There’s just a ridiculously satisfying amount of content in these first few episodes, and in promises moving forward, that make Homeland‘s cloak-and-dagger world one of the most easily absorbing right now on TV.

Are you kidding me? Finally the show gets off of the Damian Lewis / Brody storyline and people are complaining? The new characters and a plot that is consistent with current events make this a must watch show. The introduction of the character Allison Carr was a coup. Another person to hate! The show started of slow but quickly gained interest as characters became more developed and circumstances arose.

SEASON 5
Berlin's an enticing setting for Carrie, and Homeland, having gotten back its mojo after a too-long dalliance with Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), seems once again headed in an interesting direction.
The Edward Snowden-inspired plot is the most compelling story line this season, which is packed with conspiratorial intrigue and complicated questions about political and journalistic ethics.... But the second that Carrie yields to her first fit of mania in years, pasting newspaper clippings all over her house and searching for connections between them--surely, there are computer programs now that allow people to do this without ruining their wallpaper!--it’s d.j. vu all over again.
Syria and refugees are only the beginning of this season’s potent mix of ripped-from-the-headlines crises.... Carrie is, unsurprisingly, headed back to her old identity as master snoop on the hunt. Between that and the news focus, not to mention the glittering Berlin street scenes, welcome to the new Homeland.
Some things do [change]. Homeland deepens its story for its fifth season, and this journey might be Carrie’s most treacherous.
If you're still on board with wondering if Carrie will go off her meds again, whether she and Saul will patch things up, or if Quinn is an alienated killing machine or kind of crushing on Carrie, welcome back to Homeland. But if you're craving something more, Season 5 may feel like a retread job on tires that are showing their wear.
After one of it's best seasons we get the nadir. The shark has been jumped. This plot is all over the place silly. The plot holes are gargantuan. Saul seems to have gone walkabout. Hezbollah is now a buddy. A Russian mole, outed and caught red handed gets to bs her way out of the rap and the CIA does what it pleases in Berlin. Have the writers from 24 migrated? Carrie will, of course, save the day and her rep. Now all she has to do is put out a hit on the, dare I say it, creative team.

SEASON 5
Meh, It's not what it used to be.
There are way too many analogies with current events that tend to fall under the oversimplified and clichè.
The way past characters interact with each other makes it feel like it has beena decade away from season 4.

I got to episode 6 and couldn't do it anymore. How the mighty have fallen: to think just a few seasons ago, I thought this might be one of the greatest shows ever made for TV. It seems the creators hadn't given much thought to the direction of the show after the great Brody story ended since last season saw the start of its decline in cohesive story lines and creativity. If you thought last season barely made it through, I guarantee that you will not finish this one except to see how it ends!
