The Homeland Season 6 premiere is more prescient than ever as an intelligence community and incoming president cross paths.
This Homeland review contains spoilers.
Homeland Season 6 Episode 1
Not since perhaps its first year has aHomelandseason premiered at a more appropriate time.
So here was Carrie Mathison to bear the cross of our waning apprehensions for us.
So there has never been a better time in the shows history for Carrie Mathison to return.
Were all bearing that cross with her now.
Hence with an open-mind, I beginHomelandseason 6.
Hillary Clinton more than her orange-haired and loud-mouthed rival.
Not yet, anyway.
For the most part, Fair Game is exactly what it says: fair.
And the name of that lingering anguish is Peter Quinn.
Brody resisted the thought that he might still be the same guy underneath until it was too late.
Quinn is that man, but he never will be able to bring him fully to the surface again.
And too few have their own Carries.
Its a poignant and uncomfortable can of worms season 6 has opened up.
I hope to see it continue to be explored fully.
If there was a reason for this character to be in the series, it remains a mystery.
Carrie working as a bleeding heart is a development that was first signaled last season.
Sekou is intentionally left in a mist of zero-visibility.
Clintons emails less than two weeks before the election.
However, whatever damage it did was definitely done.
After Trump continued to discredit intelligence communities in this country, the unverifiable yet scandalous accusations become not-so-inexplicably public.
Still, the fact that it will go there makesHomelandits most prescient to date.
That in itself makes season 6 fascinatingly ripe with possibilities.
It also allows this relatively gingerly-paced premiere to be more gripping than it otherwise could have been.
PleaseHomeland, predict what other kind of implausible twists that 2017 will have for us next!
