Entertainment Weekly just revealed that Tony winner Victoria Clark is set to play a "pivotal role" on Showtime's HOMELAND this season. SPOILERS BELOW! Stop reading now if you want to keep Clark's part a surprise.
The brilliance of the first season of HOMELAND lay in the fact that complicated people were making complicated decisions. We weren't presented with a black-and-white world where the good guys always wore red, white, and blue. Instead, we saw people wrestling with the same geo-political issues that our nation was dealing with at the time. It was confusing, it was dirty, it was dangerous, but it was captivating and unique. Since that first season, the show has devolved into one that no longer wrestles with big issues, it instead has been driven by the same thing that drives 95% of every other show on television; love.
