Review: The Homeland series finale found no easy answers
Manchurian Candidate
Something the final season didn’t deal with much was the show’s longtime dark passenger, Carrie’s mental illness.was always wishy washy about Carrie’s bipolar disorder, sometimes moving it to the center of the show’s psychological schematic, and sometimes conveniently pushing it aside. I’m not sure Carrie’s mental health ever really rose beyond the level of plot device, so it’s probably for the best that “Prisoners of War” barely made any mention of it.
Or, more inclusively, a study of a complicated relationship—mentee and mentor, errant daughter and stern but forgiving father figure. In the final scenes of the episode, Carrie reached out to Saul in furtive fashion two years after she cleaved a seemingly unclosable rift between them—Carrie drugged Saul and almost had Russian agents kill him in order to extract the name of Saul’s mole in the Kremlin.
