Homeland (2011)
Season one: Another superb series that is cleverer than it seems to begin with. Damian Lewis is excellent and Claire Danes gives the performance of her life, especially in the penultimate episode. And after 24 I’m glad that similar topics are again entering television waters. Keep up the good work.Season two: It has much higher tempo and hasn’t lost any suspense. The tension rises even higher and the final episodes are the very best. Unexpected development of events, excellent action and memories of the days of Jack Bauer. The inroads into a third season look very positive, I can’t wait. Season three: A grand finale loaded with silent emotions that drives the implementation of an ingenious plan in the interests of the “greater good". The creators are free to start over with a clean sheet. Season four: Hot damn, Quinn! He’s showing his full colors this season and while Carrie often stoops below the level of endurability, the sympathies of the couch potato shift to his side. The focus on Pakistan was a move of genius from the very beginning and the creators make the most of the foreign environment (we see the USA only in perhaps three episodes). Espionage and counter-espionage implemented by the book with brutal twists and consequences. The Brody family is gone at last, so it flows along pleasantly. Just what I was hoping for.Season five: Berlin, Germany. Almost brutally contemporary. There’s nothing on TV right now that reflects world events so precisely. Hats off to the creators for not flinching at broadcasting even after Paris, in fact they made good use of the attack. Snowden, Syria, immigrants. Questions that must be asked, consequences that must be taken into account. The modern history of yesterday.
