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.

HOMELAND SEASONS 1/2 (2011- ) A+

I'm hooked. I just watched the first three episode of Homeland on a Netflix DVD. Homeland has been showing for some time on The Showtime Channel. Seasons 1 and 2 are complete and Season 3 is being filmed at this time. Has won all sorts of Awards.

TV Series Review: THE AMERICANS Season 2 (2013-2014) AAA

Set during the Reagan presidency, this Cold War drama follows two married Soviet sleeper agents living discreetly near Washington, D.C. 

As I said when I reviewed Season 1 of this series,  Homeland and The Americans creates a new era of spy series on TV.  24 was good in it's time but The Americans films are fast moving exciting, and have elements of marital discord, psychology, and great action and acting.  DO NOT MISS IT.  Season 3 coming up in Jan of this year, 2015.
