Before the role of Carrie Mathison in Showtime’s Homeland, Claire Danes played Angela in the 1994 series, My So-Called Life.  For those of you who don’t remember, it had quite a following (myself included), despite the fact that it lasted a mere 19 episodes.  Let’s go back in Fresh Air time to a 2005 interview with Claire Danes.

TV critic David Bianculli talks up some of the twists and turns presented recently in some of his favorite shows — including Dexter, Homeland and The Walking Dead.

TV critic David Bianculli says most shows on TV this fall are a big disappointment. But three offerings this upcoming Sunday night — Prohibition, Dexter and Homeland — are all excellent, invigorating and exceptionally intelligent.
