qirex posted:I'm not going to watch this but from the trailers it looks like they are couching the Yemen situation as one where a earnest white guy can Get the Bad Guys and Save the Day and that seriously makes me a little ill. This is bacsically homeland with a handsome white guy. Nothing wrong with it as a show. All these terrorist shows and movies do it

Open Source Idiom posted:I think Homeland is a little more complex than that, outside the Abu Nazir seasons. Complex yes, but it's always Murica vs the muslim world. This show is not much different in that regard. Saying that, i'm enjoying it. I loved the Ebola easter egg in the fist couple episodes. TC thumbprint.

It could have been US planes, i just rewatched the beginning it says 1983 and the US first dropped bombs in 1983. Also, that's when Safety Dance came out. edit: But the plane profile looks a lot like an Israeli C7 Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Sep 4, 2018 |

Phenotype posted:What's a better version of this show that I can jump on? Flaws and all, it really hit my 24 itch that I thought had been scratched for good, and I do wish there were more than 8 episodes. I fell off of Homeland around season 4, so I don't know that I'd want to try jumping back on. Deep State ? Mark Strong is the main guy.

Hasselblad posted:I don't know if it is the acting writing or directing, but I concur. Getting uber upset that a guy who told you his job was a boring job turning out to be a pseudo badass agent guy is kind of Get the Baltimore lie detector going on some terrorist.
