Cuz some ppl don't think it's as good anymore.
I remember ppl saying that this show should've ended after S1 and start all over with a different turned serviceman in S2. Said the same thing during S2, that it should just end here and move on to a whole new cast.
At this point the way things are going I feel they're wearing thin on writing material. The premise and whole concept was actually based off of something in the beginning, now they just winging it.
BB has nothing to do with this and shouldn't be mentioned. If anything, this isn't a Weeds situation this is like the decline of 24.
Showtime has a track record of making their shows drag on and suffer in quality.
if they had done every season with a soldier turned terrorist that would have been wack
I'm not saying that's what they should've done. I'm saying that's what ppl were saying they should do instead of continuing the story. This is what they were suggesting after doing a one and done with this story. I bring this up since you've either weren't around when ppl were saying that or forgot.
So again ppl calling for the end of Homeland isn't something new which was basically my point in bringing those things up.
they finally did essentially move on to a new cast, save a couple holdovers but they killed a portion of the cast in s2
That's not what those ppl were asking for so this example wouldn't have satisfied.
if anything the show is now based on what it was supposed to be on, espionage and international relations, not a love story or a family story
This show has never been a love story or a family story. Nor was it solely intended to be about espionage and international relations and that's coming from the showrunner and creator. These interviews are all out there. I think you're confining elements of this show in to a box like it can't be more than one thing. The very premise and entire concept of the series is based on a U.S. pow coming back home and is secretly a traitor to his country. Peep the source material a.k.a. the original series.
Brody coming back and having to deal with his family is simply apart of the package.
as far as showtime shows dragging, to that i say we dont judge amc by hell on wheels or low winter sun
Umm yeah, you're gonna have to accept ppl have differing opinions. That's all.
between this and shameless being their best, with maybe house of lies and ray donovan being entertaining if not top tier,
Showtime is known for this. They make their shows drag on, especially the ones that had high quality; Dexter, Weeds, U.S. of Tara, etc. Check ya Showtime on demand series section. Right now I'm hoping it doesn't happen to Shameless since that's it's best show with Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan not far behind.
AMC has a better track record than Showtime. Low Winter Sun was cancelled after one season and Hell On Wheels is better than a good deal of shows on Showtime. Mind you it's on it's 3rd season as well going strong.
id say showtime's record is better than most
Who is this most? Where does Showtime really rank if we judge by the past 5 years? HBO, AMC, FX, and ******* Cinemax have managed to step their game up immensely. Not to even bring up network channels. We stick to cable and there's only so many choices come Sunday nights so basically to say they're better than most means they're either #1 or #2. I can't agree with that at all.
but hey, lets complain just when theyre getting it right
I really wouldn't say Showtime is "getting it right" now with Homeland. The show has appeared to lose something it had the first 3 seasons but the season aint over yet so we shall see but I've seen more low lights than highlights so far.
