With about one month to go before the new episodes start airing, discussions among fans have been getting more and more exciting and tensions are on the rise. We expect to see a lot happening in the new episodes, with some plot points that have been speculated for quite a while now.
But above all, it would be great to see the show evolving into something more tightly focused on the topic of family, friendships and the truly important things in life. Previously, it was mostly about the professional side of Carrie’s work, but it could benefit a lot from taking a more serious look at her private life as well.
After all, it’s been running for four seasons already, and the show might need some more drastic changes to its setup if it is to remain relevant.
Of course, on the other hand, the writers should also be careful not to stray too far away from the original premise that drew fans to the production in the first place. That’s the other common mistake that showrunners tend to make with productions that rise to prominence quickly, but hopefully the people behind “Homeland” aren’t going to go down that road and they will continue demonstrating that they are strongly in touch with their community just like they have been doing for so long until now.
