Homeland: Prisoners of War (2020)
Season 8, Episode 12
9/10
Right Up There
29 April 2020
Now place Homeland in an exclusive Canon of shows that bookended multiple seasons with quality. A fitting finale played out with requisite tension and pleasing denouement that I've come to expect and love from Homeland this past 8 years. As for today's tiresome politics infesting every show with woke ideology and utter blandishments passing as creativity, HERE is your finest female lead without the need to push agendas; Claire Danes Carrie has been a wrangled genius mess of flawed superheroine in for 8 seasons; a protagonist that evokes the finest response to her sex in the mind of the viewer - that I couldn't have cared less about her gender as I was just watching a terrific character played by a terrific actor wrestling with some terrific writing and direction. Thank you Homeland, for consistent reward; shaming the fall of GOT with simple faith in your characters and plots. That was how to do it. I'll miss it. And I'll be forever delighted I gave it my time.
