In Reply to: RE: Homeland finale... posted by mkuller on December 16, 2013 at 08:32:00
'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.

What’s the worst mistake that Homeland has made? And conversely, what decision or moment are you most proud of?
I’m going to let the mistake one just go by. It’s sort hard not to feel defensive about criticism, and for me to wade into that… Look, the Brody family has been a bit of a third rail. I guess I would say the biggest mistake we made, possibly, was giving Dana another love interest in this season. But that said, I think without it, that scene in episode 9 when she and her father were reunited in that motel doorway may not have had as much power as it did.

They forgot why the audience comes to see such shows - there is, after all, the Lifetime TV chick flick alternative. Here people watch for a spy thriller sake.
