When Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody returns home following eight years in captivity, CIA agent Carrie Mathison thinks he has turned and is connected to a terror plot to be carried out on American soil, so she engages him in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that puts America's national security at risk. Later on, Carrie gets a promotion and returns to the front lines overseas. She is assigned to one of the CIA's most volatile and dangerous stations in the Middle East, where she is in the heart of battle in the war on terror. Years later, after being disillusioned and placing herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, Carrie becomes estranged from the CIA, eventually returning stateside where she works for a foundation providing aid to Muslims living in America.

Homeland is no longer the irrelevance it threatened to become. It ended well. Go to Full Review

After a number of consecutively excellent episodes, we're prepared to say it: Those of you gave up on Homeland last season should come back into the fold Go to Full Review
Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker 12/08/2014
The show has returned to its roots as an espionage thriller, in part by taking an unsentimental view of its heroine's worst behavior. Go to Full Review
Jake Kring-Schreifels Esquire Magazine 10/22/2018
The show had taken on the characteristics of the jazz filtering through the opening credits and Carrie's workout ear buds. It was loud and improvisational. More importantly, it had given Carrie back the attractive quality of competence. Go to Full Review
Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 07/24/2018
It suffers too much from echoes of stuff you've seen before, from Secret State to Edge of Darkness, while the fancy on-screen overlays of computer data are too brazenly post-Sherlock for comfort. Go to Full Review
Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News 02/03/2015
Homeland may never have the zeitgeist it once had, but it certainly has regained its footing with an exciting spy thriller. Go to Full Review

pf c @Pcowle Feb 23 Still pretty good but getting a bit sloppy. The F15 pilot who confronts Carrie is not wearing wings on his uniform. That is not credible in the AF world. They also have marines wearing hats indoors. Sloppy and not credible. About 6.5% of the US population has served in the military and would have noticed the lack of attention to detail. Carries character is getting a bit tedious. I hope it gets better. See more Betty B @Betty1977 Jan 17 I mostly enjoyed the first 3 seasons, apart from the Dana storyline. In season 4 Carrie becomes unbearable. Its not that she was an easy person before but the selfishness, cold-hearted detachment, being so ungrateful and just plain rude to colleagues who stood by her through tick and thin, just too much. Not remotely believable that with her condition and mental instability she would get promoted to the riskiest posts. Storyline is very flat in season 4...I think I'll just stop wasting my time on this... See more Lars S @Lars22 Nov 30 Good up to now. We are told early on seasons ago that mental illness disqualifies cia employment.Then a pregnant emotional bipolar woman with history of going off meds is offered a job and promotion in one of the most unstable parts of the world with no one to rein her in..yeah right. See more Amir @Movieexpert12 11/16/2023 It's entertaining but all of the season make USA and CIA look so weak as pretty much every time day lose! See more Chris M @Chrisrmo 04/29/2023 After a slip in season 3, Himeland comes back in full force in season 4. Incredible story will keep you on the edge of your seat. See more the s @The_Stranger 01/26/2022 Although a solid season, the episodes set in the Middle East didn't age very well. It's 2022…American troops have been withdrawn from Afghanistan. Americans haven't had to deal with Islamic terrorism in well over a decade. The real threats today come from inside America's borders. We've all realized that extremism in America is as prevalent and dangerous as what goes on outside of our borders. Russia has reminded us that they're still America's real nemisis but they've realized that the war they want to wage is with information and disinformation. Right wingers March around carrying automatic weapons in an effort to prove that they're not scared of anything and all it takes is a rich man to spin make-believe yarns about stolen elections to get them to attack their own Capitol building. So this idea of Islamic terrorism harkens back to a time we've moved beyond. And while that speaks volumes about our troops, national security and defense agencies, it's hard to get in the mindset of Islam being public threat number one anymore. It feels dated to think that way because in fact, it's not the reality of the world anymore. Having said all of that, (as mentioned) it's a well written season with the same stellar acting the previous seasons offered. The story is good and it's packed with some espionage, action and suspense. It's not the writer's fault that the world has moved beyond focusing on the Middle East, it's just the nature of the world that America would eventually deal with its main threats coming from inside the house, unfortunately.
