I watched Homeland a few months ago and thought it was OK if only for the character Clair Danes plays. The show had a lot of implausible plot lines.
Recently I watched the Israeli original, Prisoners of War. It was so much better... Somewhere I read the comment that "Trauma Trumps Terrorism" and that pretty much encapsulates the difference between the two versions. The original had fully realized people, better dialogue, and no implausible situations. PoW explored the damage done to two human beings and the fallout that it creates. The really interesting thing about the American series and the Israeli is that the US version--which says a lot about our culture here in the US--was liberally (no pun intended) laced with sex and violence.
I don't think I'll be watching the new season of Homeland but I do plan on keeping an eye out for the second season of PoW.

Finally!! I watched it after buckling under peer pressure. Absolutely nothing original about this show. Finally dropped out due to boredom.

Not yet. Got it set to record his episode next Monday. Right now I've got the Green River Killer, Andrei Chikatilo, and a few others to watch. They're kind of shitty biographies, but I guess I'm sick of most everything else on TV.

Same... and the Investigation Discovery channel, same genre.

I liked Dark Matters on the Science channel.

Yo Bea!

Yeah I really like Dark Matters too.  All stranger-than-fiction stuff and great little history lessons to boot.  I'm waiting for the next season to begin.

Tarascon, looking young as ever.  I've been hooked on Misfits since the first episode, but I'm a sucker for anti-heroes.  Not too upset by the constant changing of characters, but last season needed more powers and less soap-opera.  And, that latest probation worker, he seems to be still alive.....

SACPOP, have I told you about Wilfred?  The aussie show about the talking dog?  It's pretty good, good enough for it to be picked-up in the US and Americanated.  BUT, in contrast to every other aussie show that gets the doodle-dandy-do-over, it is still just as good.

Which brings me to my favourite show at the moment, Legit.  It's like an aussie comedy but with american accents on everyone except the lead character.  Dead funny.

I've never watched Wilfred, which is odd because it usually precedes Louie or Legit which are two shows I watch religiously. My only problem with Legit is that I am too familiar with Jim Jefferies so I can see how neutered the show is in comparison to his standup comedy or his appearances on Opie and Anthony.
Still a good show, though.
