Logging

TV: Homeland, around episode 6 or 7

This show just isn't very good. Acting style is varied. Mandy Patinkin is in Tinker Tailor, the CIA boss is in 24, and Claire Danes...I have no idea what Claire Danes is doing. The spy genre might be the most difficult of all subgenres. The demands of tv and film structure are not suited to the core emotional element of spying - which is internal. Literature is better suited.
