I read an brief summary of the episode online beforehand and it didn't sound all that interesting to me, but the show really managed to capture my attention and keep it. Meaning I now have yet another show I want to catch up with (and I am behind on my shows as it is!).
The Q/A afterwards with Damian Lewis and David Harewood was good too. A bit long and I just hate people who ask a question by first rambling on forever about themselves (not even related to the question) but Damian was funny and they provided some interesting tid bits about the show without spoiling it for those audience members (read: me) who haven't downloaded the whole first series yet.
8/10
Thanks Valda for the great company!

I watched the first 3 episodes of Homeland and stopped. It was perfectly good but when there's just other stuff I'd prefer to watch and it didn't completely grip me. I'd still say give it a go.

Got the same feeling too. I don't even think I finished episode 3 but I have been loving with Suits on Dave.

hello all.
i just wanted to mention a home improvement programe that was on last year. The renovation game, its daytime tv on channel 4.
The concept is that they spend £3k on your house but have to make the house price increase by £15k or the team do not get pa*d. They have just started makeing their new series and they have just completed my house - omg its lovely. cant tell u the result, anyway i mention it as they are looking for more homes so if you are interested email to this address
renovationgame@presentable.com. they will email back with a form to fill in.

Johnny Lee Miller has been cast as Holmes in the US remake of Sherlock Holmes "Elementary". Awkward considering he and Cumberbatch alternated the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his Creature at the National Theatre last year. Will they be alternating their roles as US and UK Sherlock too?
