VIDEO: Watch a 4-Minute Preview of the New Claire Danes Series 'Homeland' on Showtime

If Showtime's recent greenlighting of the psychological CIA drama "Homeland" had you excited, then today is your lucky day: a nearly four-minute preview clip from the show has been released.

The clips gives us a quick introduction to Claire Danes as CIA agent Carrie Anderson, who has doubts about the recovery of U.S. POW Scott Brody (played by Damian Lewis, tangled beard and all).

From the looks of the clip, "Homeland" will focus more on the conspiracy-theory side of things, at least at the beginning. It could be that as the season goes on, things could get a little more bang-bang-explosion-y, like "24" often did. Of course, there was always plenty of information-gathering on "24" before the gunfire started as well.

In any case, it looks like terrorism is going to play a large role in the series, but with a post-9/11 show about the CIA, what else would you expect the subject matter to be? It looks like "Homeland" should be a good one, much along the lines of "24" but maybe with a little more mystery and less action.

Check out the clip and see for yourself:
