Homeland was amazing last night. Loved every minute. Best show on TV.

I cant believe Ten have not been able to build an audience for Homeland.Agree with Daniel.

Ten must be disappointed with Homeland’s numbers. I expect there’s some downloading going on, but that’s part of the climate now. It’s hard to see how they’re going to make a go of it, even with the extra $200m from the investors. The more they deny that there’s no market for a third FTA commercial network, the more likely a duopoly seems. If Wake Up flops, it’s hard to see a face-saving way back for the current Ten management.

Channel Ten and One. What a brand. Re-runs of Mash – Get Smart and so on and now in a kinda Freudian parallel universe they are launching WAKE UP!
That’s going to be the Investors theme song they will sing at the AGM.

@Client: Homeland was dead on arrival in Australia when TV Tonight reported that The Simpsons had done a parody of it called Homerland. The Simpsons is poison and anything connected to it is doomed to failure.

If there is some positivity that Ten can take out of this, it is that Eleven seems to be going ok against the other minor channels. Is this because of Neighbours?

Homeland is rubbish.

In the US, Homeland is Showtime’s number one show and its audience has grown in each of its three seasons. You often find that shows with intelligent, great writing like Homeland, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men etc normally don’t find a big enough audience on Free TV in Australia. I suspect Homeland may eventually go to Pay TV. I;lll then just buy the DVD seasons on Amazon like I did with those other shows.
