If you haven’t yet tuned into Showtime‘s Homeland, stop what you’re doing and get on the ball. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to make time for this show. Defined by absolutely stunning performances from Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin, the first season was edge-of-your-seat entertainment that seemed impossible to follow up.
While the second season wasn’t quite the shocking breath of fresh air that the first one way, the performers continued to entrance us and it proved the Homeland was here to stay as a massive entertaining show. From 24’s showrunner Howard Gordon, Homeland is based on the Israeli series Hatufim, obviously changed to make it pertinent to an American audience.

Anyone who has kept up with the show has surely latched onto the love story of mentally unstable CIA operative, Carrie Mathison (Danes), and shifty domestic terrorist, Nicholas Brody (Lewis). Since the second season ended with a bang (pun intended), this next part of the journey could really go anywhere and that’s one of the best parts of this show – we literally have no idea where it will be heading next. I, for one, can’t wait for the next part of this stellar series. New episodes premiere on September 29.
