    If you like [I]Homeland[/I] then you might like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_Cell_(TV_series)"][I]Sleeper Cell[/I][/URL] too. It was very tense.

    I'll say: worst episode of the entire series, including all the Irish episodes - what an awful end to what has been a decent S4.

    I'm undecided. Torn between disappointed and pleased. Had some good moments.

    What did you consider good moments? Can we still do spoiler brackets on here? If so, chuck the good points in there.

    Totally agree. Though I haven't overly enjoyed this season. Such a boring final episode.

    In that case, ignore what I just said .....<br />
    <br />
    Toddy, I've actually thought this series was a return to form, bar the little bit stupid Juice's dad is black storyline - which I thought was good that they focused on him but didn't give him a decent story. But that last ep was just meh - I wonder how it would have ended if Sutter wasn't given an extra hour?

    I'll mention one that isn't a spoiler.<br />
    <br />
    I liked the line that Eli used with Juice about "You're a crim, I'm a cop, I want to get back to that"<br />
    <br />
    Thought Link had some good moments too.<br />
    <br />
    Sutter could have stopped at 13 and then the first ep of series 5 would have been less dramatic. I actually think that after building so much tension 14 was a rush through clean up of the storyline that could have been handled better if spread over 2 eps.<br />
    <br />
    But hey, I still think we are being a bit fussy. I really enjoyed the series overall and it is still one of the best shows around.

    Agree, fucking terrible. Stupid "deus ex machina" contrivances put there purely to extend the plot line. I won't bother with next season.

    Spoilers abound in the link above. It is an in-depth interview with Sutter about the end of 4 and where things may be heading.

    I think Sutter needs to sit down and watch his bloody show and see if it's all 'organic' or not.<br />
    <br />
    SOA is one of my favourite shows and I'll keep watching but he seems to be completely out of step with the fans - although it has been rating well so maybe he's not.<br />
    <br />
    Tim: There were contrivances on top of contrivances. I fear that SOA will be a show I'll keep watching even though I don't like it anymore just because it was once brilliant and I've invested so much time in it - like How I Met Your Mother which used to be the best thing on the box and now that it is nearly complete twaddle it is getting the best ratings it has ever had, bloody yanks!

    Funny how he thought that the main 'contrivance' was one the fans would have spotted way back, which can explain why it came across so weak. Maybe if he had been a little more obvious and given the viewers the same insight earlier on it would have worked better rather than it being a Bobby Ewing moment.

    Hey Rusty (my usual question) are there any new shows worth watching? I'm thinking more of dramas this time round - Homeland is the only new one I've started and I think it's bloody good.

    Homeland is the only new (good) show I am watching too. The few other new shows I am watching are all nothing to write home about. I have heard some good things about the new Kelsey Grammer show, Boss, but I don't subscribe to the channel it is on in the US. It really was a forgettable year for new TV. I am most looking forward to the new season of Justified that starts in January now that SOA is finished (same channel/time slot). Also Southland is back in January as well.

    [I]Boss [/I]is entertaining but rather far fetched. Production values are good, as is Grammer. He hams it up in high style.<br />
    <br />
    Worth a look.

    they started Justified at 2130 on TV1 over here, was on for 3 weeks, stopped for a couple of weeks and then started up again at 2300 on another night...fortunately, MySky picked it up and continued the series link for me! <br />
    <br />
    Think I might need to source it another way :whistle:

    The first season was great - definitely the best new series I started watching last year. It really shows the influence of Elmore Leonard with the writing - the characters and their dialogue are great. Depending how long it takes TV1 to play the second series, I may have to try an alternative source too.

    Got Mrs C started on Homeland last night and I was happy to start watching from the beginning again.<br />
    <br />
    What an eye-opener that was. If you have the time and are up to date, go back and start watching again. You'll have a different perspective, especially on any character suspicions you have.
