FD D You can't fault it Quinn is amazing , Saul is immense , you simply can't beat homelands Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review the s This was the season that made me wonder how Homeland was renewed for a 7th season. All of the elements are in place here for it to be an amazing season but it just doesn't gel. There's a catch-22 going on…America's fascination with Muslims and the Middle East had waned, Americans were tired of the constant war and news and the high real-life drama had worn off. Viewers had soured on the idea of a series focused on things they were trying to move on from. At the same time, writers shifting the story back to the U.S. made for some boring plot lines and the writers didn't seem to know which direction to go in. They shifted Carrie out of the CIA into a position that was boring and eliminated a lot of the action, drama and thrills that her role previously provided. She's a mom now, she's hanging out with lawyers and trying to make the world a better place. But this is fiction we're talking about and that kind of fiction doesn't make for riveting stories or plots. Quinn is limping around (after spending last season basically as a shadow/punching bag) which is a shame because his character is pretty compelling and the actor who plays him could have carried a series on his own, likely. So the main reasons to watch are for, all intents and purposes, out of the picture. Saul is involved in some boring arms deal situation so without the action and drama and intrigue of previous season, this season plays out like a soap opera for bored housewives. Even at this pace, it's a better shoe than most of what was airing at the time but myself and many others almost gave up on Homeland during this season. There just wasn't much to cling to to be honest and the writing hit a literal low point for what had otherwise been an incredible series. I will say this: the writers use a very specific method in this season to keep viewers engaged: they take characters you've come to care about and they destroy their lives right in front of you. The approach gets old though…nobody has the kind of bad luck that Carrie and Quinn have…the writers knock them around to the point where it's almost painful to watch (Carrie's daughter being taken from her, Quinn devolved into a drooling, drugged up mess who is constantly beaten, shot, punched, assaulted, etc). That's not a tenable way to keep viewers coming back…it's a cheap trip, viewers continue to tune in to see things get better. Good writers don't need those kind of tricks and gimmicks and it does get old quick. I'm fact, some of the episodes are downright hard to watch because of how much punishment the characters take. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm definitely not okay with the finale, which they could make it way more reasonable and impressive. I'm especially not okay with how they decided the storyline of peter quinn. It's hurtful and egregious and will not make up for their poorly-developed plot.
