While it does go into their lives, it’s very careful to disparage them at every possible positive moment or for characteristics by citing democratic operatives’ twisted opinions.
It’s not really a documentary
This is long, I am frustrated and have been dealing with “support” groups from both companies.
The summary here is
I spent thousands of dollars on a 4k smart tv with apps and web access.
I have had the tv for seven years
Yesterday I signed up for Paramount+Showtime.
Today I found out that the app created is not supported by Samsung tv older than six years.
Paramount said -that Samsung doesn’t update software to be compatible. So there is no way to use it on the tv.
-I can go spend more money on some external device and connect it to the tv to download outside apps. -I can go buy a brand new tv.
Samsung said
-I can go spend more money on some external device and connect it to the tv to download outside apps.
A tv should be expected to last more than 5 years and Samsung knows that electronics evolve quickly and should make allowances to provide services. Not tell people to just buy another brand new tv from them. Paramount should know that they may have customers that can’t afford to throw TVs away and replace them constantly so if they want to have more customers they should have apps that have a wider range of compatibility.
All of this boils down to money. My spending it and rich companies doing whatever they can to make more.
I am disappointed in the response from both companies. I know that is meaningless to both because the end result is the same, it’s my problem and the only option I have is to decide if I want to resolve it, should I just cancel streaming service or choose to spend $100’s or $1,000’s.
Thanks for listening -I am so mad, buying expensive things just to throw them in the garbage makes me crazy. Electronics evolve quickly, there should be a better solution than throwing out a television and buying new ones constantly. It just seems so wasteful and unnecessary. I will be posting this on Samsungs page as well.
Feeling ko hindi talaga bagay doon si Tyang Amy dahil di na akma mga hirit nya sa mga kasama parang ang dating parang para sa trabaho lang at manonood lalo na si Ogie, nagmumukha syang tanga sa mga acts at jokes nya, bagay lang sya maging Professional Judge sa TNT since magaling OPM ICON na sya. Hindi na bagay si Ogie maging Komedyante! Even Bitoy kung maging masasapawan sya kaya di sya bagay doon. Spitting Facts lang po but that’s my opinio only.
I swear I'm getting sick of seeing this movie being shown just about EVERY SINGLE DAY on one of the showtime channels.
Have you seen this show on Showtime? I wish I didn't. There is a line between funny haha and just plain out rude and tasteless.
The show talks crap about every white woman. If a "white woman" talked 5 minutes like she does about blacks all kinds of hell would rain down on her.
Talks a lot of crap. She talks about voting for Biden. If she did her homework she would have found out he spoke about "blacks going to school with whites, comparing it to the jungles."
Ziwe has talent. She could have a real talk show that brings everyone together. A place in politics, which I'm afraid this show she would have to do some major PR work.
So I started watching Mr Robot and maybe after 30 seconds of watching the audio track changes by itself to Spanish(atleast i think its Spanish). I can get it back to English if i manually swap it to a different language and back to English, but it won't stay in English for more than about a minute.
I have only encountered this problem with Mr Robot. Anybody else having this problem?
I think they should. They have interesting use on Showtime and hope they don’t get removed soon.
Sarah Bolger (the actress who played Mary I/Bloody Mary) is 5 years away from being the age Mary I was when her reign started. I think they should start a continuation at Edward VI death, and go from there.
Where can I watch Spence vs Crawford replay?
Between the past and the present, the series has demonstrated a mysterious ability to stay one step ahead of the news.
For all his scrapes, personal losses, and absurdly urgent calls, Jack Bauer, the tough, tough-talking counterterrorism agent played by Kiefer Sutherland on Fox's 24, had a relatively quiet life compared to Carrie Mathison, the resilient , but almost always deeply wounded (and, not coincidentally, bipolar) CIA agent played by Claire Danes in Showtime's Homeland, which ends after an impressive succession of eight seasons.
Each in their own way, Jack and Carrie came to represent the pressing global crises of their times. 24 premiered weeks after the September 2001 terrorist attacks and the drumbeat of war, at a moment that could be considered shockingly inappropriate (the first episode opened with a woman installing a bomb inside a plane) or too targeted solely at the United States. American viewers found they could project many of their anxieties about national security onto the series, which acted as an adrenaline rush, expressed in increasingly twisted (and less plausible) twists.
In its eighth and final season, ‘Homeland’ focuses on the two main characters.
It was harder to find this catharsis in Homeland, but it made the series much better and more relevant. The defeats suffered by its characters (particularly Claire Danes as Carrie and Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson, Carrie's intelligence consultant and mentor) made Homeland more believable as the 21st century's real-life war on terror dragged on and on.
The bully look of Jack Bauer and his fictional Counterterrorism Unit portrayed in the 9/11 era gave way, in Homeland, to a beleaguered and politically paralyzed CIA, seen through the distortions of an agent's justifiable paranoia.
Carrie Mathison's story should not be interpreted as a sequel to Jack Bauer's trajectory (although both series had the same executive producer, Howard Gordon). Still, from the first season of Homeland it was very clear that Carrie would advance into much more complex and dark territory than that left by Jack - a time that goes roughly back to the American military operation that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in May 2011 until President Donald Trump's impeachment hearings in 2019, an era in which the intelligence sector was first praised, then vilified, and finally punished with dismissal by the White House.
Homeland's prescience anticipated many cases of dishonest conduct by intelligence officials, who are always plagued by executive ineptitude, which the series treated as a chronic condition of successive presidents.
Co-created and meticulously overseen by executive producer and writer Alex Gansa (and adapted from an Israeli TV series), Homeland began as a riveting thriller about the trustworthiness of a Marine recently rescued from prisoner of war status, Sergeant Nicholas Brody. (Damian Lewis).
While the country celebrated Brody as a war hero, Carrie worked to find out if he had converted to Islamic terrorism. Seven seasons later, Homeland had another script: Carrie, >!who had spent months in a Russian prison, without access to her psychiatric medications, was now distrusted by her colleagues for a whole series of reasons, including the possibility that she was a Russian spy.!<
Between past and present, Homeland has demonstrated an uncanny knack for staying one step ahead of the news. The plot was obsessed with online Russian propaganda and far-right mayhem at the same time the country was beginning to see (and ignore) the strings tied to various puppets.
Now, in the final season, Homeland focuses on the long-awaited >!peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban. The American president (Beau Bridges) traveled to Afghanistan to seal the deal, but was killed when his military helicopter crashed - an event designed to look like the Taliban had shot down the aircraft.!<
!Defying her CIA supervisors, in the last few episodes!< Carrie >!did everything she could to find (and then lose) the helicopter's black box, which could prove that the crash was an accident. We're once again where Homeland has always thrived: a world on the brink, with tensions rising between the United States and Pakistan and too many men determined not to listen to a woman they all think isn't right in the head.!< A recap of the entire Homeland story arc could simply say, “Despite everything, she moved on.”
Like many early fans, I tried to be one of those viewers who gave up on 'Homeland,' but I never succeeded. I admired rather than criticized the series' twists and turns (you can't say “crazy”, given its commitment to portraying Carrie's mental illness). Homeland was an unusual study in the art of the mid-season course correction, inventing surprising and provocative solutions to the narrative alleys it had run into. Chief among them was Carrie's decision in season seven >!to relinquish custody of her daughter — the only TV mom I can think of whose solution to the work-life balance dilemma was to stop being a mom.!< It was a painful and powerful commentary on the chaotic state of the world, hers and ours.
When it comes to series that are so relevant, the best ones always leave one question: who or what will take their place?
(Homeland even touched on this subject.)
(HOMELAND, UNFORTUNATELY, >!KILLED!< ITS MOST PROMISING SPIN-OFF POTENTIAL: >!MAX PIOTROWSKI, CARRIE'S LOYAL COMPUTER TECHNICIAN,!< AN INCREASINGLY HARDENED AND DEDICATED SOUL, PLAYED BY >!MAURY STERLING!<).
None of the above, I imagine. Like the world itself, the mission is now more open and dangerous than ever. The character who gets the task is doomed to be tortured, literally and figuratively.
PS: With >!Max's death!<... It could have been >!Dana Brody!<, if the writers had made her character the same as the performer from the Israeli TV series "Prisoners of War". It would be similar to the British show Our Girl (TV series 2013–2020).
With this character it would be certain to serve in the E.O.D. (U.S.N.) in the 3rd season and after joining A.F.O.S.I. in the 5th season and later serving in the D.C.S./D.I.A. in the 8th season.

Does anyone have an info or updates on Maria's family? I am curious to know now her kids are doing these days. I couldn't find much on her daughter Nicole "little" either
It’s a showtime series that I swear- it didn’t get any recognition, it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen though. Js gonna say a bit abt it real quick, but Happy has a mystical fiction aspect, adds in the unreal in life and makes that element pretty fun. Overall makes the show different and interesting, it’s just so silly
I’ve been watching Fellow Travelers via-on demand through my cable. I started episode 6 yesterday and wanted to continue it today, but it’s no longer available On Demand. Yet, episodes 7 and 8 are available, as well as earlier episodes. The information about the series says it will be available On Demand until April, so I don’t understand why this one episode was removed and is now only available on Paramount Plus with Showtime. Is this a glitch or did they really just take one episode off?
I haven’t even thought about watching showtime since they stopped providing service. Too many other easy ways to enjoy content with my CABLE SUBSCRIPTION. I’m back to re-iterate how dumb of a decision this was. If anyone at Showtime reads this. I just want you to know that ya’ll are dumb af for this and it will be the downfall of your company if you don’t do something about it. Give streamers who pay for your content access to what they pay for. I will cut showtime from my cable plan if I have to! I’m not sitting around all day to wait for a good show to come on. At least fully integrate on demand.
Hi. I just wanted to watch Three women but no version of episode 1x1 contains captions :< Anyone did find english subs for this?
