'Homeland'

Quite an ending for 'Homeland'. Consistently interesting, occasionally erratic series. Numerous bumps throughout (remember the graffiti?) and many other issues. Somewhere out there is a thesis waiting to be written on 'Homeland' and representation concerns - I'd be happy to supervise!!

On the positive side: Clare Danes' great acting held the suspenseful finale together, with Kamasi Washington's magnificent playing!
