I do like Homeland, but it did kind of lose it's whole raison d'etre after we discovered all of Brody and Carrie's secrets. It just turned into a better version of Spooks.
Just realised that Channel 4 don't appear to be repeating the last series before the new one starts next Sunday which they have done in the past.

Homeland
12/12 - 3, The Star
Carrie and Brody seek refuge at the edge of the desert as security forces close in, and while Saul plans a last-ditch rescue operation, the former marine struggles to find redemption. Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin star in the CIA thriller. Last in the series.
Really enjoyed Homeland tonight. I was worried because I didn't know if the show could survive without Brody - but it coped absolutely fine without him.
It felt fresh and getting rid of the Brody family was a good call as they're no longer needed now. Overall, a very good start for a rebooted Homeland. Roll on next Sunday!
We had convinced ourselves it was going to be rubbish, but we gave it a whirl and were glad we did. Off to a good start, but we really struggled to hear the dialogue from some actors, particularly the tall black guy in the ops room at the beginning. Very bad, slurry diction.
My memory must be getting worse..... I don't even remember Carrie being pregnant at the end of last series! I watch far too many series on TV and every time a new season starts, I don't remember anything from the last one and have to go look up recaps on the internet!

She was pregnant all the way through the last series!

I felt the same and glad I watched it now but like yourself thought I was going deaf in parts

I replayed that and yes , but he had a very low voice. Best use subtitles?
A good start anyway , we have a clear picture. Carrie's looking less bugeyed,less frantic,in fact less concerned. Her reaction to Quinn's discomfort was to pile even more onto him .
There didn't seem to be enough cars parked outside the farmhouse for all those people. How did they all get there?
Taxi?
When you saw the satellite feed it looked like it was out in the middle of nowhere. In the morning (the morning after a building exploded around him) the young lad goes outside and it appears to be a village/small town.
Still, a new threat is an exciting prospect, although I must have hardened my heart lately what with all the real life terrorism because I was thinking, "so they killed a terrorist and 40 guests at a wedding party - ah, f*** them all".
Good to see Carrie's mental state is a bit better...for now.
Comments
oh ok thanks, I didn't notice that.
Wait until see you see what Quinn gets up too....
Don't be saying that, he's my favourite!

I’ll be very surprised if it isn’t, the EPG listing is probably just an error.
So we’ll actually be 2 weeks behind the US pace?
Well i suppose you could put it like that.
Looking forward to the opener tonight.

Especially as they seemed to be regular unarmed citizens and not militia or the like.
