When Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody returns home following eight years in captivity, CIA agent Carrie Mathison thinks he has turned and is connected to a terror plot to be carried out on American soil, so she engages him in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that puts America's national security at risk. Later on, Carrie gets a promotion and returns to the front lines overseas. She is assigned to one of the CIA's most volatile and dangerous stations in the Middle East, where she is in the heart of battle in the war on terror. Years later, after being disillusioned and placing herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, Carrie becomes estranged from the CIA, eventually returning stateside where she works for a foundation providing aid to Muslims living in America.

Homeland is a great show. Full of action and suspense.

I purchased Season 1 and really got into the story. I do not get Showtime but I heard alot of people saying it was a good show. My husband and I take alot of road trips that are four to eight hours long so I purchased Season 2 so that while traveling in the car I can pass the time by watching shows and movies on my DVD player. I have enjoyed Season 2 and am looking forward to purchashing Season 3 at BestBuy when it is available.

This show is sooo good! I've never really paid much attention to Claire Danes since My so called life. But she can ACT! In S1 when she was off her medication & took a trip to crazy town.. that's when I knew. And Damien Lewis is good too. He does creepy really well. Good writing, great acting & very entertaining. You won't be disappointed.

Homeland is one of the most suspenseful shows on TV. It has a great cast of characters that you find yourself caring about. Claire Danes is wonderful in her role as Carrie Mathison, she is one of the most underrated actresses on TV. The best part of having the DVD set is not having to wait a week for the next showing.
