A blonde, white Red Riding Hood lost in a forest of faceless Muslim wolves: This is how “Homeland’s” creators have chosen to represent their show as it begins its fourth season, which sees CIA officer Carrie Mathison stationed in Pakistan. It is also the perfect encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with this show.
Since its first episode, “Homeland,” which returns Sunday, has churned out Islamophobic stereotypes as if its writers were getting paid by the cliché.

I’ve watched Season 1 and 2 DVDs via my local library and should have Season 3 in 10 days.
I love Homeland - really great writing that is also honest about muzzie evil.
Claire Danes and Inigo Montoya are superb in their roles.
Sounds like Reality TV
watching now...
A bit disappointed with opening 2 episodes of the new season but appears Quinn is becoming the moral compass.
I did enjoy the weekend Season 3 marathon - even the hanging scene was intense.
Here’s some reviews of start of Season 4...

I love the show.
Anyone watch last night? What a shocker!
Anyone watch tonight? Even a bigger shocker. Who died? Who will get killed two weeks from now? Will the ambassador’s husband be hung for treason?
Excellent show tonight.
Another excellent episode this evening. On par with 24.
