At the end of last season, following an assassination attempt on her life, President Keane (Marvel) broke her promise to Carrie (Danes) by arresting 200 members of the intelligence community without bringing charges against them, including Saul Berenson (Patinkin). As season seven begins, Carrie has left her job in the White House and moved back to D.C. and is living with her sister Maggie (Amy Hargreaves) to take on the Keane administration and secure the release of the 200.
As so often happens, Homeland becomes a test of how much disbelief you're willing to suspend...Plausibility may be in short supply this season, but sometimes Homeland still gets it right.
The thing is, this entire arc felt like a total distraction...So far, something just feels off about the season, and I'm not talking about the conspiracy that's unfolding.
Again, we have an interesting plot dynamic here in that O'Keefe is clearly modeled after truth-stretching talk show conspiracy theorists, but he's not wrong this time.
I'm still not sure we have a clear enough picture of what this season's plot will look like, but I feel better about the season's prospects after this episode than I did after the premiere.
Thrilling as it is to see a turbocharged Carrie in the field, it shouldn't distract us from the spectacular misjudgments that put her in this position.
