YES. okay? yes. yes. it's so good. and this is the best time to watch it because, i promise you, you will NOT be able to do just one episode at a time (i mean, barring baby duties). so you can gorge.

I'll qualify my answer by saying that season 1 is awesome and addicting, but I was really disappointed in season 2. It became way too difficult to suspend disbelief over some of the ridiculous situations. But I will watch season 3 when it starts or at least attempt to.
For those Homeland fans, check out Prisoners of War on Hulu. (Hulu Plus?) It's from the same writer as Homeland so it is has a very similar plot but deviates enough so you can definitely watch both. It focuses more on character development rather than action. It is truly an excellent series--probably my all-time favorite.
