"The truth was uncovered, but not everything was revealed," the first trailer for Homeland Season 2 announces. Though the trailer doesn't feature any new footage, it's still a gripping walk down Memory Lane.
When the Showtime series left off, CIA agent Carrie Matheson (Claire Danes) made a connection between Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) and Abu Nazir — just as she was about to undergo shock therapy for bipolar disorder, a treatment that erases short-term memory. When she wakes up, will she remember? In the meantime, will the tape outlining Brody's plan to assassinate the Vice President ever surface?

Damian Lewis
An encounter with Homeland star Damian Lewis may rattle the nerves of many a fan, but it was Lewis who had to keep his composure when he met one of the show's most unabashed admirers: President Barack Obama.
"It was a sensational, unforgettable evening," Lewis tells TV Guide Magazine of his recent visit to the White House. The British actor was invited to attend a state dinner honoring England's Prime Minister David Cameron on March 14 and was surprised to get some quality face time with the president, who made headlines when ...

Dexter
They really went there. Showtime's signature thrillers Homeland and Dexter each flipped the metaphorical switch — in Homeland's case, literally; with Dexter, breaking down a wall we'd been waiting to happen for some time — in pivotal finales that leave a big void on Sundays.
Saving the best for last, let's start with Dexter. The finale was 95 percent routine, a charge that could be aimed at the season as a whole, capped by the uninspired end of the ...

1. HOMELAND
The best new series of the year is Showtime's twisty nail-biter of a psychological thriller, an emotionally intense cat-and-mouse game between two damaged souls: Damian Lewis as Nicholas Brody, a Marine POW who may have been turned by terrorists during eight years in Iraqi captivity, and Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, the unstable CIA analyst who breaks all the rules to get under his skin — and at times under the sheets. (Bringing new meaning to undercover agent). The actors are as electrifying as the storytelling in this taut tale of homeland insecurity, which also features a marvelously restrained Mandy Patinkin as Carrie's melancholy mentor and a revelatory Morena Baccarin as Brody's understandably conflicted wife. Homeland comes from the veteran producers of 24, who have lost none of their knack for sustained suspense, but within this more realistic framework have been able to concoct a thoughtful and gripping meditation on the human toll of the war on terror.

Patrick J. Adams, Claire Danes
Is USA slowly becoming an awards magnet? A year after Covert Affairs' Piper Perabo scored a Golden Globe nomination, network-mate and Suits star Patrick J. Adams pulled off a Screen Actors Guild nod Wednesday, where he'll face off against such heavyweights as Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Michael C. Hall (Dexter). But his nomination wasn't the only SAG shocker.
