The real 'Homeland' vs. our 'Homeland' . . .

'Prisoners of War' first aired in Israel in 2010 and is in production for season three. Interesting article comparing the two....
----

The difference between the series can be summed up, superficially but accurately, by saying that “Prisoners of War” is about soldiers, while “Homeland” is about Claire Danes. The American show has focused on Ms. Danes’s high-wire performance as a troubled C.I.A. officer, and has emphasized detection and suspense over everyday events.

The Israeli show has political-thriller elements, but it’s really an ensemble drama in which the cloak-and-dagger side is secondary to a naturalistic study of the effects of torture, absence and return on ordinary men and their families.
