Homeland: Season 7

"Captures the uncertain, unsteady mood of the nation, without any especially perceptive pieces of headline-ripping."

"Almost can't help but be entertaining, even if the program's best days are clearly behind it."

"Homeland is suffering from an identity crisis."

"It's a pleasure in the season premiere to watch her pulling her gear out of hiding, or duck into a hotel room and put on a disguise - it's like she's getting back into her own skin."

"Homeland is managing to find new ways to stay relevant alongside a political world that it both wants to mirror and subvert."

"These days, though, I find that there are far too many good shows in their prime to spend time on a worn-out but once-fine series."

"[A] fictional (yet studiously relevant) take on America."

"Cast and production still take it seriously, believe in it, and this comes across with every minute's viewing."

"After seven seasons, Showtime has refined the art of bringing us just the right sort of bonkers."
