Turned, Traitor and Homeland

Michael Cuesta may have directed a good plot line for a movie based on the Israeli stories of Prisoners of Wars.

However, there is much down-side.

Casting-wise I think they have a great line-up of stars from Claire Danes to Damien Lewis as Nicholas Brody the POW, Morena Baccarin and Mandy Patinkin.

However, they got drown in information overload especially the background to get the show going.

I do hope that Season 2 will be better edited and faster moving to get the excitement  onto the edge of our seats.

Damien acted well but I do have my misgivings of the Claire Danes-Carrie character as too over-dramatic for a bipolar character. Mandy was well paced and so was David Harewood as Estee, Head of the CIA.

Let us see whether Season 2 will be cast in a more solid mould.
