Hi! Welcome to this episode where I talk about my favorite American TV show - Homeland.This is the first episode with a written script - hopefully it sounds more polished and finally I can get hold of the time. Homeland follows its iconic female lead Carrie Mathison's CIA (or independant) career. Starting as a US version of Isreal's hit show 'Prisoner of War', Homeland reinvents itself after season three, which sees it expanding the stories and settings. It is an excellent show in that it reflects and comments on the current affairs. The characters are captivating and the performances are ace.I talk through the story, compare the first seasons and the later ones, share my story as a long-time Claire Danes fan, my West End experience to see the Damian Lewis play, and my Homeland-themed Berlin visit.In the end, I also introduce some of the advices given by Lesli Linka Glatter, the amazing executive producer and director of Homeland (and Mad Men & Twin Peaks among others!). I found the advices helpful and inspiring.Hope Homeland can have won a few nods from Emmys this season, but no matter what, it is one of the best shows, and will always be that special show for me.
