Not a single comment on last week's first episode – time was when this was must-see TV. I can't say I'm surprised that Quinn has been resurrected and he is very watchable, but how nonsensical. If they were going to do that they should have gassed him with something less fatal!
I can't say I care much what happens to Carrie though I do like the sparring between Saul and Dar and it looks as if their relationship with the new president will be sparky as well. But it's one to record and watch when I have time.

I watched it. Would be quite happy to say goodbye to Carrie, now the guardian of Muslims' rights. A tad ironic.
I was quite annoyed by Quinn's plight. I did wonder if he was undercover but it seems not. So is that the best they do for agents who have been almost lethally gassed in the nation's war on terror? Not much is it? Why isn't he in some comfortable hospital in beautiful grounds rather than what looks like a state asylum! I know Carrie said he wouldn't let her pay for him, but don't the CIA look after their own? I know he was sort of off books but he was still working for Saul.

Is anyone still watching? And if so, do you know what the heck is going on? Everyone seems to be spying on everyone else. And how did Carrie come to have the ear of the president-elect? Carrie-doesn't-take-her-meds-breaks-every-rule-in-the-book-gets-other-people-killed-Carrie? I'm a little in love with Saul so keep watching (in the hope he'll burst into song but I suspect not ...).

Not to mention the Carrie who immediately talks to the forbidden witness and screws up her client! What a gal! Why any president elect would listen to her (or indeed KNOW about her) is beyond belief! I keep hoping Quinn is bluffing for some undercover purpose as I don't like to see him in this state.

I've been binge-watching this series in the last few days (still have episodes 10 & 11 to watch before the finale tomorrow night). I don't like to see Quinn like that either, but Rupert Friend's acting gets top marks from me.

Ha! Forgot to record it and C4 catchup is a real pain to use. Is it worth it?

Can't say whether it's worth it, having never watched any of 'Homeland' - but if you want to avoid C4 catch up it's repeated tonight on 4seven at ten minutes past midnight.

Well, the new series is a treat for conspiracy theorists, but I think I prefer the series which were set abroad - more authentic, I felt. But what do I know? The truth is probably much, much stranger than fiction.
Conversely, I preferred the Spooks series which were set in the UK and had a different story every week. I found the interminable and complex plots re Iran rather tedious.
Also, I’m suffering from the loss of Quinn. What a wonderful character he was - indomitable to the end......

I’m still watching this but it seems like no one else is?
Still very near to real life including poison absorbed through skin, who is controlling fake news etc (but what do we civilians know?)
Pity the writers predicted the wrong gender of POTUS, but who could blame them?
