Lebanese government officials are considering taking legal action against the makers of Homeland over the hit TV show's portrayal of Beirut. The drama stars Claire Danes as a CIA operative and a recent episode showed her character dodging bullets and fleeing from bad guys in Lebanon's capital city. The scenes, which were actually filmed in Israel, have angered officials in Lebanon, who claim Beirut has been portrayed in an unfairly negative light which could affect tourism. Tourism Minister Fady Abboud says he's consulting lawyers over the show. The show was recently crowned Best Drama Series at this year's Emmy Awards. Photo: Homeland actors (Getty Images) |
