Homeland (not the grocery store)

I'm through the first season.

What an incredible show.

 

Easily one of the few shows I felt I had to watch the next episode immediately.

 

Yeah, I felt kind of lucky that I actually was able to watch all 12 episodes in the last two weeks or so...

 

One of my favorite faces ever was Saul finally seeing Carrie off the rails, and the OMG reaction.

 

Patinkin is so intense. He's such a great actor.

My question/worry is how does Danes get her job back without ruining the show? I thought maybe they'd end the season with Brody getting caught and the CIA realizing that Carrie was the only one who was right about him and that would get her job back.

Maybe she can do the same thing with the Isa information, but I will be curious to see how they can pull it off without it seeming forced.

I really hope I don't have to wait until October for Season 2.

 

I couldn't stand Danes for the first 7-8 episodes. Her facial expressions drove me nuts but the last 3-4 episodes she was amazing.

 

Outside of David and Saul, who knows Carrie is nuts in the CIA?

 

I thought she and Patinkin were about as perfect as you could get.

I was glad they got away from Baccarin's character after the first 7-8 episodes. I was getting a bit sick of her.


I just read the WSJ interview with the producers. They basically said it will be back in September or October and that the relationship between Brody and Carrie isn't done.

 

Just started watching this because of the free weekend of Showtime...looking forward to reading through this once I get the rest of the episodes watched (just got done with ep 2)

 

Just started watching this tonight. Got throught the first two episodes tonight. I'm digging it so far.

 

I just ripped through it in a couple of weeks -- my wife joined me about halfway through the season and it's her new favorite show, so I'm looking forward to going back and re-watching the first half with her.

I don't know if I read this as an official review or just someone on a message board that said the show got too jumbled toward the end of Season 1. I didn't feel that way at all. I loved the chaos all around.

 

Kimmel had a great line about the show last night on the Emmys...

"Finding out President Obama is a fan of Homeland is like finding out Charlie Sheen is a fan of Breaking Bad."
