    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

    As in season's past, the first few episodes lay the foundation for the season. The fatigue of war in the Middle East is examined. With a new administration, how do we handle war, spying, terrorism, while keeping the homeland safe and remaining a free society? This show remains relevant.

    After a very slow start with the first episodes, Homeland has realy picked up the excitement with a bang. Just a couple of episodes after the first three and it flipped this season totally arround, from beeing slow and booring to very exciting and can't get enough of it. To those who is about to throw in the towell due to the first episodes, hang in there it will get much better.

    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 season has been a slow burn, but it certainly has now built into an excellent suspense thriller. It would have been even better if Dar Adal, had been caught out by pure leg work and brain power, by Carrie, Saul and Peter Quinn, rather than him letting himself open to silly mistakes. Great TV though, I hope they commision No.7.

    Season six is low in the series, save by the performance of Claire Danes, Elizabeth Marvel and Mandy Patinkin.

    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.
