Hello Homeland fans.
![]() Does anyone here know where I can download all of series 1 and maybe 2? I've heard good things about Homeland and would like to watch from the beginning. Many thanks in advance. |

I onder if Quinn is going to be in series three? I hope so as I think he's a good character.
Have to agree with a few of the other posters on here - Dana is awful and I'd be happy never to see her in Homeland again! |

Agree Dana's a pain, I agree her role is good, but I think she is the weakest actress in the show, very wooden.
I really struggle to hear what she's saying, she hardly moves her mouth when she talks! |

Elsewhere ... just popped by to mention the outstanding photography - some of the final hour was so beautifully framed. And also the sound, sure they used incidental music to support a scene or several but they also had the balls to minimise that reliance. A lot of people on Homeland were encouraged to their very best game. |

i'm liking it, but i'm waiting for it to get really good, does it take a while for it to become brilliant? |

They certainly 'padded out' the last episode, could have lost the extract 20 minutes.

It's pretty obv. a teenage confidence thing. Some teens mumble when talking to grown ups, esp. if it involves difficult answers. She's not exactly the first to exhibit. Some might even call it authentic characterisation.

No it isn't bad acting ,I believe the actress is playing the part well . She's meant to be like that.Hasn't had a joyous anxiety free moment apart from when Finn first took interest in her.
She's the silent type, busy figuring all of this " shit" as she calls it , out . She's found out her dad's a Moslem, her mother's not really interested in her dad , Carrie calls to tell her her dad's a potential suicide bomber , she's taken part in a joy ride which ended in killing an innocent person only to find she's not allowed to confess thereby destroying how she thinks the politicians of the country run it , now her dad's left her mum and Finn's dead . Not much to smile about ? |

the phrase 'angst ridden teenager' comes to mind. Probably listens to The Cure a lot, maybe The Smiths on a good day.
Obv. talking about the character Dana and not the actress playing her. |

Shucks. My Bonny and Clyde scenario nearly came true - then Carrie decided to "find the truth".
Ah well. I still think Brody is a baddie and that Carrie is deluded. |

In that context, explain the scene in which Brody spoke to Abu Nazir and pleaded with him to release Carrie before handing over the code for Walden's pacemaker. If the whole scenario was pre-planned, that entire conversation was unnecessary. |

I can't believe the CIA are still employing Carrie after
S2. It's a good mirror of Carrie's relationship with Brodie, despite knowing about some of the thing's he's done. |

Imo, Saul and Carrie is pretty much a father/daughter thing. Carrie and Brody are a PTSD mutual support group, to mention one of several disorders pertaining to the pair.
In both cases the bonds go some way beyond conventional relationships an/or employment. |
