So says Willa Paskin about Season 4, which she compares to a relationship that has gone from sour to sweet again. "The result,” she says, "is a series shorn of many of its complications, some of its over-reaching, and much of its implausibility. It is still psychologically astute, but it has become a much more straightforward, and largely effective, spy show. If you do not want to let ‘Homeland' back into your heart, that’s understandable. But maybe let it crash on your couch for a probationary period.” PLUS: “Homeland” found a smart and natural way out of the hole it dug (http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2014/10/04/homeland-back-solid-ground/RRqNehYU6khQG4gL9U9thM/story.html) for itself, it distinctly resembles an old-school spy drama (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/john-doyle-homeland-is-back-as-a-brilliant-spy-thriller/article20917250/), it is leaner and meaner and sleeker (http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/10/homeland-season-4-review?) and swifter, Season 4 reminds us that Carrie is the cracked heart (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/homeland-season-4-tv-review-736021) of this drama, and co-creator Alex Gansa admits "the lack of an Emmy nomination really hurt.” (http://t.co/4Vq3A7jIxf)
