9.9 Top 20 episode of tv One of the most intense, stressful and well acted episodes I’ve every watched like I was genuinely sweating and those performances from Damian Lewis and Claire Danes were just mind blowing. Incredible writing, acting, tension, direction and storytelling easily one of the best episodes and season finales ever. So much depth from start to finish I’m shocked how amazing this was and I can’t wait for what’s next. Everyone should watch Homeland this is genuinely peak tv This episode really has some of my favorite scenes in tv. Brody’s final moments (what he thinks are) with his family had so much depth and complexity this episode and last, it was so well done. All of Carries scenes were truly spectacular and so sad I feel so bad for her. The direction of her character is heading in is tragic. Saul, Dana and Jessica were all also outstanding, just incredible performances and scenes. Perfect conclusion to a near perfect first season of tv.
