Forget about Showtime’s awful ‘Homeland’ and switch instead to the eye-stabbingly fun ‘Hunted’ from the BBC. Heres why:

Laptop – (CN) – Consumptive in Chief just finished watching Season One of Showtime’s Homeland.
April brings us Season Two of the gritty reality based HBO drama ‘Game of Thrones’. Season One of Game of Thrones’ provided an almost documentary take on the byzantine American political scene.
Consumptive Judgement:
Toned down production values is the backdrop of ‘Game of Thrones’ simple morality play and mirror on our complicated times. Great underplayed acting is scene throughout but particularly by Sean Bean in the role of Senator Stark.
Even for the fantasy genre which ‘Homeland’ originates, one cannot help but think it’s far to outlandish to be taken seriously beyond children’s fare. Sure, Claire Danes gets high marks for her acting in the role of a German speaking voyeur in the East German secret police spying on ginger political miscreants but even she can’t overcome the drool covered plot only head writer Kevin Smith could love.
I just watched the first episode of Showtime’s 2011 series ‘Homeland’ and this is my review:
When you immediately start cheering for the Ginger Al Qæda…
…and simultaneously want to see less of Claire Danes tits…
…perhaps this isn’t the series for you.
I’ll give it a couple more episodes seeing as it took Vuze so long to download it…
