Just binged on HL. One of the most incredible series I’ve ever seen. What a cast… the writers, direction and production … I’ll be bereft when it’s over.

[tijana]

The best show I have ever seen. I really don't think there will ever be a show that will be able to top it. It broke me in a way I have never considered possible. I stand in awe of the team behind every second of the series. Love you guys.

The best series ever; characters, plots, humanity, actors, filming...everything. Just binged it for a second time and already miss it.

It was good to hear thier thought from creators directly. I began to see this show recently and I am just about to see Season 8. I cannot still get over Quinn. Carrie and Saul was also amazing!

Binged all 8 seasons recently and just finished it last night. A great and nuanced show and their research and due diligence to the art of compelling storytelling shows through their production. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[MM-tiyk]

One of the best shows ever!!! Amazing!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[guitarsz]

They are a great bunch. I love that they make jokes to make up for the gravity of the storytelling. One of my all time favorite shows.

It is so accurate and true

17:12 Brody's story is tragic ... He was a Marine who was destroyed and rebuilt by the enemy to be defeated repeatedly. Pushed back and to another place. His loyalty was to whoever gave him the best chance to survive. He never had a chance. No one can judge you by the horrors you endured. And also the ones he caused. Having to live and observe the lives he destroyed around him took everything away from him. Carrie hoped to find redemption for him. Brody knew his destiny was to die. In her last moments, she made a point of being there. To witness this, its truth, its history when it finally came to an end.

Saul agreed to kill Brody when they thought he had turned around again. After completing the mission, Saul fulfilled his promise and immediately organized the escape plan. Dar Adal and Senator Lockhart betrayed Saul and canceled the rescue plan because they wanted Brody to be found and executed so that Javadi was chosen to influence Iran's leadership. Furthermore, they thought the mission was too risky.

And due to his history, he cannot be honored ... His story was so sad! He deserved better - Brody made a mistake.

He's not a terrorist. He is a person with a broken spirit. They broke his mind, yes, now he too was a victim of "fate" or fatality.

Nicholas Brody are Dorothy's 3 companions: he lost his heart with the death of Issa (Tin Man), he lost his mind (after 8 years of torture and brainwash) and he lost his soul with his actions (Leo).

It broke your soul. He fell in love with Carrie Mathison, who was on his way to redemption.

Homeland is just too great. I mean too great. I watch 8 season in 7 days, literally only stop for sleep. The tough choice to make the job done, helpless and unapologize of Carrie Mathison is just make me obsessed. A lot of the event of the show is just giving me "Just life, it is what it is" feeling, which make the character so human. Really great!!! Is the only thing I can say

[buttyboy]

A very interesting interview and one which with complete honesty I thoroughly enjoyed. Never known a full hour pass so quickly. I anxiously await news of Season 9 and more.

HOMELAND Is The Best serie in the world 😭🇺🇸♥️🇮🇱🌠👏🏻✡️

[ennediend]

I loved 24 as best TV show ever.
Until I watched Homeland...
Homeland is ...HUGE ! 🤗
Greetings from France.

[TheOriginalOneBehnzoE]

Phenomenal writing and acting hope to see more show's like this in the future we need it.

[aquariusrizing]

Most compelling tv ever. I was obsessed with it. Still am.

[wurstgitarre]

Aside from Jennifer Carpenter's acting in Dexter, Claire Danes' portrayal of Carrie Mathison is probably the best acting I have ever seen 👌

[irenejansen]

My heart broke when Brody died and again when the Quinn relationship didn't happen and again when he was crippled and again when he died. I cried so much during the sad scenes. Real tears

I binge-watched Homeland about 5 years ago - and I am rewatching it again. It's too interesting to not go on to the next episode. I have caught the details more in the 2nd watching, and if something confuses me (like season 6) I read about it - and it becomes clearer.

I think this is the best series that i have ever seen - it's so enlightening - each season tells a story in itself!!! I know what's going to happen, but I had forgotten all the details that have now become so interesting to me!!! I have to understand it completely before moving on...I wish there were more shows like this - I won't be binge-watching after this - for at least 5 years but I will again when the urge hits me.

Great writing, great acting, I feel like I know these people !!! I already know what happens at the very end, and all I can remember is my thinking is - it was brilliant!

[gherjos]

“I guess” cz of these great actors in Homeland, actually all of them, these great writers, creators, director & everyone involved behind the scenes always have had new ideas to go on with show for another seasons after Brodys death. & I even think in a way the door is still open for them to go beyond season 8. Focusing on the last msg sent from Carrie to Saul saying “stay tuned” is an open door for these great writers to create a season every year. With this type of very talented actors, fantastic writers, amazing director, Homeland can go on forever. Great job. God bless u all.
