Homeland

Season 8 – Final Season

This season started out the Carrie getting release as a Russian prisoner. The CIA put her in a psychiatric facility so they could test her and see if she had been compromised. I was interesting to see how Carrie is trying to get herself back together. She spend over seven months captured and I’m sure tortured.

As the episode continues, Saul wants to use Carrie for his bidding overseas. Carrie, in his mind, is the best and she is. He knows she will do what it takes to keep the country safe.

Carrie is struggling throughout a few episodes and as always, she has to do thing her way, which is what makes the show interesting. She goes off on her adventures and everyone is looking for her.

The best episode was the final one. Carrie is trying to get the black box that was as the crash site when the helicopter with down with very important people in them that died. The only way she can get it is to make a deal with the Russians. Carrie is trying to get Saul to give her information on who his Russian spy is and he would not do it. She is even told by Yevgeny that if she kills Saul, she could get the information; because Saul would have left something for her in his passing. Carrie is seriously thinking about doing it. She even drugs Saul to make him tell her but it does not work. She goes to Saul’s sisters house and even tells her that Saul is dead. Saul’s sister believes her, and Carrie gets the envelope left for her by Saul. She is that desperate to get Saul’s spy information. Carrie gets the name of the contact, which gets Russian spy killed later. After leaving Saul’s sister’s house, she goes off the Yevgeny.

Saul is rescued by his colleagues and he is very disappointed in Carrie. It fast forwards to Saul moving out of his house and is sister helping. He is contacted by a book store owner that he has a package. Saul being very suspicious goes to get the package. It’s a book. It’s a book written by Carrie. Saul scans the book and looks for a secret code and is delighted to see that Carrie has a message for him.

They show Carrie living in Russia. She is getting dressed for a concert with Yevgeny at her side; they have been living together now for two years. She is now a spy with Saul as her contact. In the end, Carrie is keeping her country safe.

The show is worth watching.
