    Still watchable specially if you liked the first and second season, but it is quickly transforming into an easy, not-original thriller show. Still looking forward to see what happens next, but please writers, enough with the Clare Danes crying, I think we've seen enough of it throughout the other seasons.

    Meh, It's not what it used to be.

    There are way too many analogies with current events that tend to fall under the oversimplified and clichè.

    The way past characters interact with each other makes it feel like it has beena decade away from season 4.

    After one of it's best seasons we get the nadir. The shark has been jumped. This plot is all over the place silly. The plot holes are gargantuan. Saul seems to have gone walkabout. Hezbollah is now a buddy. A Russian mole, outed and caught red handed gets to bs her way out of the rap and the CIA does what it pleases in Berlin. Have the writers from 24 migrated?

    I loved Season 4. I almost got into this season, but I just couldn't buy the plot...especially Carrie's involvement. She has always pushed the boundary of what's believable, but now she's borderline magic. And why did the writers think we needed to see yet another Carrie off of her meds episode?

    For now, at least, Homeland is back with a surprising show of force.

    Viewers will have to decide how much good faith the show earned with its redemptive fourth season as its fifth one crawls in the direction of a plot. If this is the season in which Homeland aims to resolve its own contradictions and to deliver to its tortured characters some measure of understanding or peace, it would benefit, as my colleague Willa Paskin has noted, from a little bit more crazy.

    The CIA office politics are getting old, but the topical references remain gripping.
