Homeland Season 7
- Thread starter Glanza
- Start date
I'll post what I posted in the 'now watching' thread. Just finished Homeland S8. Honestly, I've loved it. S8 has been a great season and that last ep had some fantastic tension, like was saw back in S01E09 (I think it was, anyway). Quite a good ending I feel too, which for me is a big factor on the overall rating of a show. I would probably put Homeland into my top 10 (and I've watched a lot of TV!)
There aren't many shows I feel I should watch again in a few years time. Sopranos, Justified, The Americans, The Shield... add Homeland to that list.
While some of the homeland seasons have been stellar, there have been a few dogs in the overall lineup so I'd struggle to go back and watch the series again in its entirety. It'd hit a top 25 list for sure for me, never a top 10 show though.
I agree with The Shield and Justified, they were excellent through and through.

I was not expecting the ending in season 8. What a turn of events!

Really enjoyed the last season and the ending was very very good.
I must have glanced away from the screen when they said 2 years have elapsed. - wtf

Yeah. I agree. I liked the finale, it was good, but not great.
As someone else mention, once they took out her family life and went back to what worked it improved. Season 8 was a return to form. Season 1 and 2 were the best though. Overall I enjoyed the show.
Agree, good, but not great ending.
It just doesn't fit right that the Russians have just accepted her? She was always loyal to the USA and Gromov never had any reason to doubt her allegiance.
A bit disappointing that they never addressed the 'did she/didn't she' regarding the exposure of her source in Afghanistan...

Good series overall. First couple of seasons were the best, but they successfully adapted it to become something a bit different after that. The Berlin season was one of my favourites (maybe because I was living in Germany at the time).
The Claire Danes Wobbly Lip started to grate a little towards the end though, so I'm glad they didn't try to drag it out any longer.

That is her trademark as far as I am concerned. I noticed it in Terminator 3 and whenever there is an emotional scene she pulls it out. Haha.

Thought the final series was a step up (thankfully) and thought it was finished off well. It still wasn't up to Series 1 and 2 standards but was plenty watchable and was gripping throughout.

Ive really enjoyed watching Homeland, I do have a soft spot for off her meds Carrie (am I going to get sex, am I going to get stabbed? Who knows), and even though it had its dips it was still a great viewing experience. Not the ending I’d have liked but....
the show started with a traitor and it ended with a traitor so bookended I suppose.
True star of the show was Peter Quinn. According to one of the info docs he was brought in as a supporting character for season 2 as a one off gig, and ended up probably being one of the best characters in the show, and the ultimate badass.
Caporegime
Yeah, he was very good. But I actually cannot remember what happened to him, killed in the end I think? Never seen that actor elsewhere since.
Soldato
I recall him getting shot up, driving a car with Carrie and the Pres out of a parking garage?
I'm sure I saw him as a lead in his own movie? IMDb says he was Agent 47 in Hitman (2015)
