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.

    • That's very special ♥️
    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
