'Why kill a man when you can kill an idea'- Nazir (Homeland)


So I have to be honest its never appealed to me and not something that I actually wanted to watch, but with everyone going on and on about it…and season 2 starting on channel 4, I decided it was about time to watch Homeland. Firstly I should point out I am only up to episode 7 of season 1, and I have to say, for me it wasn’t living up to the hype, that is until episode 5. Now I am 100% hooked I care about the characters, and they intrigue me…I want to know what happens between Saul and his wife, what is really going on with Sergeant Brody, and if Carrie will manage to keep her job for the rest of the series!

I wouldn’t say so much that the show had a slow start, but more that it didn’t really appeal to me. There wasn’t much mystery in it, you knew from the start who the bad guy was, and for me it was purely a matter of time before the CIA caught him; it initially appeared to me as a prolonged episode of CSI, which to be honest has been over done. However mid way through season 1, and everything I was almost certain of has changed, it’s been one twist after another. The characters I was sure I knew aren’t what they initially seemed, and the past two episodes have ended on cliff a hanger, which of course has meant I have had to watch the next one. I am now addicted I cannot wait for the next episode, to see what’s going to happen and how the previous cliff hanger will be resolved. That being said I have been sat here writing for far too long…on to episode 8!
