Homeland

I wanted to write about something that I've watched and loved in the media. One TV drama I've been completely hooked on since series 2 started is Homeland. It follows a CIA officer, Carrie and a US soldier, Brody, who went missing for nine years in Afghanistan, presumed dead. However his return lead to Carries assumption that while he was prisoner in Afghanistan, he was converted into a terrorist, and has returned to plot against the USA in secret. Her assumption was proven true in series 2, and once again, I am hooked.
What I love about homeland is the fact that every episode never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The story lines are always so raw and so unique, and what happens never fails to surprise me. In the last episode I watched on Sunday, series 2 episode 8, we see Brody becoming more and more fragile, and sick of the lies he has to keep telling to everyone. He has shifted sides so many times I am surprised he can keep up with his own life. However, we see Carrie taking a hold of him, and trying to help him get back on track to help the CIA. By the end of the episode, Brody is kidnapped and taken into a helicopter to an unknown location. The ending for me felt like a new side to the story, and has made me anticipate more what might happen next.
The show has officially announced a third series, but what worries me is if they'll be able to hold another brilliant series, or whether they'll run out of things to write. Frankly however, I cannot wait. For me, it's the best program on TV at the moment.
