A great finale to a well,done final season. Artistically rendered. What a terrific series.
Brilliant finale.
Near the top as one of the best series finales of all time. I take pride in trying to guess where things are going, plot twists, etc. but I never saw this coming. Not only suspenseful, topical, and entertaining, but it connects on an emotional level I never expected. Kudos to the writers and other talent. A special shout out to Mandy Patinkin and Claire Danes. Seriously. Wow.
Also agree with other reviewers, it definitely left open the door for either additional season, or even better, a spin-off.
Like the title says of this review, I hate when a series that I'm addicted to says goodbye. But goodbye my good friend. Hope to see you again.
The end was bittersweet. I thank the cast and crew for a great series. The ending was fitting for the character of Carrie and the best finale I could've hoped for. I'm glad they didn't go with a rosy Disney fairy tale ending and stayed in the spirit of this world they've built.
I will miss this show but I suppose it was time to say good bye.

It's very rare for a television series to end well. Especially a series that spans 8 years. Very few shows have ever accomplished this monumental task. Breaking Bad is about the only other show that ends as spectacularly as Homeland.
Shows such as LOST and Dexter build incredible characters and plot lines but fail miserably in trying to wrap things up and leave the audience with a sense of frustration and disappointment.
Homeland ends in such a way that actually makes you proud to have been a fan of the series. It's climax is perfect. The writers of this series should be given the highest honors for what they did. It's sensational. Well done! Thank you!
