Reasons We Loved Watching TV in 20125 of 14
Who doesn't love a good rubbernecking session? That's what "Homeland (2011)" viewers have in the show's conflicted congressman/secret terrorist Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) and his obsessive, destructive relationship with damaged CIA operative Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). In the wide and well-populated realm of ill-matched television characters, Carrie and Brody present a new level of dysfunction to the viewer: Danes and Lewis emanate an amazing electricity when they're together, and their love scenes are filled with yearning, even solace. But while there are Brody-Carrie 'shippers out there (we won't question, everybody has to believe in something) this is not a love affair that is destined to end well. In fact, it might actually be contrived as a means to an end for Brody -- although, to be fair, he did kill someone to save her life.
Developments like this make us want to see this bad romance play out. Ah, "Homeland" -- you may have tested our loyalty this season, but thanks to these two, we're not breaking up with you any time soon.
