Season 6 of Homeland premiers later tonight and its opening episode, “Fair Game,” is a canny mirror of political tensions in America today. The action picks up in New York, where Carrie (Claire Danes) is lending her help to a law firm intent on improving the lot of Muslims unfairly targeted by the system. Several months have passed since season 5, and Carrie is clearly keen to give back.
Claire Danes, as ever, does a terrific job in the role, imbuing the character with a burning intensity that borders on the unhinged. At turns caring, genial and manic, there are layers of complexity here that lesser actors would fail to pull off and without Danes, Homeland would surely sink.
Carrie’s turn in New York coincides with a new President being readied for her inauguration; a president at odds with the intelligence system. Step forth Elizabeth Keane.
