Critics Consensus

"Active Measures" wrings some juicy suspense from an impromptu sting chock full of twists and eerily relevant subtext.

It was a relief this week to have a break from Brett O'Keeffe and his self-serving garbage.

I wish we spent a little more time meeting the rest of her allies (Anson wasn't exactly the most pleasant of the bunch), but this was a taut one-episode mission that got us closer to where we need to be for the rest of the season.

Between this and the ongoing alt-right storyline, it's more and more evident that Homeland is doing a Trump season without Trump. Whether or not they ultimately pull it off, what began as an erratic season is starting to coalesce nicely.

With the main characters now all on very separate quests (Carrie and Saul have yet to share a scene together this season) to find their various truths, season seven re-muddies the waters just as they seemed to be getting clearer.

Homeland is on cracking form at the moment. It's doing a great job of capturing a certain end-of-days mood, where everyone is hyper-partisan and nobody -- even the President -- is in control.
