Show of the week: Homeland
As Season 2 of this award-winning series begins, CIA analyst Carrie Mathison is recuperating from electroconvulsive therapy for her bipolar disorder, and Nicholas Brody, the heroic Marine she believes to be a terrorist operative, is being tapped for a vice presidential run.

Claire Danes continues her brilliant portrayal of a woman risking her very sanity for her country, ably supported by Mandy Patinkin as her CIA mentor and Damian Lewis as Brody.
