Sateside once more following an assignment in Pakistan that went tragically wrong, the CIA's Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) reassesses her dark and complicated life on "Long Time Coming." Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 12/22/2014
The season finale's mimicking of past resolutions can be seen in one of two ways: a ripoff treading over well-soiled ground, or a poetic consideration of character priorities. I, for one, am siding with the latter. Go to Full Review Price Peterson New York Magazine/Vulture 12/22/2014
