The series is based on the traditional stereotyping, a story portraying Muslims as terrorists who want to destroy America. Highly NOT recommended.

Outstanding

With excellent writing, eerily convincing performances from Claire Danes and Damien Lewis and gripping tension at its core, this is truly one of the best pieces of television of the past few years.

This show had me hooked from episode 1, Both Clare Danes and Damien Lewis portray their characters superbly and the support cast also put in top notch performances. A fantastic storyline and more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing.
If you like your tv shows to keep you guessing, Do not miss this one

Why don't they make a UK Version

I love Homeland, but if they made a UK Version, which UK viewers can relate to. Overall, Homeland is great, may it live long and prosper

The very concept that a Green Beret would turn like this on his country is itself enough to make me watch this. I don't think i have seen anything as good for a long time. Its great to be able to download this on iTunes and watch at my leisure. A must, so much going on, you will want to watch it again and again just to really take all that is going on here.
Great stuff.

Best tv series EVER !

I totally love these programs I m
watching series 2 weekly now but 1 is absolutely brilliant .I love it that much it's the best program I ve ever seen every week you can't wait for the next one there's always a cliff hanger. It's intelligent and interesting and exciting wow ! I d give it 10 stars if I could !!! Think you need to watch series 1 to understand 2 , the relationships between the characters and the story is complex but intriguing ...

Amazing!!

With all the hype around this series I decided to give it a go, and I think it's good but I don't see why this was commissioned for a second series when a show like FlashForward which I think is better was cancelled after the first series.
Anyways I think its alright and hoping it gets a bit more exciting!

I also had a problem downloading Episode 2 - only 30 seconds were downloaded. How can I fix this?
Otherwise, quality (even SD) is excellent on iPad and Apple TV works a treat for watching on the BIG screen.
I've only just got into this series and am simultaneously watching Series 2 on TV. Am loving it!

Above average

Just one episode of mad men/ b.bad/ walking dead/ game of thrones had more entertainment than the entire series of this. However I would say its a worthy successor to 24 so I give it a 6.5/10

Watched when originally aired in the UK and was hooked-I don't mind admitting I usually give these kind of 'same format, ten a penny shows' a wide berth - but this felt and played different.
Clare dames and Damien Lewis are just fantastic - couldn't be be better casting tbh - Nearly overshadowed by the brilliant Mandy Patinkin
I won't spoil any plots in case there's anyone whos still undecided and hasn't seen this series - suffice to say you won't be disappointed.
An ultimately satisfying programme with a decent climax that leaves you excited for series 2

Fantastic

Brilliant series, can't wait for season 2 (Hope there is going to be a season 2)! One of the best series I've watched. There are unexpected twists that although you know they are coming, they are not what you expect, definitely worth watching.

Nothing but amazing! Damian Lewis is absolutely fantastic and is one of the British actors to keep an eye on and probably destined for greater things. He has continually gone from strength to strength and really built upon another fantastic program band of brothers.

Very Slow burner & annoyingly predictable

It took until the second from last episode for a cliff hanger ending. This is a very slow burner, with obvious twists and turns and no affiliation or love for any of the characters.
With TV shows such as 24, Lost, Prison Break etc you always have someone to hang your hat on. A main character that made you feel safe and you could trust to save the day. In Homeland there is no such character. It's just filled with annoying double agents that you can spot a mile off. it's all been done before, but far far better in 24.
For me the jury is not out on this one. It's a poor mans 24, and in no way should it be compared to That classic of the past decade.
I don't see where this show can possibly go from here. I may try and watch series 2, but without a strong lead character, and a dramatic change in direction, I am pretty sure I won't enjoy it.

Very good series

Along with a number of people I missed this when it originally aired but was encouraged by the positive reviews it was receiving.
Having read the excellent comments left on this site I invested in the series.
The first couple of episodes were explosive but then it started to get stale.
Strangely I found myself wanting to watch the next episode but felt it was moving too slowly.
On the positive side Claire Danes acting is superb whilst some of the co-actors appear wooden.
Does it compare to 24?...No!
Will I watch the next series....the juries still out.
In the meantime I will continue working my way through the complete series of WEST WING

Good, but doesn't live up to the surrounding hype....

Having missed this during it's initial broadcast in the UK, but having heard a couple of friends and a lot of people online rave about it, I decided to download it and give it a go.....
Unfortunately i found the series lacking, slow in places and with a feeling of 'is that really it? What was the hype about?'
It's not a bad series, it just doesn't live up to the hype and is nothing revolutionary. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis play great parts, but some of the other actors are somewhat lacking. People have compared it to 24, which it is similar to but without the same pace and intensity and with much less 'on the edge of your seat' action and dramatic cliff hangers that 24 had and which kept you saying 'just one more episode' until you realised it was 3 o'clock in the morning!
Overall, something worth watching to replace 24, but a poor relation to the world of Jack Bauer.

Not to missed!

It may be exciting for the first two episode but trust me after then it gets terrible. Nothing interesting happens. The characters are so annoying and the acting woeful.

This has elements of 24, lots of twists and a female version of Jack who breaks all the rules, has an obsessive disorder and plays solo. The war hero, Brody - is he for real? Has he turned? Who is playing who? Trust no one. As always, it portrays the American political and military system as morally bankrupt. Very addictive.

IT IS GREAT
