TV on DVD: 'Homeland' and family faves

(These DVDs will be out Tuesday.)

Homeland

Series Viewers and critics alike were blown away by Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin in this Showtime thriller: Danes' brainy/bipolar CIA agent suspects Lewis' returned Iraq War POW hero of being "turned" into a terrorist. See why this smart adult hour is up for nine Emmys.

Extras Superb 35-minute documentary goes behind the scenes of creating "two damaged people who come together in a very profound and unexpected way," with articulate creators, actors. (Spoilers galore!)

List price $60 DVD/$70 Blu-ray, out from Fox.
