I see Sky Arts are screening "Prisoners of war" in May ( Homelands is based on this Israeli series. Has anyone seen it and know if it is as gripping as Homelands ?
Homeland on Ch4 (UK Pace) - No Spoilers!

She tried to fight back, he got more violent. Surely going by your logic, if a girl is too scared to talk it's not not rape. then? (This is a gruesome topic so we probably shouldn't go too in depth)

It was simultaneously amusing and horrific. I think I ended the series feeling slightly more kindly disposed towards Mark, but he really is an idiot in may ways.

Not sure but someone on here will know!
The wife reminds me a little of Ashley Judd - but not quite as special. In fact, she's the only actor who doesn't quite convince me
I don't know if it is just because I get so engrossed, but the commercial breaks seem to come very frequently.
