	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[8th Season Review]: For three episodes, it's a lot of Carrie looking uncertain and Saul looking hopeful and no clear sense of what the final season hook actually is (...) That hook comes aggressively in the fourth"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[8th Season Review]: The early episodes are a strong start to a complicated goodbye (...) Danes’ remarkably elastic visage is put to good work yet again"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"[8th Season Review]: The first four episodes of the season have their wild plot lurches but also the gimlet eye for human nature of 'Homeland' at its best."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[8th Season Review]: A show that stood among TV's best in its first season (...) approaches the finish line needing a strong kick to overcome a sense that the end is overdue."	NEU
United States	Cory Barker TV Guide	"[8th Season Review]: 'Homeland' has effectively aged better than most shows (...) [It] still succeeds chiefly because of Danes (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"[8th Season Review]: The first four episodes made available for review plod along (...) But then, just as I’m about to write off this final season, something happens at the end of the fourth episode that pulls me right back in"	NEU
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"[8th Season Review]: Fans of 'Homeland' will welcome the opportunity to see Carrie and Saul battle against terrorism one last time, even if takes a little while to get going."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[7th Season Review]: Not an explosive season opener, but fairly tense"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[7th Season Review]: Creating a compelling narrative from real-world parallels has always been a specialty of the Showtime drama, but this year feels particularly aggressive. Everyone is on edge."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[7th Season Review]: Judging from one episode, there’s something off about the seventh season and someone sorely missed (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[7th Season Review]: The series does force the audience to question its assumptions (...) [It lacks] the urgency and hyper-relevance that characterized and energized the show at its peak"	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[6th Season Review]: We look forward to the questions almost as much as to the answers. In the meantime, there’s more than enough pleasure to be had from the cast to keep us interested (...) Ms. Danes continues to deliver an interesting and sympathetic portrayal."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[6th Season Review]: Just because these first two episodes are going for something slower and ostensibly more thoughtful doesn't mean it won't be back on '24' terrain by midseason, and that probably wouldn't hurt, because these early episodes aren't really what 'Homeland' does best."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[6th Season Review]: We know these characters quite well. The extreme situations surrounding them force development and drama, but the writers know to craft seemingly innocuous dialogue that cuts deep or casually incorporate key details that come back in a big way."	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"[6th Season Review]: Entering season 6, 'Homeland' faces the challenge of age. More than ever, it needs annual, rejuvenating shots of ripped-from-the-headlines zeitgeist."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[5th Season Review]: The series has morphed into a slightly different animal than the one that made it a phenomenon (...) Yet unlike that incarnation — which burned brightly, then flamed out — this one, while less spectacular, is more readily built to last."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[5th Season Review]: After a superb fourth season, 'Homeland' is searching for what made it great to begin with — and may have struck gold."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[5th Season Review]: The Showtime favorite's fifth season starts slow but gathers steam."	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"[5th Season Review]: [The] sometimes-erratic thrill ride is back in top form in its fifth season."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[4th Season Review]: A restart kick-starts (...) Who remembers the old "Homeland"? Good... now forget the old "Homeland." We are all back at zero (...) feels as fresh, important and relevant as yesterday's news -- or tomorrow's news. A bracing, intelligent start."	POS
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"[4th Season Review]: Showtime's spy thriller is back with fresh intelligence (...) Homeland has just set us up to want more. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[4th Season Review]: The show feels new again, but that doesn’t mean it feels fully refreshed. Nor is it immune to painting itself into the same sort of corners it got stuck in before."	NEU
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[4th Season Review]: I do believe the Showtime drama has markedly improved. (...) The rebooted Homeland promises to be an engaging, streamlined CIA thriller with a few big ideas about America and the war on terrorism."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"[4th Season Review]: "The first hour is truly thrilling (....) There is a lot going on this season, but the focus is back on Carrie. "	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: The series returns for its second season without missing a heart-pounding beat. (...) Homeland is as riveting and addictive as when we last saw it, kicking off with no lull in the pulse-pounding action."	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"The best thriller on American TV (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"A complex, paranoid espionage tale (...) Danes and Lewis are near-flawless, keeping you off-balance and absorbed (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"An intense, subtly written cat-and-mouse game but also one that has something implicitly to say about where America is post–Bin Laden’s death"	POS
