Homeland isn't a US series idea, it's based on an Israeli series called "Prisoners of War", which has been showing recenlty as well.

I know. I don't really like Prisoners of war though, I think Homeland is far better.

Started watching Breaking bad. I think its my new favourite programme

Great news about 'The Daily Show' Just in time for the obscenity of the US elections, too.

Watched the new Sorkin drama, Newsroom, last night. Recommended. I thought the first episode was brilliant. Looks like it'll be similar in style i.e. The West Wing in a newsroom. Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer heading it up.

Oh bugger! I wanted to see that, when was it on? I only saw the 'coming soon' ad last night on Atlantic so thought it would be a week or 2 away

Ah, excellent, I thought you'd watched it on TV over here. Thought it must've been a while away as no date was on the advert.

The show does look very good.

Not that strange. John Oliver is far better.
