The pilot is great. It's a fluid, dynamic first episode geared towards the Call of Duty generation. Lots of violence, Iraqi war sequences and inexplicably long sex scenes. In fact it was a touch too overboard for me; all of it kind of seemed to be put in the episode to disguise the fact that the show's protagonist is a complex female character.
The worst part of the pilot is Nicholas' wife played by some random new actress. You see, since her man went missing for 8 years home girl began sleeping with one of his friends. Now her husband's back from Iraq, she is torn. Good grief, I hope the producers get rid of this ridiculous Bold & Beautiful plot as soon as they can. The fact that I had to watch this woman get banged by two different men in just one hour was enough to hate her.
Homeland also stars Mandy Patinkin. Wonder how long he lasts on this show before he walks, like he did on Chicago Hope and Criminal Minds.

I agree. But the "random new actress" actually starred in Firefly and V. She isn't random :D
