Homeland - Season 7 (2018 Alex Gansa)

DJ in redneck gun stand-off that ends in tragedy - quite believable. The war's now taking place on home turf. With the external bad guys turning out to be the Russians.

There's a real family tragedy going on here as Carrie is patently unfit to be a mother and shouldn't be allowed to look after Frannie until she has switched careers to become a librarian.

I thought Carrie's capture was a bit lame. If she was wearing a wig (which presumably she was) why didn't she just ditch it? And even if she wasn't, she could have changed her style, outfit or something - they were after all looking for another woman.

With Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin are Elizabeth Marvel (President), Maury Sterling (Max), Linus Roache (Chief of Staff), Jake Weber (DJ), Morgan Spector (Dante), Amy Hargreaves (Carrie's sister), James D'Arcy, Beau Bridges, Dylan Baker, Sandrine Holt (his Chief of Staff). Gansa is the showrunner and wrote some of it.
