Homeland: America First (2017)
Season 6, Episode 12
6/10
A well-made but frustrating finale
7 April 2018
This season hit a lot of right notes on the core characters, particularly Peter Quinn (and actor Rupert Friend found a whole new gear here).

Unfortunately, as the show progressed it seemed to get more ridiculous and implausible, with FBI and Secret Service agents making horrendous mistakes they would never make in real life. And the last five minutes of the finale is just too weird for words.

The biggest flaw is the talk show host, played by Jake Weber, a wildly exaggerated character who would make Alex Jones look subtle. He also spoke with the most insanely fake southern accent I've ever heard. It was like nails on a chalkboard.

I've loved this show ever since the first season, and I'm hoping they'll be back on the ball in season 7.
