Has anyone seen "Homeland" on Showtime? I don't get that channel and I'm curious as all get-out about this show, as the main character (played by Claire Danes) is bipolar. Her illness is discussed frequently and is woven into the story line like anyone else's 'non-conformity'. I've heard it's a pretty realistic portrayal of BP, although I don't know how any TV show can illustrate it well because we all experience it so differently. But I'm still curious.
