So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
Homeland is by far my favourite show on TV currently. It took a while to get into and is a definite slow burner. But once it got going I was hooked. It’s so exciting to watch and your forever trying to second guess or pre-empt the plot twists and reveals of characters actual motives.
It’s not surprising to know its also from the creators of 24. There are certain similarities between the shows even though Homeland is not confined to a “24 hour day”.
