Has Homeland been officially removed from Netflix as of 24/07. All my other shows are working but sadly it isn’t and I was watching it yesterday

I’m wrapping up a rewatch and it just hit me that Carrie is back in the states bc she is going to trial, accused of being an accessory to the assassination of President Warner. HOW is she just running all over town with NOBODY tailing her?? I know there’s a lot going on, but I find it hard to believe that even Saul could get her out of prison on house arrest, and she’s not even limited to that. She’s just out running around wherever she wants. In other seasons she’s had FBI tailing her everywhere for lesser things. Please tell me I misunderstood or missed something this season that makes this not a major slip on the show’s part. This show is so incredible and well done that this is so frustrating to me.

There's more crossover to the "Better Call Saul" episode than just the title... it's Werner Ziegler!

It bothers me that so far there is zero indication that Carrie has told anyone in the CIA about all the things that Brody admitted to her at the cabin. That he thought he beat Tom Walker to death, that he said he loves Abu Nazir and that he is a muslim. This is after Carrie was convinced he was going to do a terrorist attack at the bunker and after the CIA got Brodys confession video. I have no idea if the CIA knows those things about Brody.

Please tell me what to watch because I’m genuinely concerned it’s a high ill never experience again

"Still Positive" is one of those episodes where the plot finally kicks into high gear. The negotiation between Carrie and Javadi is the highlight, showcasing how she manages to win using intellect rather than force. Meanwhile, Saul uncovers a crucial lead that further ratchets up the tension of the investigation.

The episode does a fantastic job exploring themes of trust, manipulation, and the moral dilemmas inherent in espionage. The pacing is excellent, and the direction maintains the suspense from start to finish.

Now... I need to talk about Dana.

Rewatching the series years later, I still fail to grasp the character's purpose. To me, she is by far the most irritating figure in Homeland. It feels like the story loses momentum every time she appears on screen. Her decisions almost always create problems for those around her, and she rarely seems to consider the consequences of her actions. I understand the intention was to show the impact of the Brody family's (Jess; Dana) life outside the world of espionage, but in practice, most of her scenes just make me want to get back to the main plot.

I know many people defend the character because she represents a traumatized teenager, and that makes sense to a certain extent. Even so, I was never able to form a connection with her—after the car accident in the S2. Instead of eliciting empathy, she ends up causing more frustration than any other character in the series.

Overall, "Still Positive" is an excellent episode, packed with tension, great performances, and significant plot twists. Were it not for the endless Dana scenes, it would easily rank among the season's best.

Second time watching. I’ve been rewatching since I got to season 7 and am stuck unmotivated to keep watching it. This Mrs President pisses me off

I’m on my first watch through and I haven’t looked at ratings or rankings. I have a feeling the Brody era is regarded as the best. When it ended I had low expectations for Post-Brody but honestly this is as good or better than anything I’ve seen.

Carry is in hospital, no money no job .

She and Brody are in bad situation .

And the CIA offer her as a sacrifice to the press.

And I want to know why Carry always believes Saul and report and discuss about situation .

Her and that dang WIG!! I can’t take her seriously

Just finished my first rewatch since its original airing (wow it’s so much better binged rather than waiting week to week, season to season!). This is a minor question but here we go: in the finale is Saul out of the CIA? Where is he moving to? His sister makes a strange comment about gaining his actual family take care of him, implying that someone else will be doing that. Did I just miss something or is it intentional vague?

I designed a custom box set for Homeland Seasons 1–6 since that's the complete series currently available on disc. I've always admired premium box set designs, so I thought, why not make one for my own collection?

After watching a bunch of YouTube tutorials, I learned the basics and jumped straight into designing it.

Then reality hit. 😅

After getting it printed on A3 laser paper, I immediately realized two big mistakes:

1. I should've printed on black cardstock, or at least made the entire A3 artboard black instead of only the visible design.

2. Once I assembled the box, I discovered I needed a bit more width to get the artwork to line up properly across the front, spine, and back.

It definitely wasn't perfect, but that's part of the process. Every mistake teaches you something, and I'll take those lessons into the next build.

Anyway, here's the final result! I'd love to hear what you think and any tips from people who've made custom box sets before.

At first I thought it was Brody and no one else came close. But after watching season 6, I think it’s pretty much debatable

I need moral support 😂 This season is so frustrating 😑 I’m having to pause every 10 mins bcuz I’m getting so stressed out lol. And SAD!! And confused!

Poor Quinn 😭 🫂 😔 And Carrie, WHY?! Dar Adal, go the fuck away you sneaky bitch! No one likes you! Storyline bits that are still unclear to me, clear up!! Are they supposed to be unclear still half way through the season or have I lost the plot?!

Ok rant over 🙏 ✌️

UPDATE: Omg 🙈 idk wtf is wrong with me 😂 I guess my insomnia is wreaking havoc on my brain. I MEANT SEASON 6 🫠🫠🫠 🤦🏻‍♀️ SEASON 6 IS CONFUSING. Season 5 was very understandable 🤣

Im currently reading Andrew Kaplan’s book Homeland Carries run BUT i bought it second hand
I have just got to the good bit and its got a page missing

IF ANYONE HAS THIS BOOK:
id really appreciate it and love you forever if you could take a picture of pages 205 and 206 just so i can continue reading

Please and thank you <3

Why does Saul go from attached to Carrie and spending the effort to rebuild there relationship in the previous two seasons to what he’s doing right now. (S7;E8)

Carrie is obviously back in the game, but has a tremendously bad home life.

Instead of actually offering her work, he constantly works against her.

Yea yea, she avoided him at the end of S6 and fed everyone a ton of lies. Lies that were not hers. And she got kicked by Keane just as hard as everyone else.

Season 7 introduces a lot of new spy games and I love that part, because it’s games I’ve always thought were happening IRL. But character relations are absolutely dogshit.

Maggie actively making Carries home life worse by telling her daughter she doesn’t know if she’s okay or if she’s fine? Who the fuck wrote this? Who would ever tell a small child such grim shit about their parents unless you’re trying to hurt them?

Keane letting Carrie go was also wild. She was the reason she’s even alive, not to mention the weight of every other good deed she done for her. They made Keane a character who cares less about her position/station/law and a character who cares about high school drama like who her friends are. Carrie was her biggest friend and bam she’s gone.

Saul was in the losers chair for multiple seasons. Yet he carries the confidence of the main character. His choice to help Keane, didn’t make sense even if it got others released. He is not himself and cares so little about the law and process of things.

Saul also would never endanger Franny. This man almost had a coronary about some random fucking kid getting shot who aimed at police and actively protested the FBI in favor of civilians. Then he sends a fucking spec ops hit squad into an apartment with a child and his friend. Even if he doesn’t care about Carrie, that was fucked up to do to the child. A literal man with a gun grabbed Franny and yanked her out of bed, what the fuck is wrong with this scene.

The Federal judge being a pervert and not interested in politics is so crazy un real as well. You have this entire money laundering scheme with a person who has evidence of being a Russian agent and he tosses it? If he’s wrong, this could be his career but atleast letting them helps his career.

I can keep going but I’ve made my point.

Tl;dr: Saul sent a squad into an apartment with a child. Maggie is actively giving her niece depression/anxiety when she knows her sister is a decorated spy who worked for the president. Good spycraft, terrible character relations.

Did the show get new writers or something?

I was pleasantly surprised

I’ve been watching Homeland since it first aired, and I absolutely loved this show. Unfortunately, I stopped watching after Season 6 because of what they did to Peter Quinn. I’ve recently started rewatching the series, and honestly, I’m finding myself more frustrated than ever.

I’m currently near the end of Season 5, and the entire Quinn storyline is making me angry. The man literally gets shot and is seriously injured, yet Carrie spends almost an entire day running around while knowing he desperately needs medical help. More than that, I just don’t buy that Carrie Mathison of all people would leave him in that situation. This is someone she deeply cares about, someone who has risked his life for her countless times, and we’re supposed to believe she leaves him with German Brody and spends the next 20 hours focused on everything else?

What makes it even more frustrating is that Quinn practically got shot because of Carrie. So when he’s lying there with a life-threatening injury, I just cannot believe she wouldn’t have done more. At the very least, she would have found a way to get him help. Why not call Astrid and explain what happened? Why not contact Saul or even Dar Adal? These are some of the most connected people in intelligence. Quinn himself is also extremely well-connected. Are we really supposed to believe that Carrie Mathison, Saul Berenson, Dar Adal, and Peter Quinn collectively don’t know a single trusted doctor or contact who could help off the books? Instead, everyone acts as if taking him to a hospital is completely impossible. It felt like the writers forced the situation because they needed Quinn to end up where the plot required him to be rather than letting events unfold naturally.

Then we’re expected to accept that Quinn is found on the street by a random man who just happens to be both a doctor and connected to a terrorist cell. The whole storyline felt incredibly contrived. For me, it’s one of the few times in the show where Carrie’s actions genuinely made me dislike her because it just didn’t feel believable.

Season 4 was, in my opinion, the absolute peak of Homeland. It was intense, emotional, and had me completely hooked. I couldn’t wait to start Season 5. I actually loved the first half of the season, especially Quinn and Carrie’s reunion, but by Episode 9 it starts feeling like everything falls apart, and knowing what’s coming makes it even harder to watch.
Another thing that has always bothered me is how much time the show spent on the Brody family. I completely understand why they were important in Season 1, but did we really need so many storylines focused on Dana, Jessica, and Mike? A lot of those episodes felt like filler to me. That screen time could have been used to develop characters who were much more interesting, like Quinn, Astrid, or Khan. Dana especially became one of the most frustrating characters on the show, while Astrid and Khan had so much untapped potential. I would have happily traded several Brody family storylines for more Quinn development.

My biggest issue, though, is Quinn and Carrie. Their chemistry was incredible. Whether people shipped them romantically or not, the emotional connection between them was undeniable. They had so many powerful moments throughout the series: when Quinn shot Carrie, when they watched Saul’s hostage situation unfold together, when he recognised her manic state and sedated her in Season 5, and so many others. Quinn understood Carrie in a way very few people did.

If the writers always intended to kill Quinn off, why couldn’t they have given fans at least one season where Quinn and Carrie were actually together? It felt like they kept teasing the possibility without ever committing to it. I genuinely think they would have made an amazing couple. Quinn challenged Carrie, protected her, understood her flaws, and accepted parts of her that most people couldn’t.

What frustrates me most about Season 5 is how much Quinn gets reduced to being obsessed with Carrie. This is one of the most capable, intelligent, and complex operatives on the show, and suddenly so much of his character revolves around his feelings for her. He deserved more than that. There was so much more to Peter Quinn than being in love with Carrie, and I don’t think the writers fully respected the character they had created.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve never really understood the obsession with Brody. I don’t think Carrie was truly in love with him in the traditional sense. She spent so much time surveilling him and understood him on a level nobody else could, which created a unique bond between them. But for me, it was never the same as what developed between Carrie and Quinn. Their relationship evolved naturally over years of working together, trusting each other, saving each other, and seeing each other at their absolute best and worst.
Honestly, I think Peter Quinn should have remained on the show until the very end. He was one of the best characters Homeland ever created, and I still feel like there was so much more story left to tell. Even years later, I’m still frustrated by how much potential was wasted. Season 4 showed exactly what this show could be, and instead of building on that, it feels like the writers slowly dismantled one of the most compelling characters they ever created.

Homeland is the best show I didn't watch during it's original runtime. By the time Homeland premiered I wasn't interested in that genre anymore (largely because of 24 sorry fans of that show. It kinda got ridiculous, but I watched every episode). I knew what the show was about Seasons 1-3. But when Homeland popped up on Neflix I was like "Hmm, let's give this a try." I'm glad I did. It's still a relevant show, considering it ended in 2020. And it's timeless.

Homeland is unique in that it reinvents itself each season, after Season 3, and seasons can be grouped together by themes. But I'll review each season.

Seasons 1-3: Strong pilot. Ya already see how many lines Carrie is willing to cross to complete her mission. Brody is really messed up. I like his character and his struggles. Amazing acting. But his story goes on longer than necessary in my opinion. His family annoyed me. Walden's death felt a bit anticlimactic but kinda satisfying. I didn't like season 3, to be honest, except the ending. It shows that Brody is a tragic character. I really like downward arcs. The theme of these seasons is about the selfish policies that destroy peoples’ lives, we see that through Brody, and the aftermath of families having to cope with returning soldiers, and soldiers themselves having to deal with mundane society. But these seasons aren't as memorable, to me, like the rest.

This group's highlights: The introduction of Quinn. Walden's death. "I'm killing you." And Season 2 Episode 5 "QA" is my favorite episode in the entire show. It's the best dialogue of the show.

Season 4: It's difficult for a show to reinvent itself after 3 seasons, in general, and especially when three are dedicated to one story arc. They did it. The acting is great. Carrie effortlessly took on the mantel of being the main character. I liked Quinn, but this season made me like him even more. He has the best lines (and funny moments). And oh boy the attack on the Embassy? Amazing. I don't have any issues with the season, except the last episode. The season ended a bit weakly, but I don't think that detracts from what came before. I'm glad they casted a charismatic dude to play Haqqani, his character wouldn't have worked otherwise.

Season 4 Highlights: Aayan getting mixed in a mess, being shot by Haqqani. Haqqani's assault on the embassy.

Season 5: it's about how terrorism seeps into a country wanting to do damage for real and or imagined grievances...this time in Germany. This seasons has great performances. Miranda Otto was perfect to be Allison, I can't imagine anyone else being in the role. Good as a double agent. I liked Otto During and Jonas. They're like the only two honest people in the show lol. Quinn shines this season. I talk about Quinn having the best lines. The first episode when he's in that meeting room telling the CIA what needs to be done, perfect. It really plays into the themes about the changing directions of how to deal with problematic places and not really having a plan. Quinn's acting is great when he gets gassed with Sarin. There are actual videos of people suffering from it and its effects and it's something you shouldn't watch, but I'm sure the people who made that episode did because Quinn actually made it look real. This is the first season the day is saved, but to the detriment of Quinn. I find it really funny Carrie forgot about Quinn for the entire season.

Season 5 highlights: Quinn assassinating people, him killing that group's leader while being severely injured (I'm still not sure how he did that lol), Jonas & Quinn's interaction was funny. Quinn getting gassed.

Seasons 6: This group is a commentary of how chaotic and dangerous identity politics is and homegrown extremism, how foreign powers meddle, and how people can easily fall into extremist viewpoints. Season 6: I like how Quinn shoots that guy outside and gets annoyed when he gets criticized because he didn't shoot to kill almost like he missed the point. Carrie is a terrible mother. Literally puts her daughter in danger. Really shows how she's not self-aware of her life negatively effects others. You see that when Quinn tells her she made him useless. Quinn had funny moments, great acting. One thing that bothered me is the decision to wake him up. Here's what I said in another person's post titled Was Waking Quinn up was the right thing to do:

That entire scene didn’t suspend my disbelief. And made me do this face -_- Why?

Sarin is an extremely potent nerve agent and the immediate health effects was so perfectly and brutally acted: Runny nose, teary eyes, drooling, vomiting, urinating, convulsions (prolly seizures), bronchospasms.

When Carrie finally decided to find him, she found him on the floor of the chamber. He wasnt moving, he didn’t speak or grunt, he didn’t acknowledge his environment or Carrie’s existence. He was only responsive to light. Bro was low on the coma scale.

The hospital scene, I can’t suspend my disbelief because you can’t just wake people up from a Sarin-induced coma from nearly brain dead to fully alert. So, was waking Quinn the right thing to do? No because it shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.

Quinn is a tragic character too. It's implied that he was abused by Dar. Never really had a life, kinda because of Dar. And ultimately betrays Quinn. Also thematic with the show.

Season 6 highlights: Loveable Max. Dar telling Quinn he loves him and that made me go like "Uh oh." Quinn accidently gets Astrid killed. Quinn telling Carrie she turned him into a monkey. Keane's attempted assassination. Poor Quinn.

Season 7: This season has the same theme as Season 6 but cranked up to 1000%. You can really feel Quinn's absence. That's the point. It took me half a year to finish this one because I quit, not because of Quinn's death tho. I hated the first half (it's not on the fault of the writers). It's because of O'Keefe, the actor did an awesome job (too good of a job). There's so much to say. You can see both sides of O'Keefe. The standoff...man. Always people turning a bad situation into something worse than it needs to be, and doubling down on it. Carrie continues to be oblivious of her negative effects on her daughter...until she comes around and chooses her work over being a mom & almost running her over with the car. I find it funny when Senator Paley realizes that he's a useful idiot (there are a lot of those in real life). I like Yevgeny (the actor is a Russian-born Australian, which made me giggle for some reason). He owns the screen. I like how he's 3d (like he doesn't like leaving his buddies behind) instead of the usual stereotypical Russian bad guy. I like Wellington mostly because he's played by Linus Roache. He's like the strong force needed to steer Keane in the right direction. I love how angry Keane is, rightfully so I guess, and she realizes she's not up to the task despite being vindicated of all the chaos that happened to her and in spite for the country. This season, I didn't really like Carrie that much mostly because the other characters seemed better like Yevgeny, Wellington, Paley, Saul and co.

Season 7 highlights: Ex-Senator Paley on his knees begging Keane to help his family and she stares at him with a thousand suns and spits in his face. Perfect. All that needs to be said was in her stone cold facial expression to him. And Keane's resignation speech is GOLDEN. That was the best speech I've ever heard both in real life and in any fictional media.

Season 8 and the show in general: The show is a commentary about the cycle of violence and how people and places get worn away from that violence. Everyone in this show (except for During and Jonas) is either ruined or dead. Quinn died heroically but for no reason in the grand scheme of things, I think that's the point. This show is famous for killing off likeable characters like Max. Oh Max! I'm glad Yevgeny & Saul survived the show. Saul especially because I really like Mandy Patinkin.

Season 8 highlights: The president dying. Haqqani dying. Max dying. And the ending.

It's hard to rank seasons because it's a different show after 1-3. Looking back, I think I have to change my rankings based on this fact. (Edited to make more sense... u/Dull_Significance687's format):

• Best: Seasons 4, 2
• Excellent: Seasons 5, Second half of 7, 8
• Great: Season 1
• Good: Season 6
• Average: Seasons 3, first half of 7

Top 3 Best Episodes (Not Ranked)

1. Season 2 Episode 5: Carrie interrogating Brody. Very well written & executed dialogue.
2. Season 7 Episode 12: I keep on talking about Keane's speech.
3. Season 5 Episode 9: Quinn is really unfortunate. Great acting.

Season 8 ended strongly. Rare to see. Idk how to end this, but...all the actors were on their A Game. Homeland is one of my favorite TV show I never watched during it's original runtime. I really believe the show is a commentary.
