oht Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It was good and looking forward to the rest. Couple of "oh c'mon" moments but that's par for the course with any show, bar the exceptional Wire. I'd forgotten how lovely Claire Danes is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Started watching it last night, steamed thru the first 3 episodes. As OHT said, there's a couple of parts where you have to kinda suspend your common sense but overall it's a good watch so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have already watched all of this (downloaded them as they aired in the US) and would recommend sticking with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityfan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 i do hope its not like 24 because it was utterly ridiculous(how many times can a mans wife be kidnapped and raped over the course of one day)? 24's over the top nature was the best thing about it, if it had been realistic it would have been boring as hell. As for Homeland, I enjoyed the pilot, although I'm not sure why it's necessary for Claire Dane's character to be bipolar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityfan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Very That's a relief then as I was worried it was just a gimmick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 The two lead charachters and their development throughout the series is the best thing. They steal the show, Danes in particular I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 24's over the top nature was the best thing about it, if it had been realistic it would have been boring as hell. As for Homeland, I enjoyed the pilot, although I'm not sure why it's necessary for Claire Dane's character to be bipolar. It only really comes out in Episode 11, so don't hold your breath. As for the series as a whole, I think it's been superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just watched the first 3 episodes of this last night. Instantly hooked. Lewis is very impressive in this as is Danes. Cracking plot so far too. Looking forward to this Sunday's episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Still watching, still enjoying it. I read a review of it describing it as a "Liberal media apology for 24" - I can;t help but feel that may turn out to be quite apt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I've been watching, and have managed to stay at the same pace as the Channel 4 one. I've downloaded a few episodes, but never really got round to watching them - will probably keep watching each week on 4 rather than skip ahead. It is a slow burner, but that doesn't make it bad - Jericho was really slow at times, but sucked you in (well, not enough to keep it from getting cancelled, but I enjoyed it). Damian Lewis and Claire Danes have been fantastic so far And the 24 link is one that's fairly clear - you can see the similarities. It's a good thing too - when 24 was good, it was oh so very good. Hopefully they can channel some of that, instead of the parts where nothing happened for 12 weeks.

Boghead ranter Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 As I understand it it's a lot of the same people that make it that made 24, so similarities aren't that surprising. Plus you get bare breastage and swearing, which you never got on 24..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyTON Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Been anounced that it will return for 2nd season in September (assuming all the characters don't die in the remaining episodes on UK TV) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
