Pure "Homeland"

[851222 · 9/10 · 25 February 2020]

Greetings from Lithuania.

I'm a huge fan of "Homeland", but wasn't a huge far of previous two seasons. They were just OK in my opinion, while previous 5 seasons were stretching from amazing till great. This season so far is "Homeland" which is love. It has Saul and Carrie working together again against conflict in east, and is a direct continuation of a brilliant season 4. There is also a "Carrie working on Russians" theory, which is a great idea simply because it reminds us of Brody and now Carrie being turned - "Homeland" would come full circle during its final season.

Overall, with only two episodes in last season 8, i already highly enjoy this season by many moons more then i enjoyed previous two. No more Carrier / sister / daughter relationships that did drag in previous two seasons They stripped all of what was unnecessary and now its a pure "Homeland".

This is beginning to really feel like classic Homeland again. I really enjoyed seasons 4-7 don't get me wrong but this is definitely echoing seasons 1-3, with Carrie and Saul well and truly back at it. Carrie is such a smart character like genuinely she must be one of the smartest TV characters I've seen and she demonstrates such again in this episode. The pacing is beginning to pick up, and the blend of classic Homeland and the newer stuff (S4-7) is working very nicely. Haqqani and Yevgeny reappearing has got me very intrigued to see where stuff goes. Some of the episode is a bit samey in terms of Homeland 'tropes' compared to previous seasons, and also I feel like some of the scenes are slightly forced but apart from that, great episode

It is not good when a one hour show feels like two, but this is just not what I expected from Homeland's final season. The Saul stuff is all over the place and I am not quite sure where it is headed, but it doesn't even seem that interesting.

How many times can you write the same script?

I made a bet with my wife when Saul left the helicopter without guards that he would end up being captured. Guess what? It happened again 😂 This has been a great series to watch overall, but seriously this is getting old!
