Agreed. I am really liking this show and I'm super happy its not going away anytime soon.

Timing the show's release with 10th anniversary of 9/11 probably helped. A couple of previews of Sunday's episode below

By its standards, Sunday's episode was average. The ending, in particular, did not impress. There are lots of subtle clues, but they need to ramp up the suspense.

Last night's episode was a bit meh too. It's either dying down compared to the initial few or the calm before the storm. It's halfway through the season, so they don't have much time to hang around.

Kind of reminds me of the pace of the latest season of Breaking Bad, really slow then it just hits the fan. Show is great and I am looking forward to the rest of the season!

It's much better than I expected. I'll admit that I didn't have high hopes for the show. After seeing the preview, I expected something similar to 24 which seemed good at first but ended up being less than enjoyable for me. I'm only on the second episode and so far, I'm loving it.

Yeah, after the Rubicon fiasco, I'm not getting involved in anymore of these conspiracy-type shows. Rubicon was so good, the final episode was excellent and they just axe it. Too many plot lines unanswered - just grinds my gears.

Although myself and my wife really did like the show, it ultimately wound up a causality of the cut TV programs we usually wind up having to choose when there is a full fall line up. Especially since I also like to play video games when possible, we just have other hour long drama shows we like more. Dexter, American Horror Story, Boardwalk Empire, and occasionally House as well. Then my wife loves Top Chef, Iron Chef and various other shows on Bravo like Project Runway (those are all usually my available weekday gaming nights). Add those shows to our already established 30 minute line up of shows (Southpark, Beavis & Butthead, Workaholics, Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and a few more), and there is just not enough time to watch all the shows we would want to watch.

Basically out of all of the shows, although Homeland was good, it was not quite good enough to commit. With that said, we very well may one weekend do a Netflix/On-Demand Marathon.

I recently watched the fifth episode and I just can't wait to see what happens next. In a way, I'm glad I didn't watch the show when it fist aired. Now I don't have to wait every week for a new episode.

Episode 9 was pretty good. Pretty good show overall, still has nothing on 24 though.

I was seriously hoping for a 24 type show but i've been watching it non the less. It's good, not great yet like Prison Break or 24 but definitely a good little watch. Don't got a wife to please so got TV all to myself.

The last episode was pretty good.

 It looks like Brody's mission is one of revenge. He grew attached to the child that died in the American attack on Nazir's compound. Walker, on the other hand, seems to be Nazir's true weapon. From what I can tell, they plan to assassinate a political figure. Perhaps even the soon-to-be president (the same man that was behind the attack that killed Nazir's son). I guess that means Walker and Brody are going after the same target.

I wasn't criticising it, I actually enjoy it. Just from the trailers at the beginning I expected it to be more like 24, same writer, counter terrorism etc.
