About Homeland
Homeland follows CIA officer Carrie Mathison, who, while battling bipolar disorder, becomes convinced that Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody has been turned by al-Qaeda during his eight years in captivity. Her obsessive investigation sets off a chain of events spanning eight seasons of geopolitical intrigue, counterterrorism operations, and personal sacrifice. Under the mentorship of veteran CIA officer Saul Berenson, Carrie navigates the morally ambiguous world of intelligence gathering, from the streets of Beirut to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Based on the Israeli series Prisoners of War, Homeland earned widespread acclaim for its nuanced portrayal of the War on Terror and its complex, flawed protagonist.
