Homeland: Tower of David (2013)
What did I just watch?!
No lessons have been learned from past episodes and, at this rate, I do not expect this show to dig through the dunghill its writers have securely placed it under. This episode offered no redeemable aspects that may continue drawing viewers to what was once an admirably designed show with a protagonist equal parts enigma, humanity and menace.
What we're being served with Season 3 of Homeland, and episode 3 in particular, is an uninspired setting (Venezuela? Really America? What's next, North Korea?), limp characterization (nondescript Latin American thugs, cookie-cutter female sympathizer waiting to be swept off her feet, lurid attempts at shock with Dr. Voodoo and his morbid association with a child protégé), and clueless writing with generic dialogues and complete disregard for past seasons.
This show is becoming increasingly erratic and draws on such clichés that I can't see it lifting itself from a steady slide into dullness.
