The Guy's Telly Highlights

I was sat in front of my TV today eating cold chill con carnie, drinking tea in my pj's watching the latest import from the USA,

Homeland (2011)
starring Clare Danes & Damian Lewis

Intimidating Much? Lewis and Danes (above)

From episode one, i was hooked, even continuing the showtime channels tradition of constant sex, f-words and violence (see Dexter and Calafornacation) it's still manages to be well scripted and gripping in each episode, earning the show 2 well deserved Golden Globes

the intriguing and suspenseful story, in a nutshell is centered around Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (played by Brit Damian Lewis), who returns home eight years after going missing in Iraq and Carrie Mathison (played by Clare Danes), a driven (and possibly unstable) CIA officer who suspects he might be plotting an attack on America.

Absolutely brilliant stuff from the US, a original story line (not like CBS's version of Sherlock that's coming) and a handful of believable actors and actress, makes this a great, entertaining bit of telly, just don't watch it with your grandma. (advice: set the sky+ box or kick her out)
