Meanwhile, Carrie is forced to play second fiddle after her rash judgment call at the hotel as Estes is busy keeping Jessica off their trail. Download Video Homeland Q&A Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Homeland Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Who's the hero – who's the threat? When MIA Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody returns home to a hero's welcome after eight years in enemy confinement, brilliant but volatile CIA agent Carrie Mathison isn't buying his story. She believes that Brody has been turned and is now working for Al Qaeda. What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse with nothing short of American national security at stake. Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patankin star in the provocative, suspenseful new Showtime Original Series HOMELAND, from Executive Producers of "24".You may remember that season garnered Homeland an Emmy for best drama, one for Claire Danes as best actress, another for Damian Lewis as best actor and yet another for best writing.
What the Emmy voters are saying so forcefully here, in case you missed the hammer coming down, is that Homeland is the best show on television.
That's debatable and shouldn't even be broached until season two is over and in the books. As of Sunday night, season two is just beginning. Having watched the first two episodes made available by Showtime, this much is clear: Homeland is as riveting and addictive as when we last saw it, kicking off with no lull in the pulse-pounding action.
At least in the first two episodes, whatever doubts there are about keeping the plates spinning is put to rest. Both hours fly by, the plot of each is energetic, complex and addictive. Better yet, Danes and Lewis immediately put exclamation marks on their Emmy victories with a couple of outstanding performances.
This is the textbook way a series wants to return after dominating the industries highest awards just a week earlier. You couldn't have scripted it better.
The beauty about the first season of Homeland is that it ended in a gloriously oblique manner, like an excellent book or movie. The is-he-or-isn't-he question regarding Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Lewis) then became will-he-or-won't-he in the finale.
Working backward, we know that Brody didn't blow up the vice president and a room full of top-level diplomats. But that didn't mean he dropped his allegiance to Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban), nor his newfound Muslim religion.
And poor, fighting-the-crazy CIA agent Carrie (Danes) was right but proved wrong, and she vaporized off our TV screens biting down on a mouth guard as electroshock therapy kicked in.
As season two begins, Carrie is being cared for by her father and sister, living life slowly and teaching English to foreigners. She's out of the CIA, of course, and apparently happy with that decision. But she's pulled back in (at least temporarily) when one of her valuable assets in the Middle East steps up with important information but will only tell it to Carrie.
Season two will not only have to find a way to get Claire back in the fold (there appears to be a plenty good plan for that) and to keep the warring internal battle of Brody's loyalties as complex and ruinous as possible. They are tearing the man apart and nobody wears that stress better than Lewis.
Then again, nobody knew where season one was going even when they thought they did. So to guess at motives in season two might be equally absurd. Perhaps it's best just to sit back Sunday night and the rest of the season and see if the writers and producers can duplicate the impossible all over again. Here's to the effort, at least.
This is a masterpiece of TV thriller/action/drama . Sharp, sophisticated, clear and crisp. Excellent performance of the entire cast.It's realistic tense, action packed 12 hours of just well made TV.!The storyline is crafted in such a brilliant way that from the first episode ,one can not wait to see how the drama concludes. I said realistic , as the cast so brilliantly fit in to their characters.
