The final few episodes are terrific, but they also show that the writers just didn’t know what to do with Brody’s family after season 1. Morena Baccarin doesn’t get anything to do, there’s no emotional pay off to the storyline with the daughter, it’s just very poorly handled. Also, there’s one nonsensical storyline in the first half of the season (you’ll know it when you’ll see it), and in general, this season is far less focussed than the second season, and particularly the first season. Nevertheless, it still delivers the thrills, and its still well made, so I do recommend it.
Arithmetic mean of my episode ratings: 8.25
Sounds about right. It's a solid season. I've lost one of my reasons for watching now that Damian Lewis's character is dead, though. I can only hope the next season continues to be solid with the casting shakeup that seems to be inbound.

This was an excellent and stellar season! It has a perfect amount of drama, tension, emotions, and plot. I understand that some people are a bit saddened by some cast members not being so prominent this season, but I find those concerns a bit unnecessary. This season was meant to provide closure to this saga of Homeland, with the story of Nicholas Brody receiving its due end. It was an ending that I really appreciated, respecting his memory and being poetic in a way. That star scribbled into the wall with a marker was a perfect representation of Brody. He was rough around the edges and did many horrific acts, but he also pulled through and salvaged himself enough to do real good for the world. It was a message that I appreciated.
