    The series has some work to do to extricate its characters from the hole it dug in season 3.

    There is a flatness to the supporting characters--Saul's wife and Carrie's sister are now garden-variety Prestige Cable nags--and a measured predictability to the overall story that drains too much tension from even the sight of a wig-free Corey Stoll. Yet Mandy Patinkin and F. Murray Abraham are still fantastic, the show still employs top-notch directors and Homeland can still rustle up an atmosphere of tense isolation when it needs to. All in all, many of the tin-eared elements would more or less tolerable if I were still intrigued by Carrie Mathison.

Now that he's gone, Homeland can be what it shoul've been all about giant plots on terrorism and events of national interest. Not myopic and short storylines… Full Review »

The story line for season is even more compelling and gripping than ever. I am glad that the Brody phase is finally over, the show can shine again with Claire Danes and the other characters. Oh boy, Claire Danes: equally, her acting is as superb as always, of course, another main reason I am still watching this loyally.

    Well, I am up to episode nine, and things are getting "worse" than ever!!! I adore it!!    … Full Review »
