It is still psychologically astute, but it has become a much more straightforward, and largely effective, spy show.
The show has reset and is now prepared to move forward. And how refreshing it is.
[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.
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.
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.
Here's hoping the drama can avoid the credibility problems of past seasons while launching a taut and topical new story.

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.
