    My two oldest brothers rave about it. I haven't seen it at all. My time is not enough to do the things I do each day and night. I need days with about 30 hours each. --Tyr

    What the F? Anyone else up to date on this show? For starters, I cam fully caught up, 36 episodes and season 3 just finished. My first WTF is because it appears that it doesn't start up again until about late September!!! Just like Game of Thrones, I'll have forgotten a lot by then.

    I can't say what else I want to discuss without *SPOILERS*

    Anyone else caught up to speed that I can yell at? LOL
