Storyline

The winner of 6 Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series, Homeland is an edge-of-your-seat sensation. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody is both a decorated hero and a serious threat. CIA officer Carrie Mathison is tops in her field despite being bipolar. The delicate dance these two complex characters perform, built on lies, suspicion, and desire, is at the heart of this gripping, emotional thriller in which nothing short of the fate of our nation is at stake.

Trivia

The sixth season was filmed in the run-up to the 2016 Presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The producers were predicting a victory for Clinton, so Elizabeth Marvel was cast as the President-elect to parallel current events. When Trump unexpectedly won the election, creator Alex Gansa chose not to re-shoot, as the series is ultimately a work of fiction. Given the storyline (a new president, a transfer of power), the season premiered three months later than usual (in January), placing it directly between the actual election and inauguration.

User Reviews

Much better than 24

people have tried to compare it to 24 but its much better than that even i loved the show, why? because it's much more believable and convincing. The scripting is great the dating is great the sub plots are great and the main plot is something we cannot put our finger on it, is he or isn't he? I love the way it's going and i have my views on which i'll keep to myself. I think Claire Danesas being slightly unhinged and manic is brilliant as that actually helps her to get the job done in a strange kind of way.

Excellent show, which the main networks couldn't or wouldn't be able to produce..........
