Review of Marine One

Homeland: Marine One (2011)
Season 1, Episode 12
2/10
What a disappointment
30 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The great weakness of series that run to multiple seasons is that, generally speaking, satisfactory resolutions are impossible. Here we had tension as the pieces came together. We should have had either an explosion or a public revelation. Instead we have the ridiculous cop-out of the daughter's pathetic conversation "talking down" the protagonist. Thus we move on to a second season with the same characters and the same b.s. I won't be attending and feel thoroughly ripped off. Give me MI-5 any day. With major characters falling like stars you never know how a scene will play out. That series always had nail biting suspense. Homeland, after a very promising start, turned out to be run of the mill, generic and ordinary. I'm thoroughly p*ssed at allowing this program to hook me and then waste 12 hours of my life.
