Homeland has been quick out of the traps this year and just two episodes in dropped its first major bombshell. Go to Full Review Jake Flores Observer 01/24/2017
Well I'm not some fancy big city lawyer but I do declare that I know when I have been hoodwinked by a big New York City television program and boy howdy was Homeland back up to its old tricks. Go to Full Review Debra Birnbaum Boston Herald 01/23/2017

7.6/10
Without fanfare it elaborates a portrait of a woman pulled in a million directions. It also launches Homeland's most explicit criticism of the War on Terror to date, as seen, for the first time this season, in the series' ever-evolving title sequence.
