Homeland

Amazing actor and probably one of the coolest characters I've seen in a long time in any series.

Rupert Friend is equipped with the weirdest and coolest charisma and he fits the role extremely well. I wish I'll soon witness him in similar roles in movies or series, where ever, please. Otherwise I'll just have to watch couple of seasons again.

I wish he would have stayed in this series till the end. No spoilers here, you can see it clearly from IMDb that he is not acting in every episode. This is something the people writing this series could have written some other way.

Yeah, the series is ok otherwise as well, but without him it's like food without salt or pepper, both.

So sad to see eight years come to a close, but what a close it was! I want to thank the entire cast, writers, production, and post production crews for putting together such a fab series.

You hear a lot about Breaking Bad, Sopranos and Game of Thrones, but Homeland is one of the most underrated and lesser known in the league of 'greatest series of all time'.

The show has some of the best acting, production and storytelling around. And although the underlying narrative is espionage and counterterrorism, it will take you on a ride through a whole range of emotions from elation to despair, sorrow and frustration.

The acting of Claire Danes has been said to be so realistic that people questioned whether she really was bipolar, Meanwhile she is supported by Mandy Patinkin and Rupert Friend who also feel like lead actors most of the time.

Each season gets deep into its topic in full grit and realism, leaving you convinced that the events could actually take place in real life. I've a very analytical person and tend to scrutinise shows to the enth degree but with Homeland I left my analytical mind at the door because it was so believable.

Before Homeland came along I felt that 24 with Jack Bauer was realistic, but Homeland makes 24 look like the Barbie movie.

Can't recommend this enough to anyone interested in quality shows.

The last few seasons of Homeland were not quite as good as the earlier ones and but I still gave it an 8/10 because the first 4 or 5 seasons were so good and was one of the best shows on TV during those seasons! The ending was also great and we all know how hard it is to end a good show with a good ending! I really do miss this show!

Homeland was such a smart and interesting show. It started following the story of Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) who returns home a hero following eight years in captivity. Bipolar CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) thinks he has turned and wants to commit a terrorist act on American soil. Every season follows Carrie as she tries to prevent terrorists from carrying out their plots. I loved the entire series but have to admit that the last few seasons of Homeland have gone down a little in quality. They're still pretty good as long as you don't compare them to the first few seasons. I really can't recommend this show enough.
