Oh, Homeland… I wish I knew how to quit you! Actually, no, I don’t. But that eight-year-old reference does apply here to some degree. For as invested as I am in the main characters of the Showtime hit, the show’s swings from storytelling highs to lows and back again have become more and more difficult to ride out. Which is probably what it’s like for the people who are around Carrie every day, with her behavioral swings, come to think of it.
In its third year, Homeland continued the trend that began the latter part of last season by being frequently uneven and oftentimes over-the-top and just plain unbelievable. In fact, I said at the end of Season 2 and again at the start of this year that the show was essentially a different animal from what showrunners Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa had given us in its excellent freshman run. If Homeland had existed solely as those first 12 episodes, culminating in the self-destruction of Brody via bomb vest, the show would be remembered now and forever as an undeniable classic.
