TV Show - Homeland - S01E01

After seeing Band of Brothers Damion Lewis is one of the few people I would gladly follow into combat, provided it was well chroreographed and historically accurate. And although a different century he is back in uniform. Developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa both of whom have worked on 24, X-files and a string of other highly reguarded shows.


After going missing in Irag Sergent Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) is returning home after 8 years in captivity. Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is a CIA officer that hears from an Iraqi prisoner that Al-Qaeda has turned a US prisoner and plan to use him in an attack on the US, a prisoner Mathison believes is Brody. However the government believe that he is a Hero and welcome him back as such forceing Mathison to work outside the box, with her old mentor Saul (Mandy Patinkin) to follow up her lead and prevent an attack on american soil. Thinking her husband was dead Brody's wife, Jessica (Morena Baccarin) has been going out with Brody's bestfriend Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) but is now trying to reconstruct her marriage. Although the pace is not overly speedy the plot is interesting, characters believable and acting is awesome I will definitely put this on the list of things to watch.
