I'm not, I'm finding it boring and I don't care about any of the story lines tbh.
I'm not sure if it's because there has been no Brody or what, but the quality of the show.
I'm not sure if I'm in a minority or not, but your welcome to disagree with me.
I only say because the first two series' were must see for me, and now, I'm pretty meh about it.

watching "Homeland" because I thought it would be a serious drama about US Intelligence, instead of (post-S1) a silly airport-novel-for-TV with implausible twists and the heroine
pining after an unattainable man.
My main hope is they kill off Carrie and Dana and return it to being a proper drama rather than a shitty soap.
The first 2 episode might as well not have happened for all that didn't happen in them.
I really don't care about Dana or who her latest boyfriend (shag) is.
And the mental health angle is being handled really badly.
of trying to work things out rationally? I can't see, (say)
George Smiley acting like that.
Was George Smiley bipolar?
Hope it improves soon
I'm just hoping that's it for the 'Dana story' now.....but I've a horrible feeling it's not:mad:
Middle Eastern Culture. For instance, "Abu Nazir" means something like "Father of Nasir"
in English. Yet Arabic speaker Carrie continually refers to him as "Nasir" - which
doesn't make sense. Since "Homeland" is supposed to be a serious drama a la "The Wire", "Breaking Bad" or "Mad Men", such errors really hurt suspension of
disbelief.
There are millions of Arabic speakers in the world; it would hardly
bankrupt the show to hire one as a consultant.
s2 was boring
yet to start s3
I'm beginning to think it should've been a one season only series.
The previous seasons had a clear dive. S1 was 'is he/isn't he a terrorist', and S2 being Brody torn in two between the CIA and Nasir.
Now, there is no direction, for the moment, and 'chasing the moneymen' plot is just dull... It needs some clear target and spooky stuff.
Mumbling Dana, and mad bad Carrie are not really doing it for me. Not to mention 'personality transplant' Saul, who seems to have gone from the solid core of reason to full on raving neo-con.
