The Politics of 'Homeland'
NYT Magazine piece coming Sunday just posted, a Q & A with the two men behind Homeland, as season opens. Touches inspirations--from movie thrillers to my man Graham Greene--but also a lot on the politics of their former show 24 vs. the current show. "The thing on '24,' it was a divergent group of political beliefs, but I
don’t think that affected the story. Occasionally, maybe. But we all
recognized that storytelling is agnostic. Once you start dressing it up
as a platform for some kind of ideology or point of view, it becomes
propaganda, and I think the audience can smell when it’s counterfeit
like that."
