1. Homeland has already won several top awards - including a deserved best actress Golden Globe for the awesome Claire Danes - so TV3 is fast-tracking it onto screens here. In fact, you can already watch the first episode online ahead of its February 13 network debut. Check out the acclaimed drama, about an American Marine who is held prisoner for eight years in Iraq before returning to suburban life and being accused of being a terrorist, right here. (TV3)
