[TV] Homeland Season 7

[Chicken Run]

I totally agree that it went off piste for at least a season but 6 was quiet superb and apparently 7 is going to rock!!

 

[Nixonator]

One of the best series around, went a little downhill in the 1-2 series after brody but has gotten even better than the first two series now.

 

[W3 BHA]

Snap. It just got utterly ridiculous.

It would be just about bearable if Claire Danes weren't so bloody annoying, constantly resorting to the one shocked/surprised/upset/scared acting expression she has. I know it's a work of fiction but you've really got to hope that the FBI wouldn't have anyone like her within a million miles of them!

Or the CIA?

 

[Miximate]

I haven’t watched it since series 2 (or 3?), is it worth getting back into?
I’ve just finished Peaky Blinders and need something else.

Recommend GOMORRAH on Sky Atlantic. Italian with subtitles but worth sticking with

 

[GoingUp]

I hate when you keep up to date with series that hasnt finished, wait 18months for the next one and then cant remember what the fu*k happened last. I know 'whats his name' went stir crazy, thats all I can remember now. I prefer watching a series that has finished or has done by the time you get to the last series and then binging the whole lot.

 

[The Clamp]

They don’t. That’ll be your TV settings. Make sure most of the extras that are meant to improve things are switched off.

Yeah. I'll do that. I have some video tapes to return first. But yeah, I'll go ahead and get right onto that.

 

[vegster]

All rather MEH, since Brody died...

Couldn't get on with that blonde woman running around arguing with everyone all the time, bailed out about halfway through the second series. Genuinely surprised its still plodding on.

 

[Weststander]

Loved it for 2 or 3 seasons, then lost all will to follow it further.

 

[HantsSeagull]

just binged season 6 and yes its absurd but i still enjoy it

 

[Turkey]

Thought it lost its way a bit after the first season story was told but once freed from those shackles have really enjoyed the past few seasons.

 

[trueblue]

Yeah. I'll do that. I have some video tapes to return first. But yeah, I'll go ahead and get right onto that.

Just trying to help. On mine, things like HDR, digital smoothing and the motion setting are all best switched off. One or a combination of those - not sure which as I haven’t bothered working it out exactly - gives the horrible handycam effect you describe.

But keep watching you shit picture, why not? Enjoy.

Anyone who watches in SD when HD is available is retarded.

Bit harsh?

 

[Steve in Japan]

I think I am reaching box set saturation now - just so much available, mostly indifferent quality and seems to expand to fill the 10 or 12 x 50 minutes available. IMHO of course. It was Little Big Lies that pushed me over the edge, but Series 3 of Homeland started the rot. I am going back to movies for a bit.

 

[desprateseagull]

Billions is a very good substitute, for Homeland, if you're into finance / legal dramas.. Damian Lewis great in this too, and some (female!) boobage possible..

 

[LamieRobertson]

Quite enjoyed this series ...I felt it had lost its way ...last ever episode showing on C4 ....about to start

 

[Jam The Man]

Had a couple of slow lows over the last decade, but all told that was a cracking series.


Loving Saul’s retort to Carrie.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I for one will miss Homeland.

I agree that there have been a coupe of seasons that weren't so good (notably the one set in Germany) but this season has, IMO, been brilliant - and so wonderfully up to date with regards to the situation in Afghanistan/Pakistan etc.

Superb last ever episode last night, and a brilliantly written ending.

Enjoyed the early series. Saul was always good. Latterly, Ken Barlow's lad done good, but it has been a real struggle sticking with it because of the abominable over acting of Clare Danes. For us, she was incredibly irritating and detracted from a basically good story.The idea that any government agency in the world would allow her to carry on working for them after her antics in series 1 (and every single series since) is laughable. And the facial extortion several times an episode (several times a minute, actually!) often made me feel I was watcing a rerun of Phil Cool!

Good episode last night. Satisfactory ending. In summary, could have been a great series without Carrier.
