I had heard of this show a few times but knew nothing about it at all.
2 days ago, a friend on FB suggested that anyone who liked 24, should watch Homeland. I was a huge 24 fan, so I jumped all over it and watched the entire 13 episodes since yesterday afternoon.
I mistakingly assumed it would be a format similar to 24, with each season being a different scenario. For that reason, I was upset when I watched the finale (I thought things would turn out much differently) but still absolutely love this show!
I knew nothing of the cast, and at first thought Jess was Alyssa Milano. Wasn't disappointed to find out it wasn't her. She is incredibly easy on the eyes. I love a chick that can pull off short hair, and just wish she wore it like this in the show.
Love what I've seen so far, and am excited about the rest of this season, but honestly can't see it having much staying power for more than another season or 2. They can only drag on the current plot for so long. Hope I'm wrong.
