I’m glad. Jumped the shark a few years ago. Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin are tedious, one note actors. It became unwatchable after Damian Lewis and Rupert Friend left the show AND then they mocked up an Alex Jones character.
Yes, they were pretty brutal with the ‘Brett O’Keefe’ character, casting him as the ultimate phony incapable of even handing the most basic firearm.

I agree, somewhat.
The last season seemed too haphazardly contrived, even for Homeland. I still watched it as was moderately interested in each new episode.
Previous seasons they seemed to be on the leading edge of geopolitical/intelligence social issues (at least for a television series), such as tackling the use of drones or terror cells in Germany. But the last few seasons seemed far to excited about Hilary becoming POTUS and attempting to forecast social issues surrounding her, which backfired for obvious reasons.
I’ll still watch it though.
When they killed off Rupert Friend’s character, Peter Quinn, I quit watching. He was the best thing about the show. And I was less interested in the show after they turned him crazy after the chemical attack.
