I don't have a problem with the congressman part, even with him living in the same house. I do find the jump to VP candidate pretty shocking, also don't the VP candidates get vetted when the campaign for the nomination is in full swing?
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.

It's Showtime, so have no fear, they will drag it on as long as possible. Showtime let Weeds and Dexter drag on when both should have been 3-5 seasons.

Disagree completely. She looks MUCH better with dark hair. That blond hair does not flatter her at all.

Who knows where they take the plot and what turns they take to get there. I predict Brody (why does his wife call him by his last name? It sounds bizarre) will become VP next season and that season will be about an assassination attempt on that President which will be successful in the season finale. Then the fourth season will be about what happens when Brody is President.
I'm only on episode 4, but, man, is Jessica a bitch or what? He's been back a total of, what, 2 months at this point, after being tortured in a Middle-Eastern dungeon for eight freakin' years, and you're upset he can't #### you, and use that as one of the reasons to threaten to divorce the man?! You'd think she'd have gotten her fill of that from his best friend while he was away and could hold out a little while longer.

Ho Lee ####! Can't believe they went there in episode 2! The writers of this show must write standing up, otherwise they'd sit on their colossal balls.
What an ending! Seems like something they would leave for a season cliffhanger, but no it is the episode 2 cliffhanger!
This season is going to be gooooooood.
Also, the whole sequence of Carrie on the run getting those documents was shot really well with no music (which made it even better).
This show deserves all the praise it gets, its a shame almost no one knows about it that I talk to, because in my opinion it is THE best show on television now (even better than Game of Thrones).

No one really knew about Breaking Bad and Mad Men until recently either. These shows seem to need 3-4 seasons to really build a big audience.
As for best show on TV, it's certainly in the discussion no doubt.
I like the show but there are definitely some things that stretch into the unbelievable.
Doesn't anybody find it a little bit unbelievable that Abu Nazir would have the combination to the private office safe of David Estes, the Director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center?
So uhhh the Flames got a shout out. That was pretty cool.
Regarding the cliffhanger ending of the last episode; so that puts eyes back on Brody and gives Claire more respect, but is that video enough to arrest Brody or is that essentially circumstantial evidence?
Kind of like when the FBI knows Tony Soprano is a mob boss but doesn't have any hard evidence against him.
Really excited to see how it picks up this Sunday.
I have a feeling the video will not be the smoking gun, it will only raise suspicion of Brody and won't be enough to validate Carrie and get her reinstated. The Calgary Flames shout out was cool.
