What to Know

Critics Consensus

Homeland's reintroduction of Carrie Mathison's mental health struggles will strike many viewers as a distracting rehash, but Claire Dane's harrowing performance makes the subplot feel more fresh than redundant.

Trying to figure out what David Wellington is up to is a tough one...Factor in whatever he's got going on with Simone Martin and you've got a deeply shady character at the heart of the Keane administration. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 02/26/2018
4/5
It's ultimately a solid hour because of the great work of the cast, particularly Claire Danes, as Carrie is forced into a fragile, emotional place for almost its entire length. Go to Full Review Shirley Li Entertainment Weekly 02/26/2018

I'm not trying to knock the show for exploring its lead's mental health issues - just, Homeland knows how to explore them organically. Here, three hours into season 7, Carrie's downward spiral feels like a plot contrivance to keep her sidelined. Go to Full Review Matthew Dougherty The Filtered Lens 02/04/2020

At this point, "Standoff" almost should feel repetitive. That it doesn't is something of a marvel, but the writers still know how to frame Carrie's struggle with bipolar disorder in a way that endears us to her without retracing their steps. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 02/04/2020
We should know by now that Carrie Mathison has the smarts and the kick-ass attitude to get herself out of the worst fix. Go to Full Review Ethan Renner Baltimore Sun 02/27/2018
This hour did a nice job in firmly establishing that this is now a show about Carrie... That's not the show that we signed on for as viewers six seasons ago, but it's one that's still worth our time today. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
