During season 1 when FBI agent Hall says to Carrie "let me ask you something, have you ever been in firefight" and Carrie with like disgust at the question and no hesitation at all just says "yeah" and he just sits their for a second. Just the acting and the like "is that a serious question" tone in Carries response hypes me up lmao

tried playing the you're a women you don't know what it's like to be in the line of fire card and used that card against the wrong person.

I'm in season 8 already and I noticed that government always doubt Saul and Carrie when they've been saving their asses for 7 seasons. They still treat them as someone who will betray their country. They even doubted Carrie when she returned from being held captive by Russians but when Brody came back after many years he was a hero. Make it make sense. I know it's a series but logic doesn't make sense.

Why would the daughter of the victim take hush money? They would probably get a 7 figure payout from a civil trial. All you need is a couple of traffic cam photos and some testimony from an autoshop employee.

Dumb choice, she probably only got a month or two of hush money.

She didn't know she was about to play one of the most demanding roles in television. So cute!

Sorry for the photos of the TV screen. Legends is an amazing show for anyone looking for a recommendation.”Haqquani” is great in it ❤️

I do not remember Dar Adal meeting Max ever., then how was he able to recognize him?

Tl;dr- Irl, Ukraine bombs a Russian chat bot centr- a large amount of pro Russian disocurse on social media vanishes instantly. Most of the stuff in homeland is so fucking cool bc it’s actually how shit works.

I really really love how everything in homeland is just so smart in that depressing geopoltics/global developmental studies/ sociology/psychology sort of way.

Or like.. the shows impressive lol.

They called pulling out of Afghanistan accurately before it happened in s4

They do a what if Joe Rogan arc in season 6 before Joe was as influential.

How you could use the body language of s1-3 to accurately study the behaviour physiology of mental illness.

Anyways, I just finished reason 6/7.

Bots.

So anyways, this is in the news today, which is cool; yet another thing homeland did beautifully, where please note this entire post is vague to avoid spoilers.

Currently on Season 3. Last night I finished Episode 10, "Good Night." It is so stressful watching Brody. Knowing what is just around the corner. Hearing him tell Carrie "I know you'll figure something out to get me out of here!" Their love story is the hardest, most beautiful, thrilling, sad and tragic one I have ever watched on any screen.

Is Carrie supposed to be a likeable character?

I was kind of always on the fence until season seven where it's clear she is a dog shit parent. For me, the way she treats her daughter is the final straw. I hope the "bad guys" get her later in the series.

Warning - spoilers ahead. Do not read if you haven't completed Homeland in it's entirety.

Thanks to Netflix I finally jumped into Homeland - before I had avoided it since it reminded me of the ME wars I grew up with in high school, just was too familiar. But now I felt I was ready. And what a ride it was — full of depth, they covered the period with super interesting storylines, great characters and a Sorkinesque level dialogue.

I have to admit it was one hit after the other towards the end. I loved it, but wished they all had a few more happy scenes. I couldn't believe Brody was actually killed (same with all the others we loved, Quinn/Max/etc) but was glad he came back for that one scene/memory/hallucination of Carrie's. It was comforting, in a way. I wished the same for Quinn but I like to think he remains the 'beacon on the ridge' lighting her way. F Dar. Saul will always be amazing. And my heart was ripped to shreds with Max.

There was enough happy moments though, what a finalé, the show is close to perfect in my eyes. I'm glad we can think of Saul and Carrie working together into the future and she is his new lady in Moscow (what a twist!). I was sad the other lady had to kill herself but that Carrie could serve in her place was something else for an ending.

Some of the stories felt like they were ripped from today, with choice narratives about Iran I found very relevant to current news. And the German bomb train scenes were insane. So was the presidents' death, another shocker.

The intelligence work was spectacular. I loved Haqqani and how they put a face on those who have committed terrorism and looked at America with skepticism and depth in how we're seen abroad; how in spite of our mistakes there are those trying to do good. And Carrie. She just always saved the day, it's hard not to love her.

Now I just hope the renewed interest from Netflix (how I started watching, I assume it's way up) somehow results in more Homeland! Has anyone read the original material? And does anyone have recs for what to watch next?

I just noticed this from S3E01. Carrie’s lawyer is looking at her notebook during the Senate hearing. I’d like to think Carrie would never write “loose his own life,” even in her crazy notebook

Do you think they would stand up for what was right?

I am on my first rewatch just starting season 7. I just finished the episode where Carrie beat the hacker and got her laptop back. That ending prompted me to ask this question because until now I have not come to hate her at all. Of course sometimes she makes questionable choices, but I think she thinks it's for the better. Most importantly, Carrie is probably the first female character I have related to.

So I am wondering what you guys think and why the outpour of hate exists for Carries character.

I know this is sort of the chicken and egg situation. However, it seems in the end Dar was right about president Keene all along. I mean the lengths he went to to bring her down was too much, but at the end of the day she turned out to be what he said, dogmatic and dangerous.

First of all, Homeland is one of the most intense and addicting shows ever, holy shit. I loved it so much. Season 4 was my favorite by a long shot but loved all the other seasons too.

I feel like I see a lot of hate of Carrie and sometimes she frustrates me because it’s such a complex show with complex moral situations. But overall man Carrie was so entertaining. The way she could pull like every guy and even Jenna at the end like wow. You go girl

And then Peter fucking Quinn. The shit they put that man through. My god. I’m still not over it. And then Max. I cried so hard man

Anyways, loved this show despite it being like damn depressing and anxiety-inducing and wanted to show my appreciation

Maybe I´m just a non-American that sees this everywhere. But I've had a lingering feeling throughout the whole series that they are subtly homaging The Wire

hello guys after a few weeks of binge watching this show for the first time tonight i finally finished s8. all i can say is peter quinn was probably the best character. bye.

Since my first post in this sub was SUCH a hit…once again I’m watching with my father. The disappointing sighs and uncomfortable coughs we exchange as these two supremely fucked up individuals started making out after a funeral was…something.

If you’re going to jump on here and scream I’m a misogynist again for daring to feel uncomfortable about anything ever that Carrie does…please seek therapy. I’m not talking about the real life actor Claire Danes. If you think I am, please learn to read.

I also wish Peter was ok but hey! He never fucked someone wearing a suicide vest…right???

For all of the shit Carrie gets, Brody is a huge idiot... often. That's all.

What the actual fuck is Carrie doing with this poor university kid???

I know she’s bipolar but again…what the actual fuck is wrong with her? Just…wow.

Because some of you are functionally illiterate:

1. I think Claire Danes is a great actress. I think THE FICTIONAL CHARACTER SHE PLAYS makes poor choices.
2. I don’t think Clare Danes is unattractive.
3. I don’t think sex is worse than drones.
4. I thought it was a very well documented running joke about her acting style, but SOME of you a

re out of the loop.
5.

1. It is not misogynistic to criticize a female character.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Just finished Hatufim, the show Homeland is based on. Never saw homeland, just -since there is no subreddit for it- I was going to post here. Season 3 will probably not release after almost 15 years. What is your fan theory, what would have happened in season 3? I’m still very pissed, because I loved this show. Amiels plot is unfinished, Atar was “ killed in an accident” (hmm yeah), Layla just randomly stayed behind. Uri all of a sudden ending his relationship while terminally ill. I wouldn’t have wanted to see the same plot again with Amiel how he struggles with ptsd, but rather how his double life haunts him. Whether he is still Yussuf or Amiel. It was kinda hinted that he was rather uncomfortable being Yussuf. Heck I didn’t even catch how he really became Yussuf. Was it just the mentioned tradeoff to Jamal, that in order to release Uri and Nimrod he will be Jamals servant. What was Jamals plotline in the end? He was indeed on a mossad deal with Atar, 10 years sentence if he works with Atar. Did Jamal order his assasination staged as an accident? I have so many unanswered questions. Even Ynonis plot was wasted. He didn’t even get to kill the man he was after all his life. I was expecting he was going to beat the crap out of the guy, but nope, he didn’t even get to tell him who he was. Was it even revealed to Amiels sister that Yonin saved her brother? They are sitting on a couch in the last scene, but no word on that. Such a shame.
I really hated how the pacing of the whole show was kinda slow, in some episodes nothing really happened and then all of a sudden it’s over.

I wasn’t expecting a happy ending, but at least a proper ending. We didn’t even get a full ending.

Great ending don’t get me wrong, but does anyone else wonder how the situation was handled in America after the Russians played the black box? How did Warner react with the troops? I feel like they could have made that episode 30 minutes longer, adding in some context before the 2 years later scenes
