I sincerely hope this doesn’t turn out like The Killing where there’s a great pilot, and then it’s the most frustrating thing on television. However, how long can this show last under this sort of premise? Will there be seven seasons of a game of cat and mouse? Perhaps I should see more than just the pilot to get a better grasp of how things might turn out.

ReplyCopy URLThis is the best pilot of the year and one of the very best of the past 10 years. Really. It`s just incredible. The directing and editing are amazing, and the cast is great (and Danes has a tape few actress ever have a chance to get).
It`s such a riveting and intriguing episode, cant wait to watch more of this show.
ReplyCopy URLWow…the reviews coming in are insane…high marks all across the board and the acting is getting major praise. Claire Danes looks like a clear contender for Actress at this point. And it appears to be in the race for several other major awards as well – Series, Directing, Writing, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress.
Why isn’t there more buzz on this?
And WTF is going on here in Canada…I can’t even find a broadcaster that will be airing what seems to be the best reviewed new show of the year?!?!? Help!
ReplyCopy URLIt was a great pilot. Acting top notch and by god the writing was great. This was one of the few time I’ve seen a cable show without noticing that it had no act breaks. Usually without them the story feels like it’s going nowhere but this is different.
Psycollogical thrillers (eg: damages) always work better with emmy voters than full all out thrillers. But could this be 24 all over again? A highly rated thriller who gains respect in the comunity for years and then finally wins in its 5th bid, hence beating competition like The West Wing, The Sopranos and Grey’s Anatomy?
My only concern is that if Homeland wins The Good Wife will have to wait another year. Maybe Homeland could win the Golden Globe and TGW the emmy. That would seem fair. I’m saying this because I feel emmy voters will think three times before voting for mad men next year. Four times is a lot. A milestone only 4 shows have ever reached.
ReplyCopy URLI don’t think I have ever liked a pilot more than I loved this one. Claire Danes’ character may be one of the great creations of the 21st century. She’s a pill-popping CIA operative that enjoys picking guys up at bars, planting cameras in people’s homes, seducing her superiors, turning meetings in to interrogations, and saying “Fuck this shit!” She’s the greatest character I’ve ever seen, and Claire Danes is bringing it.
