What to Know

Critics Consensus

Homeland finally provides a compelling backstory for Allison's character, though too few narrative pieces snap into place in "All About Allison."

If "Allison" isn't Homeland's dullest episode to date, it's certainly close. Go to Full Review Matt Fisher Observer Nov 23, 2015

8.3/10
Miranda Otto's take on Allison was as strong as always and the revelations about how she wound up where she is today were worth the wait. Go to Full Review Cory Barker TV.com Nov 23, 2015

4/5
