Earlier thread: ‘Homeland,’ Season 6 Review: A Politically Correct Carrie

For those of you who are familiar with the show, you may recall that in past seasons it was accused of being bigoted toward Muslims because it portrayed radical Islamic terrorists in a bad light. Well, no more. The producers peed all over themselves and capitulated.

After watching the first episode of this season, I bade Homeland farewell and removed it from our DVR subscription list.

I’d been planning on checking the series out, but when I heard about what they were doing with the new season I quickly changed my mind.

Yeah, I know I’m mixing metaphors, but I’m on a roll.

Nearly every mass media creator of any kind is leftist.

Their work eventually mirrors their political positions.

because it portrayed radical Islamic terrorists in a bad light

How else CAN you portray radical Islamic terrorists?

Won’t be watching it any more. They chose storyline to celebrate a Hillary victory in 2016 election.

Instead of watching TV I listen to the radio, get more exercise and read. Can’t say it’s a bad thing.

Stuff coming out of Hollyweird has been so bad lately.

Yes, the first couple of seasons were absolutely outstanding, but it may be going downhill fast.

The acting is still superb, and their portrayal of our intelligence agencies has always been somewhat ambivalent at best, but there’s no question this season so far has taken a clear, virulent anti-American turn. And they obviously expected Hillary to win during the filming like almost all the rest of the “experts” did.

I loved seasons 1 and 2, then it lost its punch, imho. Perhaps different writers, Damien Lewis left, etc.

Season 1 was considered the best first season of any series ever. I got DVDs from my library and binge watched.

I saw this coming last season. I’m not watching anymore. This will probably its last season.

My husband and I are very disappointed in the first two episodes.

Boycott Hollywood. Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I've watched the first several episodes hoping that the “Muzzies are victims” angle was just a temporary head-fake but I guess I was wrong. I'm tuning out from what was once a great show.

I watched Season 1, Episode 1 because of Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers), but couldn’t buy into the premise of a Marine going over to the Muzzies...

Tuned out then and there...PC crappola...

Doctor Who will be following shortly to the dust bin, if the BBC goes ahead with plans to replace the current male Doctor with a black female Doctor ...

So they will soon have all the women in Burqas and have gay hangings? Wife beatings? Honor killings? Suicide bombers? I mean, they might as well go all out
