Homeland's seventh season came to a close with a dreamy escapist fantasy for the many U.S. voters who are concerned about the partisan warfare in Washington, D.C. and its debilitating ripple effects on the body politic.

I am certain we will see Yevgeny again. Like Carrie, he's a master of his craft with few peers and a problem with authority.

3/5

Thematically, you have to admire the show for finding a way to reflect our current political scene so unpredictably.

A-

In wrapping up season seven, Homeland marinates questions of leadership and responsibility, all while showing us just how committed Carrie Mathison is to her cause. It's tough to watch, admittedly a little clunky, but occasionally truly inspiring.

The moment you stop to think about the plot, it crumbles like a wafer, but while you watch it unfold, it's taut and tense, with the feeling of superpowers colliding, great scores being settled and Carrie forever caught in the cross-hairs.
