      • Apr 29, 2023

        A tremendous thriller that will keep you watching as the characters and plot gets even more exciting.

      • Nov 14, 2022

        Just as the first season, this second season just nails the acting skills and the plotline is even more entertaining than the first season. Absolute Must See!!

      • Jan 23, 2022

        This series is the exact opposite of garbage like American Horror Story. That alone is reason to watch it. It feels like it was written more in the style of a book rather than a TV series or film and that adds to the way that the plot builds. It's not a complex path from plot development to conclusion…it just builds at a steady, interesting pace and each episode completes another piece of the puzzle of what becomes the overall picture. It's easy to watch but it's almost one of the more complex series (or at least was at the time of production). Series have come a long way over the past decade but the majority are just crappy franchises and profit vehicles for studios who are chasing after that endless story that will hook and capture audiences enough that they'll keep their subscriptions. This series was about telling a story so they didn't drag audiences out too far or too long…each season had its own main plot and that plot typically tied itself up by the end. Producers depended on solid writing, acting and storytelling to keep audiences coming back…not endless gimmicks and a never ending story (think Handmaid's Tale) that go nowhere but circles until they've literally bored even the most ardent fans into numbness. Kudos to the producers for making something of substance that actually went somewhere.

        Nicht alle Aspekte des Deals mit diesem Unternehmen sind ideal

      • Sep 28, 2020

        Homeland delivers a thrilling second season as the stakes get higher and secrets are revealed. When Brody's suicide tape is discovered during a mission in Beirut, Carrie is brought back into the CIA to run an operation to uncover Body's terrorist cell; meanwhile Vice President Walden courts Body as a potential running mate for the upcoming election. Once again Claire Danes and Damian Lewis give excellent performances that are extremely compelling. And the writers do an extraordinary job at building the tension and suspense, and at constructing the season story arc. They also continue to probe topical sociopolitical issues in interesting ways. Additionally, the action scenes are intense and exciting, heightening the drama, and enough can't be said about the mind-bending season finale that changes everything. Delving deep into the world of espionage, terrorism, and politics, Season 2 of Homeland is incredibly powerful and full of intrigue.

        American propaganda us against them type of thing. Truly detestable only white americans warmongers love this type of BS.

      • May 05, 2020

        Homeland is one of those shows that makes people think about everything that goes on around the world, related not only to CIA, GRU, ISI, but most importantly it teaches you to put things into perspective and not judge people directly. Everyone has their reasons and their causes for behaving in certain ways, but the most important thing is being able to realize that people think differently for many reasons. It is not the worst, it's what makes us human in the first place. This show is about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. It sounds cliché, but it might save the day, the month, the year or the world! Regarding the show, the actors are amazing. Don't stop watching after season 3.

      • Apr 26, 2020

        typical series about cia/fbi stuff between us vs m.e.

      • Feb 05, 2019

        Great writing, unexpected twists and turns. Fantastic performances by Damien Lewis, Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin. It may be a slight step down from the magic of the first season - but I am still hooked.

      • Jul 29, 2017

        Surprised at the overall reactions of this series, and thus its popularity (but then, "Friends" was once the #1 TV show in America, so, what can I really expect? I watched the first two seasons, and got terribly bored from: A) the TERRIBLE acting, particularly by Claire Danes (god, she's HORRIBLE in it; whether that's the directors she's working with or what?), it was almost unwatchable, and so TYPICALLY "TV" B-quality crap acting. B) the OBVIOUS propagandist nature of the series... in this sense, Mandy Patinkin's participation (and I REALLY like him as an actor) is OBVIOUS in his Pro-Isreal / Anti-Muslim rhetoric, in the scripting, and his acting (the sheer horror in his face when this question of division between the two sides of this conflict supercedes his acting of the role he's playing, his hatefulness is that obvious, to me). But generally, the overall production is SO Flag-Waving USA We're SO Persecuted Yet Innocent !!! (Wei she ma ta men bu shi wan wa men ?!?!?) I couldn't keep watching. Yes, it is timely and maybe even accurate, if you want to compare it to the over-reaction of Western / Muslim phobia that is propagated by Western main stream media! But seriously ???? C) The writing overall was just so main-stream "TV-Lame". Maybe it got better over the years? After 2 seasons, I couldn't see it trending in that direction. Generally bored, overtly unimpressed by the acting quality, and implicitly offended by the propagandist crap. To be clear, my personal viewpoint is not Pro-anything or Anit-anything; I am of Western origin, raised in a Christian environment, but there are two sides to every story. This program doesn't try to remotely consider the circumstances of life today with any objectivity what-so-ever. That's disappointing. Hey, but that's just me!
