Homeland ....

Yeh I was great to see a satisfying yet bitter sweet end to the series
The dynamic between Carrie and Saul was excellent
I wasn't sure where they would go after Brody died but it went from strength to strength

Just noticed Billions is back so I'll be watching that this morning, it's one of my favourite series

Yeah, had a wobble in the middle, but this was a great season.

Probably in my top 10 single seasons all time.

Yep, I think maybe 3-5 we're below par, too much post-Brody soap opera but it then figured out the zeitgeist and was generally excellent. This series not as good but a nice and fitting ending.

Possibly one or two series too many but it was a very good drama

The only series I've ever seen, not sure if I watched from the beginning as I just happen upon stuff. I liked a lot, it though Saul's diction could be clearer. I struggle with the dialogue on a lot of US things in recent years.

BAN!

The Wire is a superb series.

Try these out, just a few that first came to mind.

Sopranos
Friday Night Lights
Deadwood
The Newsroom

A lot of Brandoesque mumbling these days, I can't be arsed with it. Sopranos was great but, as usual, went on too long.

First couple of series of Homeland were excellent imo. Lost interest thereafter.

saddo, I had initial problems with the wire but stuck with it and glad I did. Very good.

iS the full series 8 of Homeland on anywhere yet ?
