Tense, emotional, and reminiscent of earlier Homeland episodes, "Casus Belli" returns its leading lady to the tense, high-stakes storytelling in which she truly thrives.

With her legal advocacy likely shut down for the time being, we can look forward to Carrie back where she does her best work -- out on a limb, flouting authority and seeing who the real enemy is. Go to Full Review Aaron Riccio Slant Magazine 02/21/2017
"Casus Belli" moves with alarming alacrity, hurtling forward without giving its characters a chance to reconsider their positions or de-escalate tensions. Go to Full Review Shirley Li Entertainment Weekly 02/20/2017

It's a solid episode, planting the seeds for the latter half of the season and raising intriguing questions but also raising some red flags that don't completely fit into the picture. Go to Full Review Ethan Renner Baltimore Sun 02/22/2017
The tense hostage situation made this an exciting hour, but there was surprisingly little in the way of plot advancement in this episode. I am in favor of smaller, slower storytelling in theory, but... Let's pick up the pace, Homeland. Go to Full Review David Crow Den of Geek 02/20/2017
4.5/5
