    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

    If you're interested in a character who sounds like a valley girl on speed and has temper tantrums fill yer boots. Like every other season Homeland works best when the main character is nowhere in sight.

    It's just more and more unbelievable that anyone, even people that have only been in contact with Carrie for just 2 hours, would trust her to accomplish anything what so ever. Throughout all previous seasons miss Mathison grew to increasingly be the obnoxious egocentric she always has been. She acts as if everywhere she happens to be, is her Baghdad station over and over. Bossing everybodyIt's just more and more unbelievable that anyone, even people that have only been in contact with Carrie for just 2 hours, would trust her to accomplish anything what so ever. Throughout all previous seasons miss Mathison grew to increasingly be the obnoxious egocentric she always has been. She acts as if everywhere she happens to be, is her Baghdad station over and over. Bossing everybody around, evermore loudly and evermore unhinged from reality and inter-human contact. The reason I start with this is because sane thought dictates that one cannot believe she would have the slightest credibility to even ask someone to pass the milk. That makes the show a cringe fest every time Carrie opens her (loud)mouth. Add to this the still rising amount of plot holes -still as in 'even more than in season 5', and you should understand that the show has become truly hard to watch. The holes get ever so more inane as well. I kept watching as to be able to find out what would happen in the end to the other characters. Especially Saul and Dar. I'll watch the first episode of S7 for sure. To know whether it gets better and more credible. If not, it will end there. It's hard to say what annoys the most. The unlikeliness of Carrie as a person of relevance or the teeth clenching plot holes.… Expand

    Homeland has lost the sense that it’s always a step ahead of our real-life worries. Besides transitional indigestion at the CIA, there’s not enough going on.

    One questionable character aside, Homeland is off to a strong start and the new setting is a great change of scenery.

    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.
