Review :
Homeland became its own show in season 4 and no longer an offshoot of that Israeli series
I didn't expect to like this season but I did. I ruefully had to admit that much as I love Damian's Lewis's acting talent, his part on this series had gone as far as it could go. What we picked up with instead is Carrie actually stationed in the Middle East as a station boss. Firsthand we experience what a mess we've got on our hands over there.

The original "Homeland" was derived from an Israeli series as its source material. That Israeli series had dealt with POWs coming back to Israel after a hostage exchange. It never moved off of its focus on the hostages and the wars in the Middle East. This show, by contrast, has completely jettisoned the Brody hostage scenario and now is solely concerned with being CIA and stuck with and in the Middle East. Quinn now has a much bigger role as part of this. So Homeland became its own show in season 4 and no longer an offshoot of that Israeli series. I like it better for that.

There are some truly startling moments...
Can't wait for the next episode!

I thought season 4 started off a little slow but by the third episode, I was hooked and can't wait for the next episode. The "in your face" occurences just blow my mind. After spending much time in the middle east and Afghanistan, I started reading up on Pakistan and the tightrope we walk to keep our access to the Kyber Pass. Amazing, relevant, thought-provoking stuff and just great TV!

Reinventing Itself On The Fly
(Warning: this review will include spoilers from earlier seasons of Homeland).

Coming into this fourth season of Homeland, my expectations really couldn't have been any lower. After a rollercoaster third season where the finale really felt like a series finale rather than a season finale, I didn't know what to expect from a show that seemed like it was starting back from square one. After a few episodes of finding its way, however, this season really kicks into high gear and proves that (though rare) a show can sometimes re-invent itself on the fly.

For a basic plot summary (only minor spoilers here), this season begins with Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) trying to come to terms with the absence of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), what with the daughter she now has that is his. She decides to run from that particular responsibility by taking an assignment overseas in Islamabad, where she investigates a terrorist bombing. A young man named Aayan Ibrahim (Suraj...
