S8:E2 Catch and Release

"Yevgeny makes another unexpected, cryptic appearance, which gives us good reason to question whether he was at G’ulom’s office at all. This appearance feels so weird and off, it almost has to be a hallucinatory by-product of Carrie’s time in captivity—or part of an elaborate plot to make her think that’s the case. That old Homeland paranoia is settling in again."

"There’s a world-weariness to the start of this season of Homeland befitting the final run of a show about the current state of the tired world."
