I agree that the excitement of series one was mainly due to the 'is he?/isn't he?' question, hanging over most of the series.

However, now I have to keep watching, just to find out what happens next.

Claire Danes is excellent.


Can't compare it to 'Lost' or 'Prison Break' as I didn't watch either, so not sure what you mean Maxxi.

I watched them in the very early stages before seeing what was happening - and what is happening in Homeland.


The tv co. realises it has a good idea and decides to spin it out as long as it can, over as many series as it can, without ultimately resolving anything until it dies on its arse - then resolutions all round and a get-out clause in the final plot-line to allow for resurrection and/spin-offs.


I may be wrong and that rumours of D Lewis siging a five-year contract to keep playing Brody and that season 3 is being developed atm are just rumours but it looks like it's settling in for the long run.

I'm going from really liking Homeland to finding it tiresome and back again. Although I do like Claire Danes, her "I have mental health issues so I'm going to roll my eyes a lot" schtick is rather wearing.


The Killing was fantastic, as was The Bridge. I LOVED Damages season 1 & 3 and we are still very into The Good Wife.

I'm pretty much with edcam, so dar a bit ambivalent about this new series.

Series 1 was excellent though.


I'm obviosuly alone to being rather partial to Hunted. It has inherited Spooks' penchant for galaxy sized plot holes, but also its sense of fun.

Plus I've been rather partial to Melissa "Angel" George since my waking up for Neighbours and Home and Away student days.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
