    As good as advertised, as good as ever. The new additions to the cast (Sebastian Koch, Miranda Otto) are compelling and the old gang are spot on. Mix in topical themes cleverly handled, and you've got smart entertainment at its best.

    A great start to Season 5 and this season might be the best yet if the quality of the show just slightly improves over the course of the Season. Very excited for the rest of the season.

    Are you kidding me? Finally the show gets off of the Damian Lewis / Brody storyline and people are complaining? The new characters and a plot that is consistent with current events make this a must watch show. The introduction of the character Allison Carr was a coup. Another person to hate! The show started of slow but quickly gained interest as characters became more developed andAre you kidding me?

    Homeland is still going strong, I never write reviews but supergirl is rated above this show? You've got to be **** kidding me.

    I'd say it's still the best show on television.

    Season 5 has a very intelligent and relevant plot but some pacing flaws, specially towards the end, prevent it from being a complete success. Having said that, Homeland still has a solid identity and it's worth watching.

    The thrilling moments are still there, the storyline is no so consistent but it's a great show though.

    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.
