The airing of Homeland, the show that in spite of its awards ( largely chauvinistic) has all the earmarks of having been written by computer analysis and directed by committee, is just another example of the panic rush to grab ratings.
This mad scramble for viewers is the main contributor and major cause of all the problems with bad television production in our age.
Cater for blanket mass appeal and you not only lose all quality input, you remove the very reason for its existence. Sooner or later you have varying levels of mediocrity on all network stages, with SBS and ABC picking up the staggering hungry deserters.
