Homeland - I'm gripped

[Gromit]

5 episodes into the first series of what is a superb US Drama.

Anyone else watching it?

[fiftyplusfive]

Oh yes. I started watching it thinking it was a 3 parter,was a bit gutted to find it was 12 weeks but they seem to be keeping it going.There is a second series (according to Graham Norton show ) but not necessarily the same characters

[Polly1958]

I love it,but find it hard to understand some of the dialogue,but that doesn'take away from it being a good series

[Frank97]

Yes, thoroughly enjoying it! So the big question, is he or isn't he?

[jackthehat]

I change my mind several times an episode as to whether he was 'turned' or not.......

[mccfluffy]

Really enjoying it, is he or isn't he...

[Celticv11]

I agree, sky Atlantic /hbo have had several series worth watching, game of thrones back for series 2 on 2nd April, boardwalk empire also well made, am disappointed luck coming to an abrupt end just as it was getting interesting. Not watched last nights homeland yet, recorded so I can skip through the long commercial breaks

[Gromit]

I seem to be in a minority in think he hasn't been turned. Most of my friends think he has.

I have my suspicions of the CIA bloke. But yes, I change my mind often.

[mccfluffy]

Im more on the turned side since the t r s bit
Trying not to give it away for celtic

SPOILER if you did not see Episode 5.

The CIA bloke was also in the room and could have handed him the r b.

[fiftyplusfive]

Gromit,I'm with you.I don't think he's been turned.Or has he?

[jackthehat]

*SPOILER*




I am surprised that we haven't had a translation of what CIA man said in greeting, nor what was shouted between Brody and the prisoner during and after the scuffle.

I agree it's a superb programme. I like a good puzzle, and like the fact different clues are being thrown at you every week keeps you glued. I've changed my mind three times about whether he's been turned, and I've decided that must be an inside man (or woman).

I've even started to suspect Claire Danes' sister - for no other reason that I've run out of suspects.

[sp1814]

<ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT>

Something else that needs to be addressed is what did the bloke who killed himself shout to Brody as he was leaving the interrogation room?

And why didn't anyone pick up on the fact that he shouted to Brody in an Arabic language, rather than English (which he could speak).

And I think Saul's wife is dodgy too.

In fact - I think everyone's dodgy - apart from Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes - who has aged REALLY well).

[sp1814]

Oops - was writing my post when JTH was posting hers...

[mccfluffy]

True i did think it was weird about no translation
Her sister, nahhhh i think the kids are more likely

[funnygirl]

I'm gripped too!

Just wish it was shown in one lump!

After the thrird episode, I thought exactly the same thing. I suppose we've all gotten a little bit too used to DVD boxsets which allow us to watch shows in the timeframe WE want.

I also think that the bloke Mike is dodgy.

Actually - out of everyone...I suspect Mike the most.

[Prudie]

I also change my mind each week and agree wanted the translations last night. Love Claire Danes (always have since 'my so called life') and what a stunner his wife is. One assumes at least he's been converted to Islam?

That would be, without doubt, the best twist in telly history. Her two little nieces are actually grown up Al Queda dwarves who are planning to blow up the White House on a school trip.

That would be awesome.
