Couldn't spot a thread on this,

has anybody been watching?

Bit of a slow starter but its on ep 3 (or 4) now. Enjoying it, bit weird in places, and not enough action yet but should get better.

Brody's wife is pretty hot too.

It's really good. There's lots of little things that you will pick up on later. So many twists and turns as well.

I've watched all of it (US current). It rocks

Have only seen Episode 1 so fat and thought it was amazing.

Didn't realise Channel 4 were showing it and have bought the episodes from iTunes.

Im going to start watching this on itunes tonight.

Seen the first three episodes on C4, at this stage it could be very good or it could be a bit meh.

Brody's wife is Morena Baccarin, the courtesan from Firefly and the Ori woman from the crap episodes of Stargate. I'm so happy to have finally seen her naked breasts

She used to be a man, she's got a huge Adam's apple.

I thought it was very good. Slightly disappointed about the ending but also excited for season 2

Firefly <3 She was also in "V".

Homeland is a great piece of TV, looking forward to season 2.

Oh wow, I've been watching it on C4 thinking it was brand new! Can easily watch it elsewhere now at my own speed! (AKA all of them right now!

)

Really enjoyed the first three episodes that I've seen anyway.

After episode one it's a VERY average show. Clare Danes is appalling - her acting in almost every scene she is in ruins everything.

Persist with it, it's very slow but gets amazing

It's good - but when I think of 24...hmmmm

setter · 18 Mar 2012 at 12:05

Watched it all but the last episode so far. It is a bit slow moving in places, but really worth sticking with. Gotta agree about Claire dane's character, gets on my nerves.

DcD · 19 Mar 2012 at 13:58

Hm, I must've been one of the few that thought she was pretty damn good.

fozzybear · 19 Mar 2012 at 15:46

I don't actually think the Claire Danes character is supposed to be likeable. I think she's pretty good in it.

I'm finding it a bit of a drag so far. There just seems to be more style than substance at the moment. Not sure whether to stick with it or not.

vanandjuanunited · 19 Mar 2012 at 15:50

Thought it was excellent. Twists and turns throughout. Curious how season 2 will go.

You haven't watched Death in Love then

Spuj · 23 Mar 2012 at 11:57

I knew I recognised Brody's wife from somewhere, Firefly!! Thanks guys.

Watched Episode 1 last night and really enjoyed it, looking forward to watching the rest of the series!

The character Saul - can anyone confirm if he's a Muslim or not (based on the UK episodes only)? He has a Jewish name and appearance but when he interrogated the suspected terrorist he kissed him and spoke some words in Arabic. We've seen him doing some chanting too, though that could have been in Hebrew. Finally his wife is from south Asia, India to be precise but there are a lot of Muslims living in India so she could be one and he had to convert to marry her.

I think we're being set up to think Saul is a bad guy, in addition to the great crime of possibly being a Muslim, last night he failed the initial polygraph, but I reckon he'll turn out to be OK. I reckon that black CIA dude was the one who slipped the razor blade, when Carrie was watching the fight you can see him put his hands in his pocket and then on the edge of the table.

Droolinggimp · 26 Mar 2012 at 10:57

I noticed that too regarding the Video and him apparently putting something on the table, but then again that could be a crumb for us to eat and make of it what we will.

Just like Brodys finger flicking when he's on TV. That gets explained.

One thing that's annoying me is the amount of sex there is. Is there any need really. I can see the point to some extent due to Brodys lack of sex

and his wifes affair with his best friend

but it just seems smutty and sort of ruins it for me. My missus thinks so too. Over all good TV and looking forward to the last few episodes.

Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy.. ? Can't wait to find out.
