After a slow start to the fourth season of "Homeland", the show really starts to gain momentum and excitement. It takes place mostly in Pakistan, where Carrie Matheson (Claire Danes) and company are investigating and attempting to thwart a terrorist who is wreaking havoc in and around Islamabad.
Matheson's bipolar illness plays a chief role in this season and her struggle with it proves to be a compelling and interesting exploration of mental illness. She is also dealing with her new status as a mother and her ambivalence towards this role helps to add complexity and nuances to her character.
The action sequences and suspense are extremely well-achieved and keep the viewer riveted. The performances are convincing and good as well.
This is a thoroughly satisfying addition to the show's story and is sure to satisfy any fan of the series.
