Homeland	comment	Homeland (2011-2020) is a psychological Spy Drama loosely based off the Israeli series Hatufim (literally "Abductees", English title Prisoners of War) sharing an executive producer, co-developed by Gideon Raff, Alex Gansa and Alex Bererson, produced by Showtime and set during The War on Terror.A raid on a terrorist safehouse in the Middle East leads to the rescue of USMC Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), who has been missing in action for eight years. Brody receives a hero's welcome from his wife Jessica (Morena Baccarin), CIA Deputy Director David Estes (David Harewood), the Vice President and the entire country — but not from Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), a former CIA Operations Officer. Based on intelligence from her last (and completely unauthorised) mission, Carrie believes that Brody is a sleeper agent waiting to be activated. With the help of her mentor, CIA Middle East section chief Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), Carrie sets out to prove that Brody, seen by the world as an American hero, is really a traitor.The show premiered in October 2011 as a Sunday Evening Drama Series and has won Golden Globes and Emmys for best series and best main actors (both Danes and Lewis) in the drama category. In April 2018, Claire Danes confirmed that the eighth season is the final season which was released on February 9, 2020.

Homeland / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: Dick Johnson, the Democratic congressman who sent racy images of himself to female aides, is an obvious reference to Anthony Weiner, who is also a Democratic congressman who sent racy pictures of himself to women. "Dick" "johnson" and "weiner" are also all words that can describe a penis. Used at the end of "Clean Skin". A young couple, a Middle Eastern man and a white woman, are seen buying a house near an airport. In a previous scene, a diamond necklace that a Saudi prince gave to his mistress for the end purpose of clearing customs without drawing suspicion, was sold to a jeweler for $400,000. One of the prince's handlers retrieved the necklace from the mistress by arranging her murder. It's heavily implied that the couple was able to buy the house with funds from the necklace sale. This plot is taken from the case of Faisal Shahzad, who attempted to set off a car bomb at Times Square in 2010 and had bought a large house in Connecticut several years prior to the attempt. In the next episodes the man's name is revealed to be named Raqim Faisel and the CIA starts investigating Faisel's WASP partner, who was the terrorist-minded all along. When listing Abu Nazir's past terrorist acts in "Q and A" Carrie mentions a bombing of an embassy in Kenya in 1998, a commuter train in Madrid in 2004, and a bombing of a grocey store in Amsterdam. The first two are real terrorist attacks carried out or inspired by Al-Qaeda, and the third appears to be fictional. Abu Nazir's Burial at Sea reenacts the same ceremony that was reportedly given to Osama bin Laden. In "The Drone Queen", a U.S. drone kills a terrorist at a wedding in Pakistan and ends up killing several civilians. In real life a U.S. drone strike did in fact kill civilians at a wedding in Yemen.

Homeland / int_1bf4581	comment	Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Brody was tortured and broken while in custody, but Abu Nazir gains his loyalty by being kind to him after years of abuse. Walker also turns evil, apparently without being shown kindness, and he shows much more ruthlessness than Brody. They did make Brody beat Walker to the point of what he thought was death, which is bodily and psychological torture for Walker, and at least psychological for Brody. So trauma from that may have helped Walker turn.

It goes awry. Deconstructed, as he gets increasingly frustrated at being palmed off with jobs that would be better left to other people. By Season 3, the CIA appears to have about 6 employees who are used for every assignment, even ones where their involvement seems wildly inappropriate.

Abu Nazir can hardly believe Brody has betrayed him. Brody, while in Iran, manages to get the drop on Danesh Akbari and apparently cements his decision after finding out Nazir set up Brody's reinsertion plan in the General's office. All this after Brody has gained the man's confidence.

She says he has turned down opportunities to kill high-profile targets in order to get an opportunity for a really big score. Invoked again in "New Car Smell". Soon as Brody's suicide video tape is found, the CIA restarts surveillance on him, planning to quietly tail him to his terrorist handlers. At the end of the epsiode, Carrie blows this plan by telling him she knows, forcing the CIA to arrest Brody at spot. Season 3 chronicles the efforts and hardships that Saul undergoes in order to play this card with Javadi. Arresting Javadi, a proven terrorist, is by itself a great but short-sighted victory, but turning and then planting him inside the Iranian government would be the greatest achievement in the history of the CIA.

Subsequent episodes, however, show that not only Saul himself would rather get killed than become a pawn in Haqqani's games, Haqqani later proves to have a much more dangerous ambition than simply controlling an insurgent network in the Af-Pak border—namely, leading a commando-style attack on the U.S. embassy in Pakistan. All the deaths that occur during his attack can therefore be attributed to Quinn's canceling Carrie's order.

Despite the CIA knowing full well he's involved he is forgotten about every time they mention Nazir's associates.note It is explained that they didn't grab him then and there because doing so would tip off whoever he funded, but after that point he is never mentioned again even when creating a list of all of his known or suspected associates.

Most notable is in Season 8 with Haissam Haqqani, who is dragged from his prison cell, ties to a wall, and shot by a firing squad while Saul visibly flinches as he dies. And then it's revealed he survived the shots, so the executioners shoot him again. Season 8 also has a notable inversion juxtaposing the above example in the same episode. Max Piotrowski has absolutely no buildup or foreshadowing before his death. At first it looks like his captors are going to move him to a different location. And then one of them nonchalantly shoots Max three times so quickly that you'll miss it if you blink.

We never see him do anything particularly Marine-like, other than walk around in uniform, he almost always gets his own rank wrong, and he never so much as picks up a sniper rifle, even when the CIA sends him on an assassination mission.

Dar Adul's line "Christ, I miss the Cold War" echoes fellow spymaster M in Casino Royale (2006). After an inquisitorial process, Estes is called "Javert" by Saul. When the JerkAss FBI agent dismisses Dana and Leo's disappearance as "playing Romeo and Juliet," Carrie retorts "Yeah, remember how that turned out?" Season five goes for the obvious and names the fifth episode, Better Call Saul.

Homeland / int_c7e9df7c	comment	From a Certain Point of View: A staple of the show, it's the realm of intelligence after all. Depicted in "Crossfire". Compare Abu Nazir's version of a drone strike in Iraq to the version given by the fictional U.S. Vice-President. Played with in "The Vest". Saul finds out that Carrie is bipolar and tries to cover for her in front of an inquisitive Estes. Saul says Carrie may not return to work right away after the bombing; Estes asks "What's wrong?". Saul says "doctors' orders," but does not say that the doctor is Carrie's sister. In the Season 1 finale, Brody tells Abu Nazir the plan failed due to a faulty vest, which is true, but he doesn't mention he couldn't bring himself to push the button again later, after he had repaired the device. In "State of Independence", Jessica doesn't believe that Brody gets flat-tired in a middle of nowhere. In fact, he does. "In "Q&A", Brody working with the CIA on matters of national security is true, the fact they are working "on him" and he's there in his quality of terrorist is omitted.

Carrie's final act in the first season is to have one realizing that Brody called out Abu Nazir's son's name in his sleep.

Wakefield rebukes Brody for becoming the recruitment poster boy for a war they both grew to despise. Carrie gets another one from Peter in "About a Boy" over the lengths she is willing to go: Roya tasks Brody, a high-value public face with top access to American government secrets, to pick up a sleeper terrorist in the middle of nowhere — one whom they already know has blown his cover and may be under surveillance — and move him to a new location. The stupidity of this plot is recognized in universe as Brody calls out Roya for it the next time they meet.

Subverted in that it's only meant as a setup for a gentler personal interrogation done by Carrie and not for immediate results; Carrie and Saul are shocked when it happens and quite genuinely drag him bodily from the room, and afterwards wonder whether his flip-out was really 100% theatre or not. The usage of the trope has an added meta-interest as Howard Gordon and other writers of the show also worked on 24, where Jack Bauer mastered it. In Season 6, Dar Adal has a US Senator handcuffed to a pipe in a cold storage room while clad only in his underpants... and a goon then throws a bucket of water over him.

Homeland / int_e851b5	comment	Used at the end of "Clean Skin". A young couple, a Middle Eastern man and a white woman, are seen buying a house near an airport. In a previous scene, a diamond necklace that a Saudi prince gave to his mistress for the end purpose of clearing customs without drawing suspicion, was sold to a jeweler for $400,000. One of the prince's handlers retrieved the necklace from the mistress by arranging her murder. It's heavily implied that the couple was able to buy the house with funds from the necklace sale. This plot is taken from the case of Faisal Shahzad, who attempted to set off a car bomb at Times Square in 2010 and had bought a large house in Connecticut several years prior to the attempt. In the next episodes the man's name is revealed to be named Raqim Faisel and the CIA starts investigating Faisel's WASP partner, who was the terrorist-minded all along.
