What Are the Critics Saying about Homeland Season 8?
Homeland Season 8 has an official critics rating of 85% and an average audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. Most viewers feel the season is a befitting end to a consistently good drama series.
Sydney Morning Herald’s Melinda Houston and Debi Enker write, “Freeing itself of its original narrative moorings has done it nothing but good. It’s also a testament to the thoughtfulness and intelligence of showrunners Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa that it has stayed so on the ball.”
Jacob Stolworthy from The Independent (UK) says, “It’s been a swansong befitting of a character who’ll be missed — a character who, until her final hour, has been one of television’s all-time greats.”
