TV Series Review: HOMELAND SEASON 3 (2011- ) AAA

In my previous review of Seasons 1 and 2, I said I was hooked on the material and plot of the show. At that time I had just watched the first three episode of Homeland on a Netflix DVD.

Homeland has been showing for some time on The Showtime Channel. I said Seasons 1 and 2 were complete and Season 3 was being filmed.At that time I totally underestimated the entertainment value of the series.

It's an action adventure thriller based of the CIA chasing terrorists . . . but not the usual stuff. Complex plot, well written, excellent action, fast moving. Couldn't ask for more. If you are into sitting at the edge of your seat . . . this is for you. You won't be disappointed.

I recently watched Season 3. Some of the best TV I have ever seen. The plot (and CIA strategies) are totally unpredictable and super exciting. Too bad the real CIA is not as smart as the writers on Homeland. (i.e. Bay Of Pigs, Iraq, etc.).

People have tried to compare it to 24; but its much better in terms of scripting and is much more believable and convincing. It is also less violent and depends less on special effects.

Far superior to most movies. Season 4 is being shown on The Showtime Channel at this time.

Warren is retired and lives in Florida where he runs a foreign movie program for adults. He subscribes to NETFLIX and uses Rotten Tomatoes as one of the sources for selecting movies to review.

Started watching movies at about eight years old and was strongly influenced by "Fantasia" for it's combination of music and fantasy. He was profoundly impacted in his early teen years by the social content in "I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG".

As a kid he used to enter the movie house in the middle of a double feature and leave when the movie reached the part where he came in. Loved serials and was able to see most double features for ten or twenty-five cents.

A graduate of Columbia University and City College of New York (CCNY), he strongly believes that good movies . . . with mature content . . . are a significant supplement to education and insight into the world around us. No egghead, he also believes that "It's A Wonderful Life", "Young Frankenstein", "The Producers", West Side Story", and "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" are great films.
