“Homeland”: Season Two off to Emmy-worthy start
With Emmy Award wins Sunday night for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actress (Claire Danes), Outstanding Lead Actor (Damian Lewis) and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff ), “Homeland” is getting its second season off to a great start.
In the series, Danes plays Carrie Mathison, an extremely skilled and intelligent CIA officer who ended the first season losing her battle with bi-polar disorder and being let go from the government agency.
Lewis portrays Nicholas Brody, a rescued U.S. soldier who was missing and presumed dead for several years – and someone Carrie believes may have been turned into an Al-Qaeda terrorist.
As the second season begins, Carrie is asked to assist the CIA with the one-time assignment of speaking with one of her former assets claiming to have information that she’ll only share with Carrie.
She is given this offer despite the fact she’s just getting back on her feet and into a peaceful mode after undergoing Electroconvulsive Therapy.
