Paean to the People

Once again the series pivots from Islamist terrorism to Russian interference in American politics, and they did a great job with it.

The last two episodes (particularly the final one) was so full of holes that they negated all the excitement and tension of what went before. So disappointing.

The acting is top notch across the boards. Claire Daines is outstanding in many of this season's episodes. The writing is top notch. Various plot surprises come into play, especially in the last two episodes. If you have followed Homeland all along I predict you will find this season very satisfying. It was for me.

For years it was back to back excitement and drama, but now it seems to just throw anything in the story to fill up the hour.

I am hoping it gets better. This was my favorite show but now I am getting worried it might crash and burn.

Over the run of the series they've stretched Carie's bipolar disorder from reality, but they completely broke any bond to the truth in this episode and thereby destroying millions of people with mental illness.If Carie had bipolar and went the months they talk about without her medication, she would not go crazy.Bipolar is not schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders where going without medication would have such an effect.It's a shame that such an otherwise great episode that brings what today's politics are and can anything ever be done to bring our country together be soiled for political drama.
