10/10
Season two: At the same level of greatness, but for different reasons (The Choice is a shocking ending)
13 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Season two of Homeland stills being golden TV if this time some of its surprising touch is a bit lost. It's an intriguing and engaging plot which still delivering a superb and believable character development. This season confirmed everyone that this show still rocks mostly thanking its two stars: Brody & Carrie. They are the show!.

The shadow of doubt that made you insecure on every moment in previous season is partially lost there. That is a weakness to this series, but this thing doesn't ruin anything. It's always difficult to maintain anything at one high level. Soon or late, the cards must be placed on the table. And in Season two, every ace is in. Also the show is more dynamic, tense and adrenaline rush now. So, in fact, that is an improvement on its pace.

Claire Danes & Damian Lewis both deliver gripping performances. They help the show reaching higher levels than no one could have ever predicted.

And its season finale is even shocker than the previous if it doesn't mean that could be better. I was so more mesmerized with Marine One than this one. But this is a 10 stars finale. It's surprising, dramatic and in fact closes an era. The main story arc that let this show start ends here. And what an ending!. The shadow of doubt returns here, and I loved how the Brody's video was used here. Homeland comes full circle here despite leaving some inevitably questions. But, hey: that is Homeland! 10/10.
