Damn, there was no thread on this? This is an awesome show, it deffos keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see whats going on. It's got an excellent pace, something a lot of shows can mess up. Also, am I the only one who thinks Damien Lewis plays an excellent American?

It started off weird but has grown into quite a compelling show

Anyone still watching this? It's starting to get interesting now.

Homeland just won the Golden Globe for best TV drama

A very well deserved win.

I decided to start watching this after it won the golden globe. I've watched the first episode and liked it, i assume from the posts in this thread it's well worth watching?

I think it was the best new series of the season, and is easily up there with the other top-notch US dramas.
