Homeland Season2: Blu Ray Review

Homeland Season2: Blu Ray Review


Rating: R13
Released by Universal Home Entertainment

After winning six Emmy awards, you would always wonder what they would do next for Brodie and Carrie.

This time around, Damian Lewis' Brodie is now a US Congressman and Claire Danes' Carrie is a former CIA agent who find their paths crossing once again, when a new terrorist threat emerges from the woodwork in the form of Abu Nazir.

Twists aplenty and betrayals and shocks may be the order of the day in this latest season of the mystery thriller, but it's fair to say that there's not quite the zing about the series this time around, when compared with the brilliance of the first.

Lewis and Danes give it their all and it builds to a suitably shocking conclusion over 12 episodes. It's a masterclass in acting at times, even if there are moments which defy credibility and belief. A third series is underway now though with the ending to the second, you're not quite sure exactly how they will carry it off.

Extras: Series 3 prequel, deleted scenes and some mini docos.
