At its heart, however, Homeland is a love story—the most dysfunctional and compelling love story on television. The bond between Carrie and Saul is not romantic, but it is far deeper. It is the love between a master and an apprentice, a father and a daughter, a handler and his best asset. Saul is the conscience that Carrie pretends to ignore; she is the ruthless instrument he is too ethical to be. Their relationship is built on a shared, unspoken belief that the Republic is worth saving, even if it means lying, torturing, or sacrificing one another. In the final scene of the series, Saul watches a video feed of Carrie in Moscow, a traitor by design, and he holds up a small, worn copy of Robinson Crusoe —a signal, a prayer, a reminder of who she once was. It is a moment of profound, silent grief. He has won the intelligence victory of a lifetime, and it cost him his only equal.
A visceral, award-winning thriller focused on the psychological battle between Carrie Mathison and the returned POW, Nicholas Brody. The Global Reboot (Seasons 4–5):
Opposite her, Damian Lewis did the impossible. He humanized a potential terrorist. Brody was a mirror for the audience’s anxieties about the post-9/11 world. Lewis managed to convey a man at war with his own soul, shifting seamlessly between a loving father, a traumatized veteran, and a calculating operative. When the show eventually pivoted away from the Brody storyline, it faced its biggest creative test.
