Typically in a long-running series, a character - especially a female protagonist - tends to get her rough sides sanded down. Not Carrie. She still acts as a force for good, but she's stubborn and reckless as always.April 21, 2017
Sadly, though, as I look back on this season, which is set in New York and deals with conflicts between a president-elect and the intelligence community, it's clear that it was the weakest one yet.February 01, 2017
Suddenly the show's vision of the intelligence community and the administration it answers to looks like something out of 'The West Wing.'March 17, 2017
Yup, it's my own fault for getting on board in the first place back in January. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in, then put me to sleep.April 04, 2017
Is a counterterrorism spy drama capable of making the kind of meaningful insights its showrunners aspire to make? Frankly, no, at least not without making itself incoherent, as season six threatens to do.March 20, 2017
Still, I enjoy the slow scene-setting and anticipate that Homeland's tales of a terror-besieged state will be necessary escapism as we succumb to the coming darkness. It's the calm before the stupid, basically.January 17, 2017
The setting suits the downscaled ambitions of the once indispensable, now reliably watchable Showtime series.April 11, 2017
The end result was a patchy and incoherent story that was salvaged by Lesli Linka Glatter's taut direction of the suspenseful finale.January 12, 2017
The first two episodes promise a contemplative sixth as opposed to a shock-and-awe one. Carrie - I think we can all agree - deserves the breather.
