I miss all my homeland friends

I’ve started rewatching from season 1 this week and I’m missing all you homelanders to keep me company like when we all watched together first time round. It’s just as good second time.

Is there anything as good as homeland out that can fill the void?

I didn’t realise how much I missed the mighty ferret until I saw him again. Poor Quinn.

I too miss the homeland threads. The Saul snacks and discussing Hair.

I was just searching for a homeland thread, started s8 on Netflix, loving it.

I remember not enjoying s8 when it first came out. Feeling sorry for Saul and his peace deal.

How is carrie allowed out with armed soldiers in full body armour in her bootcut trousers, boots and handbag, to break into a flat ???

Oh Carrie is a law unto herself. Bad trouser suit, cross body bag and a pair of ankle boots is all she needs to take on the worlds terrorists

Have just loved Succession. Only 2 seasons so far but it's as good as Homeland, just v different. Only The Wire and Breaking Bad were on the same level before. It's a shame Messiah was only one season with no more plans as that had real Homeland potential!

Cakecrumbsinmybra · 20/02/2021 19:29

And yes to Line of Duty

I started watching season 7 again last night because it popped up on Netflix. I can't remember how it ends so that's good!

HauntedPencil · 20/02/2021 19:31

Saul with his sad eyes and raspy voice. And his cute little boys anorak.

My DH has a habit of saying “Mr Barenson” in a Russian accent at least once per day, out of the blue.

He’s done it since season 1 the first time round so I think it’s stuck for life Shock

I might have to go in for a full re-watch

Jojojojo55 · 21/02/2021 22:55

Just finished season 8, loved it. Have been in a homeland bubble all weekend, now gone back to season 1. How young Carrie looks

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 21/02/2021 23:00

I’ve just finished season 3 😭😭😭

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 22/02/2021 23:18

Remember when those homeland gits tricked us in season 4 and we thought Brody was alive? 😭 I’m watch it now. That was so fucking cruel!

Season 4 was my favourite, so the best I ahead. I’m still arguing with DH about motives of Dar Adal being in Pakistan.

No more Dana drama awaits you either.

However, I wanted to recommend a couple of things that gave me similar thrills:

The Looming Tower (Amazon)
Condor (Sky/Now Tv)
Succession (Sky/NowTv)
Billions (Sky/NowTv)
Ingobernable (Netflix)
Manhunt (Netflix)
Godless (Netflix)

What season were the Beardy Joggers in?

I wasn't mad on the one where Brody was being held hostage, think that was my least favourite.

YardleyX · 23/02/2021 00:17

Designated Survivor is of a similar ilk to Homeland. I really enjoyed it.

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 23/02/2021 15:02

Earth angel has arrived 😍
