The first two episodes promise a contemplative sixth as opposed to a shock-and-awe one. Read full review

It’s in these studious details that Homeland gains its veteran edge. By Season 6, we know these characters quite well. The extreme situations surrounding them force development and drama, but the writers know to craft seemingly innocuous dialogue that cuts deep or casually incorporate key details that come back in a big way.

It’s smart writing for smart characters. Six seasons in and Danes and the writers keep Carrie a complicated character who sometimes does the wrong thing. Read full review

The first two episodes set up enough surprises and double-crosses to suggest a promising new season. Read full review

Homeland might have learned how to turn its history into an asset, but it also can’t escape the fact that, like most shows with long runs, it can do little to surprise us anymore. Danes keeps Carrie watchable through the sheer force of her charisma, and Patinkin is always a treat. Read full review

Ultimately, Homeland‘s first two episodes do enough to earn your interest. But it feels a lot like Quinn: haunted by the past, disoriented in the present, and perhaps incapable of moving into the future. Read full review

The overwhelming sense of a work drained of vitality-- of a series once rich in suspense of the most brilliantly imagined kind, especially in the past two seasons, now flattened, on the evidence of the first episodes, to a deadly predictability, all of it the inevitable result of works dedicated to sermonizing.

Season 6 is maybe the best season so far. It is thoughtful and visionary, surprising and... depressive. Like a good wine, it gets better with age. Bravo!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 'Homeland' used to be a great, amazing show but now it's still dwelling with the same character fatigue as the previous season. Claire Danes is flawless and it's great to see Rupert Friend alive and well but, was the renewal really necessary?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While I have greatly enjoyed Homeland over the years, this year seems like a blizzard of leftist talking points with a plot line thrown in. Whether it's Saul lecturing his Israeli sister over the settlement that she lives in, or alleged American war crimes being presented as fact, the ravages of PTSD, the Iranian nuclear deal actually being taken seriously, etc. etc. etc., it's just a bit heavy on the preaching.

Will still tune in out of habit, and to see if twists balance out the obvious political slant to the writing, but I'm almost at the point where I'll just cut to the chase and read the latest from Buzzfeed instead.… Expand

After three episodes, I'm calling Time of Death. This is the most pathetic start to "Homeland" in its five seasons. It's boring, plodding, and tainted with more political crap that none of us wants to deal with after the insane election of 2016. Whoever drew up the architecture for thisAfter three episodes, I'm calling Time of Death. This is the most pathetic start to "Homeland" in its five seasons. It's boring, plodding, and tainted with more political crap that none of us wants to deal with after the insane election of 2016. Whoever drew up the architecture for this season is to be fired. But that's just me. If you want to see Carrie as a mommy, as a Muslim sympathizer, and a surrogate to a Hillary stand-in, then knock yourself out, but this isn't the same series it's been to now; and it's likely the final season. I don't see a renewal after this travesty. Movin' on.… Expand

Just another series with a political agenda and not so good directing/acting.
Carrie got so boring!
So far the 6th season is the worst.
More to come?

This season's gripping narrative feels more significant of our times, than HOMELAND ever has. The terrorist insurgencies and obviously Claire Dante's outstanding performance. What more would you need from this show.
