    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The title "the smile" comes from Carrie's reaction after evading her pursuer in Beirut.
    • Goofs
      While the Lebanese security chase after Saul (in about 9:07) there's a green sign in Hebrew denoting a garage ("shnap"). However, they speak Arabic in Beirut. The shooting location was in Jaffa, Israel.
    • Quotes

      Carrie Mathison: What do you want?

      Danny Galvez: Estes needs to see you.

      Carrie Mathison: Tell him to fuck off.

    What a nice,exiting premiere
    I'm not going to spoil anything because i think its not a nice work to explain the story in a review especially for a TV series like Homeland.First season had exiting and surprising moments but i'm sure that this season is going to rock ,"The Smile" is one of the best premiere of this year and month TV Shows ,its exiting and at the end you can't hold your self until the next week like me (:d).The directing and script writing is nice and this show has a potential to have at least 5 or 6 seasons.Next episodes are going to be epic and more exiting than this nice,well directed episode .Don't lose this show whoever you are !
