No its just a mixture of reviews from various US newspapers

Thanks. That has whetted my appetite. Roll on next Sunday!

The quotes in that linked article has wet my appetite! I can't f*cking wait! Here's an example of a few:

Am rewatching season 1 as, shoot me, need a reminder of the ending. So far, first 2 eps, remind me why it's so damn good.

I'm late to the party but after seeing the hype for Season 2 on the telly, I thought I'd give Season 1 a whirl. Watched first episode online today, to see if it was my kinda thing as I was not sure, but the answer to that is a resounding yes. Really enjoyed the pilot, and shall try and find time tomorrow to nip into town and get the DVD from my local CEX shop. (Checked online just now, and they have it in stock )

Claire Danes impressed me a lot, I liked her noticing the hand signals, looking forward to seeing if they mean anything. And I'm guessing that we don't find out for a while if Brody is good or bad right away, so looking forward to seeing how he and Danes play off each other (already liked the little bit we got in the pilot with her interrogating him about the terrorist).

According to my sky box, episode 1 of series 2 isn't being broadcast in native HD on channel 4 HD next Sunday, hopefully that is just a glitch in the planner and not a sign of upscaled SD content

Roll on Sun - am Sky + the Channel 4 + 1 @ 10pm as will be a bit cluttered earlier with X factor, Downton Abbey & Strictly if the do a results show on a Sun

I envy you - seeing it for the first time (although second time around, it's still great!). Clare Danes and Damian Lewis are both superb actors - their Emmys are well-deserved - and the scenes between Carrie and Brody are among the best (along with the scenes between Carrie and Saul). Take care not to stumble on any spoilers in this thread.

I'm quite tempted to get the original Israeli version on DVD as that's also supposed to excellent, but it's about £21.00 on Amazon!

I've watched the Israeli "Prisoners of War" series now too. There are obvious similarities between that and Homeland but they are two totally different dramas to watch.

Both are excellent but I personally enjoyed Homeland more as entertainment and was more hooked in and desperate to see the next ep.

Prisoners of War is much more intense, grittier, truer to the desperate reality of being in captivity, has a tighter plot, is less sensationalized, less "far fetched" than Homeland and much, much darker. It has some great writing & performances in it but it is heavy subject matter too as a result of all the above.

It focuses more on the reality of what happens during and after captivity for the pow's. Prisoner's of War is a lot more graphic. Homeland skates over the darker elements to provide a more palatable series to watch.

I like a drama to be entertaining not so heavy so Homeland is my preferred choice of the two but I recommend both. if you get the chance to watch Prisoners of War, do but it's not for the squeamish.

Yeah I saw this as well and have been browsing for any official word but can't seem to find any.

I've been catching up on homeland on more4 as I didn't see it the first time around. I am hooked. Most amazing thing I've watched in a while.

Glad so many new people are joining the club! Welcome!

HD please please please Ch4.

really looking forward to the second series of this

usually not a fan of the gung-ho type american spy series so this was a welcome surprise , felt very real compared to most shows

interested to see how claire danes character develops after how season one ended

There is no Strictly show on Sunday

I'm with VM and my EPG has Homeland scheduled on 4HD so this is probably just a glitch with Sky.

Bloody 'ell, I seem to have developed superhuman skills in diving on the remote control at the speed of light to avoid all the blimmin' spoilers they're showing!

4 more sleeps

Good luck with avoiding them, it's becoming a challenge.

l dare say just as the 1st episode is about to air, the announcer will spout off a bunch of spoilers for the up coming episode.

So be aware.

Now showing as being broadcast in HD on the sky planner

I don't think I've whizzed through a season of tv like that in years! Truly brilliant stuff! Just got done watching the finale, which was right up there with the best tv episodes I've seen. Claire Danes (especially in those last 3 episodes or so) is a phenomenon, stunning performances.

Thanks
I'm about to catch up on more4 now. I have my coco ready and I'm excited.

Only 3 more nights to go before it begins!

Count me in as another fan of this great show!

It is good to see a Brit in such a high profile role as well, I always enjoy a show that bit more, knowing that a Brit is staring in it, and doing well for themselves.

Also gotta give a shout out to the girl who plays Dana. One of the most underrated performances on the show. Perfectly portrayed the moody teenager and she was brilliant in the later episodes when she suspected her Dad and when Carrie made her call him.

Watching now on more4 and I'm loving it. I never want it to end.
