Lynda S Jan 9 It's okay as a drama, but every episode seemed to 'jump the shark' a bit more. It is preposterous enough that someone at the CIA would be sleeping (maybe even 'fall in love') with a known terrorist. But it's off the rails crazy that her superiors wouldn't kick her to the curb as soon as they found out. Carrie's actions could possibly be justified because she's pretty crazy, and not just bipolar. But there's no justification that she would still have a job. I've only watched about 2.5 seasons, so maybe they figure out a way it all makes sense. But I really doubt it.

It’s one of those series where you tell yourself “one more episode,” and suddenly it’s 3AM and you’re still watching. Claire Danes absolutely kills it as Carrie. She’s messy, smart, stressed out, and somehow still holding everything together by a thread. Half the time I was rooting for her, and the other half I was wondering how she even survives her own life. The story gets intense fast, but not in a cheesy way. It feels grounded and realistic enough that you kind of forget you’re watching a show sometimes. Even the slower episodes hit because the characters feel so real—you actually care what happens to them. If you’re into political thrillers, spy stuff, or just want something that’ll keep you hooked nonstop, Homeland is definitely worth a watch. I ended up liking it way more than I expected.

See more the s @The_Stranger 01/23/2022 This series is the exact opposite of garbage like American Horror Story. That alone is reason to watch it. It feels like it was written more in the style of a book rather than a TV series or film and that adds to the way that the plot builds. It's not a complex path from plot development to conclusion…it just builds at a steady, interesting pace and each episode completes another piece of the puzzle of what becomes the overall picture. It's easy to watch but it's almost one of the more complex series (or at least was at the time of production). Series have come a long way over the past decade but the majority are just crappy franchises and profit vehicles for studios who are chasing after that endless story that will hook and capture audiences enough that they'll keep their subscriptions. This series was about telling a story so they didn't drag audiences out too far or too long…each season had its own main plot and that plot typically tied itself up by the end. Producers depended on solid writing, acting and storytelling to keep audiences coming back…not endless gimmicks and a never ending story (think Handmaid's Tale) that go nowhere but circles until they've literally bored even the most ardent fans into numbness. Kudos to the producers for making something of substance that actually went somewhere. See more Read all reviews
