Homeland fans are eyeing the show's upcoming fourth season with trepidation. After last year's slog through unnecessary plot arcs, the show fell out of favor with viewers. But then the finale slammed us with an intriguing twist, making us wonder where writers would take things next. The new season begins tonight, answering the question that's been on viewers' minds: Will Homeland return as the series we once loved? (Before reading ahead, know that this piece contains spoilers.)
First, let's look back at the end of last season. Fans were shocked when would-be terrorist Sgt. Nicholas Brody ( Damian Lewis) was publicly executed in Iran after a CIA mission. His lover, agency operative Carrie Mathison ( Claire Danes), watched him die while pregnant with his child.
Viewers didn't see the plot twist coming, but the dramatic end to the lead characters' tumultuous relationship was praised. There was no steam left in the couple's storyline, plus we welcomed the end of plot arcs about Brody's beleaguered family. Come on, no one will miss Dana Brody's teenage drama, or even her dad's random heroin addiction in Venezuela.
After Homeland's meandering third season, why should viewers tune in this year? We've got three reasons why you won't want to miss Homeland 's new episodes.
