Memorable, crazy movie
Sammy-Jo Cervantes
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Just a short review on Homeland. The first 3 seasons were great for me. Score 9 out of 10! I liked the personal relations between the characters throughout these seasons. A lot of emotion and excitement!
Now I'm in season 4 episode 9. Until now, it's very disappointing. The scenery is only Pakistan, no USA at all. The storyline is weak, just another hot shot terrorist that needs to be taken out. I miss the characters from the first 3 seasons, especially Brody of course. And not only that. Where is the tension and excitement in season 4??!!! Sometimes I almost felt asleep even. Never happened in the first 3!!!
I really hope the following seasons will be like these first 3.
Sorry if my English is not the best, I hope you'll forgive me, I'm from the Netherlands ;-)

Seasons 1-3 (maybe 4 too) made for great entertaining TV. Carrie, Brody, Dar Adal, Quinn & Saul in particular created a good base of characters around which to revolve the show. The 1st 3 seasons where well written keeping you hooked & excited for following episodes, besides some dodgy side plots( Brodys daughter in particular annoyed the HELL out of me & his son might as well not have existed). After this though the show has seen a rapid decline seeing evermore far fetched & non-sensical storylines. As other reviewers have stated 24 had the most overblown & most unbelievable storylines EVER but was pure entertainment you left your brain at the door for. For a show like Homeland which wants to ground itself in reality this doesn't work & becomes all the more infuriating.
As for the characters, Carrie has now become the most obnoxious & irritating character on TV. Claire Danes who i thought did a good job earlier in the franchise now trying to out-ridiculous herself & character episode after episode. Mandy Patinkin, who played one of my favourite characters & remains the only reason i keep watching, just now seems to be going through the motions as Saul. I think Mandy must know how bad the show has become but i want to know what becomes of Saul. Quinn was also a superb kick-ass character but was completely ruined with his cripple storyline arc & the character deserved better.
Stick with seasons 1-3 but prepared to become increasingly p****d off with Carrie & her erratic notions, overacting & the painful Frannie storyline

Epic TV Show about secret servicies and espionage!

After disappointing last 2 seasons, S08 started off very slow and just as I was ready to give up on the show, things got a lot more interesting with plot revolving around hot topics drawing inspiration from real life USA.Fake news, unstable president, russian meddling with Carrie in midst of it all - what more do you want?Season finale was somewhat of a letdown, else I would probably rate one star higher, but regardless, this season reminded me why I felt in love with the show in the first place.
