Blu-ray Review: Homeland - The Complete Second Season

Showtime's Emmy Award winning drama Homeland arrives on blu-ray this week with the release of the complete second season.

Season Two of this brilliant show was a bit shakier than the amazing season one.  It had a few missteps at the start (not including the incredible premiere) but by midpoint through the end, it was nail-bittingly awesome.

If you missed the season on Showtime, this blu-ray set is a great way to catch up before the premiere this weekend.  The show looks gorgeous on Blu-ray and it has some nice features to boot including some deleted seasons and featurettes.

Claire Danes is really worth the price of admission alone.  She's simply astonishing in this show and her chemistry with both Lewis and Patinkin (who is also amazing) is perfection.

Homeland returns on September 29 so you have a few days to plow through the 12 episodes contained in this set.  Plenty of time!

Homeland: The Complete Second Season is available now!
