Disregarding the "twist" that Saul didn't kill himself, Episode 8 was awash with relatively-minor moments of tension building to one much-needed switcheroo at the end. Go to Full Review Matt Brennan Slant Magazine 12/21/2014
"Halfway to a Donut" is the most focused episode of Homeland so far this season, and its straightforward narrative seems a necessary respite from the psychological fireworks of "Redux." Go to Full Review Josh Modell AV Club 12/21/2014
"Halfway To A Donut" (apart from that title) was pretty great. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/06/2018

The show has proved that while it might be unable to hit the big highs it reached in Season 1 and Season 2, it can still pull off intense, compelling sequences when its characters are risking their lives in order to do their jobs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
