Homeland **SPOILERS**

[aquarius moon]

Is this the best drama on tv at the moment?

I think so (even though I'm a Dallas fan too!)

Homeland Ch 4 sunday 9 pm. Brilliant, & as new series has only just started, plenty of time for new viewers to get addicted, like me.

[Salsaboy]

I didn't think the first series lived up to the hype. Still good though.

[Otta]

I have season 1 to watch, hear good things about it from friends.

[bonniebird]

I like it!

[nimby]

One of the Best. First Series more intriguing as we didnt really know if he was up to something or not.

[maxxi]

well it's better than the laughable Hunted but brilliant? I think it's already showing signs of "Lost" - "Prison Break" - itis.

Prisoners of War, the Israeli original was a gripper

In that case I imagine I'll go off it quickly!

[Jessie]

Hunted was so BAD. Do give Homeland a go - far, far superior and not quite Lost lostness yet.

[aquarius moon]

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.

[aquarius moon]

Thanks for explaining that Maxxi.

Sounds like the same thing is happening with 'The Walking Dead' on Ch5.

Another great series, but looks like it will be back year after year, due to the popularity of season 1

[Annette Curtain]

I like Prisoner Cell Block H myself.

I miss that one.

How is the parole* going?

*Bea sends hugs.

[aquarius moon]

I so love this programme!

[bonniebird]

I love The Walking Dead, I think this is the best thing on tv :)

[????]

..you can't have seen Breaking Bad then

[csaddleton]

or damages !

[bonniebird]

I liked Damages but that is gone, Breaking Bad i watched the first 2 seasons but went off it, husband still watches it though

[aquarius moon]

I love 'The Walking Dead' too.

Totally shocked by the ending of the last series, as wasn't expecting it.

[DJKillaQueen]

Homeland is top notch.... as was Damages. The Killing rivals both of those imo too. I really like the bipolar angle to Carrie in Homeland (and Clare Danes is just brilliant).

Hunted was just embarassing.

[edcam]

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.

[csaddleton]

Damages 4 is amazing and damages 5 is out in the US now - I cannot wait for this !!!

[Salsaboy]

There is only one series worth watching.

All hail to The Wire.

[El Pibe]

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.
