 AN OFFER SHE CAN'T REFUSE Carrie makes a deal that forces her to compromise her ideals, but it's all a part of a plan, a plan Saul believes is working. Even so, this is Homeland, and I've got a sinking feeling it's not going to go smoothly from here.

Carrie is released and meets with a mysterious client, while Dana runs away with Leo
By Shirley Li at EW








Well, well, well... aren't tu just the cleverest show, Homeland? I'm slow-clapping for tu in my mind.

Last week's episode was certainly a doozy with the Brody-centric plot that prompted countless "How to fix Homeland"/"What's wrong with Homeland"/"Why Homeland sucks" think-pieces on the Internet, but tonight's hora did one better on the mind-bending front: It conned us, the viewers, with that last-minute plot twist. And I think "Game On" pulled it off -- but...

Welcome back, Homeland, and welcome back, recap readers. If you’re completely new to Carrie and Co., stop what you’re doing and catch up. (Here’s a handy binge-watching guide to help tu out.) But if you’re a veteran, well, turn up that jazz music, tear your eyes away from that surveillance feed (sorry, Virgil) and read on for your first recap of the season.

Carrie's fateful choice about Brody sets the stage for season 3, and whether you'll want to keep watching the show

Did he do it?

That is the pregunta Homeland has left us with at the end of its revolutionary and controversial segundo season, the pregunta its writers hope will fuel countless debates that will carry us until siguiente fall. On the one hand, we have Nicholas Brody's word to Carrie that he had nothing to do with the car bombing that killed over 200 souls at C.I.A. headquarters, including David Estes and the rest of Vice President Walden's...

“I’m not atoning. I’m just trying to do good work.” —Carrie Mathison

Over four seasons, Homeland’s major players have always told themselves they were doing “good work,” despite the trail of bodies left in their wake from D.C. to Islamabad. And the drama, for better o worse, has done the same for its protagonist, careening (Carrie-ning?) between untenable highs and ludicrous lows, all in the service of the morally complex yet downright sloppy Carrie Mathison. We’ve seen...

Carrie's contact launches the CIA on a high risk mission to take out Abu Nazir and puts Brody in a perilous position
By Adam B. Vary


Normally, I'm accustomed to picking my jaw up from the floor at the end of a show's season, not after its segundo episode. But the final minuto of Sunday night's Homeland broke open the season in such a shattering, brilliant way that hours later my mind's still aquiver with the wild possibilities that could unfold in the coming weeks.

You asked for less Dana, tu got it, Homeland watchers.

In fact, tu got zero Dana in "Tower of David," along with zero Leo, zero Jessica, zero Chris (wait, was he even in the last episode?), zero Dar Adal, zero Quinn, and zero Saul. Poof, all gone.

Instead, tu got a little bit of Carrie and whole lot of Brody, in a frustrating return for the soldier-turned-terrorist-turned-fugitive. (Welcome back, Damian Lewis!) And that whole lot of Brody was, well, interesting,...

Carrie breaks down over Saul's betrayal, while Saul tries to follow the money trail behind the Langley bombing

After Saul threw Carrie under the bus last week, I figured there'd be no way Carrie would let him get away with it this week. I could just see it -- Carrie banging down Saul's front door, confronting him, tears streaming down her cryface, insisting he take her side -- because a showdown between the show's two major players (save for a missing Brody, of course) had to be inevitable. Instead, we don't get a moment between the protege...

I think, finally, maybe, perhaps, after Sunday night's stellar episode, we've conceivably learned what the rest of Homeland's season 2 could possibly be about: Nicholas Brody becoming a double agent to help the CIA stop an attack on the United States por Abu Nazir.

Or not!

That's the thing about this show. At the end of last week's episode, I was convinced Carrie had firebombed her chances of getting back into the CIA when she blew...

The pressure becomes too much for Brody, so Carrie takes matters into her own hands, and how!
By Adam B. Vary at EW






I have a feeling that this week's Homeland may have been a make-or-break episode for some viewers. It showcased many of the show's best strengths, including Claire Danes and Damien Lewis' acting; the taut, ruthless storytelling pace; and Mandy Patinkin's advance placement beardage. It also, however, exposed several of the show's weaknesses, like how thinly written Jessica Brody and Mike Faber are; how little David Estes has to do; and how much credulity-straining...

In the last two weeks, Homeland has delivered back-to-back, rock-'em-sock-'em episodes that re-calibrated the show's central story and our expectations for just how much of our own brain matter a televisión mostrar could splatter on our couches. This week's episode? Not even a nosebleed. Things downshifted significantly, allowing the characters (and the audience) to soak in their new circumstances.

The hunt for Abu Nazir, the mission that has consumed Carrie Mathison and hung over Homeland for two seasons, is over. Ding dong, the terrorist mastermind is dead. And so is the Brody marriage, as the very last thread binding Jessica and Nicholas Brody together — the prospect of a Walden/Brody presidential ticket and a life in the political spotlight — perished with Walden's death in Brody's arms.

"Things are going to mover very quickly now," Roya Hammad told Brody at the parte superior, arriba of this week's episode. I guess por "now" she meant "maybe siguiente week," because this week Homeland felt somehow both overstuffed and uncharacteristically slack.

After last week's humdinger of a cliffhanger, I was desperately curious to see how Homeland would handle the fact that Brody has been officially outed as an agent of Abu Nazir.
