TV show description:
Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is a volatile CIA operations officer who’s been assigned to the Counterterrorism Center. She was recently recalled from Baghdad because she angered the Iraqi government.
Carrie is liked and trusted by her mentor and former boss, CIA Middle-East Division Chief Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin). She’s only tolerated by her current boss, director David Estes (David Harewood). She previously had an extramarital affair with him.
While both men know Carrie very well, neither of them (nor anyone else at the agency) know that Carrie suffers from bipolar disorder. She is being secretly treated by her sister, psychiatrist Maggie Mathison (Amy Hargreaves).
Carrie hears a rumor from one of her contacts that an American POW (prisoner of war) has been “turned” into an al-Qaeda-trained terrorist. Soon after, she learns that American forces have found Marine platoon sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis). An expert sniper, Brody had been believed killed eight years earlier.
While the rest of the CIA and the political establishment believes Brody to be a war hero, Carrie is worried that he has been recruited and brainwashed by al Qaeda chief Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) to act as a sleeper agent. She begins illegal surveillance of Brody’s home, hoping to substantiate her suspicions.
Back in America after so many years, Brody struggles to resume his domestic life. Believing that he was dead, his wife Jessica (Morena Baccarin) has been having a relationship with his best friend, Marine Captain Mike Faber (Diego Klattenhoff). In addition, Brody’s two children, Chris (Jackson Pace) and Dana (Morgan Saylor), are strangers to him. His readjustment is complicated by his erratic behavior.
Episode #96 — Prisoners of War
Saul and Carrie’s final mission comes to a conclusion.
First aired: April 26, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the Homeland TV series? Do you think it should have ended with season eight? Would you have watched season nine on Showtime?
This is one of the best FBI style shows I have seen . It’s cast well . The acting is good all around and the writing is adult and intelligent, not to mention dramatic . The Carrie character well done . Kind of like a spy novel updated to the middle east situation . Perhaps a few leaps but entertaining .
That show is the primary reason I pay for Showtime…..very up to date show
Definitely. I pay for Showtime so I can watch Homeland, It’s my favorite show. I really hope they come back for more seasons!
Horribly written and incredibly unrealistic shows no knowledge of real world even at a superficial level
I don’t know why it would be canceled the show is good and always has something good going on. I would keep watching it love the players on here as well. I don’t know why you keep canceling the good shows.
Have watched from the beginning, always keeps me a the edge of my seat. So many twists and turns. Hate to see another great show disappear.Would love to see more seasons.Can hardly wait for each season to come out.
Love this show….have watched it from the first episode. Love Claire D. and all the other actors. Please keep this show going. It’s the bomb no pun intended!!!!
I love this show. It is realist . I have been a faithful viewer since the first episode in Oct 2011. Why is this wonderful dhow being cancelled?
I love this show! I am a faithful viewer since episode 1 in Oct 2011…why is showtime cancelling this fantastic show???
I just began watching…I have gone back and watched seasons 1-2 now on 3. I have to say I loved it but know find it repetitive ….Carrie gets herself stable then flushes her meds down the toilet….goes off…gets stable….throws her meds out….I would like to know what were ALL those pregnancy test sticks in Season 3!!!
Best show EVER! I love every episode. Great acting & writing. I hope it stays for a long time!!
This is one of the best shows ever – it should be renewed for at least 2 more seasons and beyond. Keeps you on your toes – the scary part is that the incidents have been played out in real life-providing lots of material for new episodes. Please keep it going! Love Mandy Patinkin and Clare Danes!
Excellent series! Do NOT cancel!!
continius best show ever teach to be preparer for anything againt hatter people
One of the most interesting series I’ve ever seen – well written with well developed characters – relevant plots. Hope it is not cancelled.
