While some believe that Homeland has “jumped the shark” more than once, it’s remained one of Showtime’s most popular series. Will it be renewed for a fifth season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned to find out.
On Homeland, CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is one of the best in her field, despite being bipolar, which makes her volatile and unpredictable. With the help of her long-time mentor Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), Carrie fearlessly risks everything, including her personal well-being and even sanity, to do what she feels must be done. The rest of the cast includes Rupert Friend, F. Murray Abraham, Sarita Choudhury, Tracy Letts, Nazanin Boniadi, and Laila Robins.

What do you think? Do you like the Homeland TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Losing Brody KILLED the show… Why woman are so insecure about “oh we needmore strong woman”… realy? why not “we need great shows with great actors(actresses)… Damien Lewis was awesome. Claire realy couldn’t hold a candle. Her big ego lead to this mess.
Season 4 is picking up. But the season is just about over with just the finale left. Bring in some new characters. Some of the cast lost in season’s 2 bomb attack gave the show some flavor.
I don’t miss Brody and I really enjoyed this season. I thought the baby was getting abducted and quinn and Carrie were going on a new quest. Renew it.
This show continues it’s downhill slide. Too bad it used to be decent. Killing brody killed this show, proof in the “real” ratings slide.
Love “Homeland.” It is very intriguing and Claire Dane is a strong woman, which we need more of on television. I’m glad it’s been renewed for a 5th season. What I’m upset about is that Comcast only has the first 4 episodes On Demand. And they haven’t been shown on Showtime either because I either DVR them or watch them the next day and they are not there. Come on Comcast.
So glad brody is gone, he was just dragging the show down. Expecially brodys family! Season 4 has been a nail biter and just keeps getting better and better, love where it’s heading!
Great show!!! Last episodes were very interesting!
Done. Not watching season 4 after viewing 2nd episode.
Why?
New season looks like something I’ve already seen before a dozen times, Maybe in 24 Hours or in Strike back. Not interested anymore.
They should have closed it after season 3.
I love this show. So far this season has started great! Hope they keep the momentum this year as last year was a little slower than previous seasons.
I have been a fan since season one. Carrie (Claire Dane) is a great actress and makes the show. She plays her role so well I love her
Keep this one going. It is one of the great shows.
An interesting show. It “grabs” me week by week. I like the characters & storyline. I hope it is kept on & on. I find that before I know it — the end of the hour has come. BVery good acting.
I’m confused or it’s too early in the a.m., does the chart reflect reruns, since the new (4th) season began a couple of weeks ago?
It was the wrong chart. Thanks for the note.
Thank goodness they got rid of Brody, he was getting annoying. So far, the fourth season looks interesting. Let’s see.
