One of the shows that I'e really been looking forward to is "Homeland" on Showtime. My first reaction is that Claire Danes kind of feels miscast. Part of me feels like they almost should have swapped out Morena Baccarin and Claire Danes. I get that Danes's character is supposed to be a bit unhinged but I just never bought her in the role. I think the role needed someone being crazy but not so manic. Honestly, after this episode I'm not so bent out of shape about not having Showtime. I wasn't bad but it was disappointing and I'm happy to just wait for the DVD of season 1 instead of investing an hour each week.
