Carrie orders an assault against him, but her actions result in the deaths of 40 civilians attending a wedding at the same location. Consequently, CIA director Andrew Lockhart (Tracy Letts) recalls her back to the U.S. However, a major scandal casts shadows over Lockhart's actions. Meanwhile, Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) struggles to adjust to life in the private sector; and Carrie learns that Haqqani may have survived the initial attack, which could lead to deadly consequences for everyone involved.

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Homeland Season 4 All Critics (45) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (35) | Rotten (10) It is still psychologically astute, but it has become a much more straightforward, and largely effective, spy show. Oct 1, 2014 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic The show has reset and is now prepared to move forward. And how refreshing it is. Oct 6, 2014 | Full Review… Jason Hughes TheWrap Top Critic [Claire] Danes' Carrie is steelier than ever, her heart hardened to near-concrete while going about the exhilarating business of eliminating terrorists no matter what the collateral damage. Oct 3, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic If the season turns out to be primarily a complex Middle East thriller, that could still be entertaining. Homeland has just set us up to want more. Oct 3, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic It's clear that Homeland, this many years in, is just like Saul: It still has things to say, and ideas to explore, even if they're not always comfortable to absorb. Oct 3, 2014 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR Top Critic Here's hoping the drama can avoid the credibility problems of past seasons while launching a taut and topical new story. Oct 3, 2014 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic It suffers too much from echoes of stuff you've seen before, from Secret State to Edge of Darkness, while the fancy on-screen overlays of computer data are too brazenly post-Sherlock for comfort. Jul 24, 2018 | Full Review… Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Homeland has officially gone from America's shining self-examination of foreign policy to just another basic cable spy-drama that's been there and done that, and it shows no signs of returning to form any time soon. Sep 29, 2014 | Full Review… Merrill Barr Forbes "Homeland" is back big time with a fourth season that replicates the greatness of the show's first season. Sep 28, 2014 | Rating: 5.0/5 | Full Review… John Hanlon John Hanlon Reviews It redirects its focus away from prep schools and bedrooms (bye bye, Dana and Jessica Brody) and back onto the pitfalls and immoralities consistent with fighting something as unscrupulous as the war on terror. Oct 6, 2014 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Al Alexander The Patriot Ledger View All Critic Reviews (45) Audience Reviews for Homeland: Season 4 ½ JeffL Super Reviewer BrendanN Super Reviewer ½ Homeland slightly improved with one if its best seasons, thanks to a fresh start, a new imposing villain that even when he's not present, he feels like a threat; by putting some characters under extreme situations they never were before and a couple of superb action packed episodes that were missing from the previous seasons. Still, some silly storylines still occur that feel like belong on a whole different show. Add some inconsequent plot turns, Carrie going nuts again (and using this fact to put her place in jeopardy AGAIN), more Quinn but that's not necessarily great, he's a one trick pony in the end and more unnecessary family dramas around that have very little connective tissue to the overal narrative. Francisco G Super Reviewer The fourth season of Homeland shows remarkable staying power, with a willingness to sever old characters and move on to new story-lines. The audacity of Homeland, with its ability to change gears and not look back has become a hallmark. It’s still riveting and thrilling, a refreshing departure from the over-emphasized Broody storylines of old. The characters seem to be developing, and the show hasn’t showed signs of stalling. However, I was a bit disappointed with the eagerness to sever from the on-going arcs of season three. The third season had a lot to admire, and seemed to lay strong ground work which I hope will not be lost in the fifth season. Overall, not as strong as the third season, yet a promising ending makes for an exciting future. 4/5 Stars JeffreyM Super Reviewer View All News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
