New Show: Homeland

Homeland
In case you haven't heard and don't want to miss it, this is on Showtime tomorrow night, but the pilot is already online. We haven’t watched it yet, but we will.

Starring: Claire Danes (My So-Called Life, Stardust, Romeo + Juliet), Damian Lewis (Life), Mandy Patinkin (Yentl, The Princess Bride), and Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity, V).

Plot: Carrie Mathison, a paranoid, loose cannon CIA operations officer, is convinced that a former prisoner of war was turned by the enemy and poses a great risk to national security.

Why We Are Excited: Claire Danes isn’t bad. The reviews say that this is thrilling, edge-of-your-seat, and that it’s going to be hard for us to wait for the next episode. Some are calling it a smarter version of 24. People involved in 24 are also involved in this.

Why We Are Not Excited: We do not find Damian Lewis attractive. We like when guys are hot. But that’s really our only quibble at this point. One of us never got into 24.
