Homeland returns Sunday with a brand new season after having it's best seasons since it's first season.
The series starts off two to three year jump, Carrie is with her daughter and celebrating her birthday. She tends to have a happy life, working for a security consult for a German Billionaire Company During Foundation in Germany and having a love interest in her life. But with all this happiness, it all must go away.
When two German hackers try to put a parody video on an online recruiting website, the CIA in Germany gets hacked by the two Germans and looses over 1600 files. Saul isn't to happy and tries to fix it by opening it up to the German officials about how there was files of surveillance tapes. So this is sort of based on what the US had done with Germany that had a bit of trouble a year or so ago.
Peter Quinn seems more quiet in this episode with only a few scenes but left those scenes bold. Informing the intelligence about his thoughts about ISIS and given his two cents to an official. Just thinking back to last season, would he be a different person if he was with Carrie. I, for one, think it was smart for not having Quinn and Carrie together.
As I said before about Carrie, what seemed to be a happy life won't last long for her. During informs her that they'll be going to Lebanon to help the refugees, even though she disagrees on going. She gets kidnapped for trying to get some help with getting protection in Lebanon. She seemed to get what she wanted but I don't think she wants to do it.
We see her and Saul together for the first time, they don't look to happy. Saul doesn't approve to where Carrie is working for, knowing that it's just a blanking mistake. I love these two characters and it's one of the best duos on television.
This season starts off strong. The characters are at a good point and with this situation. After a very, very strong season, I can't wait to see where this will be heading to. This show has always given theses characters in grey situations.
Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
You can catch Homeland Sunday nights at 9/8c on Showtime.
