Homeland Season 8 Dvd Release Date

The season (and series) finale was based on comparing Carrie to what Brody had to do to defend the United States from foreign threats. Seeing in the last episode the video that Brody records delivering his confession and oath to the country, was parallel to the decision that Carrie had to make in this ending, even though that was betraying her mentor. And it is that over time Carrie became disappointed with the system and even with her own government, which is why she began to choose to do what she considered correct for her nation. This season initially questioned whether or not Carrie handed over information that would compromise an informant or their country, but finally, it is more than clear to us that getting information that involves his country is something impossible for Carrie Mathison.

The showrunners decided to set up a final showdown between Carrie and Saul, featuring tough decision-making, risk, and high tension. This decision was striking because they opposed two people with completely different points of view, with opposite ways of acting, but who sought the same goal.

Carrie manages to find the name of the undercover agent and turns it over to the Russians in exchange for public confirmation that the president’s death was an accident. In this way, Carrie manages to avoid a war in the Middle East, but at the same time, she loses her relationship with Saul and sacrifices her life, having to escape from the United States. While Saul, inches from dying from a flat tire, stood his ground and followed his principles, he nonetheless had to lose his two most important working relationships.

Finally, the series ends by reaffirming the principles of Carrie’s character, who despite giving up her daughter and her life, maintains her identity and patriotism. She is willing to hand over information that will help her nation and somehow pay off that debt she incurred by handing Anna over to the Russians. A correct, sober, and dignified ending to Homeland, which did not need great paraphernalia or bombs to say goodbye to its faithful fans.

An American soldier believed dead in Iraq returns after ten years of disappearance. But after excitement about his return home dies down, suspicions arise as to whether he really is an American hero or part of a sleeper cell plotting a terrorist attack.
