Homeland S06E12

... also took for granted that secret services were
the only real measure of a nations political health,
the only real expression of its subconscious...


Well - Homeland certainly is the best nightmare maker out here. I never expected such a strong ending of a weak story in the season. We have met the enemy and he is us... indeed.

What was especially crafty is that the ending exploded during the standard harmless wrapping up of a season. Umberto Eco used the same maneuver in the final conversation of Wilhelm and Jorge. You expect a closure, expect an apprehension of the murderer and get an apocalypse instead.

Unfortunately they plan another season.

Так потому и сделали завязку вместо развязки, что планируют следующий сезон. Кажется, подобное сделали и в конце второго сезона тоже..

А мне этот эпизод в тюрьме и вся концовка показались новосёлом, сделаным специально под Трампа. Мол, и спецслужбы хотя и плохими методами, но хотели хорошего сделать и вот и главный плохиш выявил свою гнилую сущность.
