Queen of Dronov

Homeland 's debut season was almost the main event of 2011 on television. The verified spy thriller boldly rhymed terrorism with a love story and a family drama, so much so that the viewer urgently wanted to blow up something. It is a pity that later the ShowTime channel began problems with internal logic, believable and adequate - the heroine could seriously go with the trim in her hands on the armed villain of the caliber of Osama Ben Laden, which was hiding at an abandoned factory. What it was impossible to refuse the “homeland” is in the constant search for new horizons for its history - each final of the season tried to change the rules and take the show away from the famous shores. The first season ended with an electric shock, the second - with a grand explosion and a shoot from the whole world, the third - pregnancy and hanging. In the fourth year of his life, the Homeland was left without its key hero Nicholas Brody (Damien Lewis), among the steaming plot ruins-in fact, the series now begins again (available in the online service of Amediathek ).

Carrie Mattison (Claire Danes) received a promotion and now leads the CIA cell in Afghanistan. New colleagues respectfully call her “queen of drones”, and not in vain - Carrie had just given another order to hit the drone for an important goal, the refuge of a long -looking terrorist. True, it turns out a little later that it was possible to bomb not only the villain, but also four dozen innocent citizens with children - in the house where the terrorist was located, just walked the wedding.

It is curious that here the “homeland” closes the circle: after all, it was the unsuccessful attack of the drone that was the key moment in the circulation of Sergeant Brody against the United States in the debut season - then, under the fire of the drones, ISA, a boy, to whom the prisoner American soldier became very attached. “We returned back, in addition, the well, because the question of drones remains relevant,” explains showranner “ Homeland ” Alex Gansza. - In Afghanistan, our drones are responsible for many murders, and today the criteria for which the goal is determined for such an air strike are becoming more and more blurry. We want people to ask this question. ” One of the heroes of the series, the US Ambassador to Pakistan, translates a similar idea: “I saw a shot list ( Kill List ) after September 11. Do you know how many names had in it? Seven, including Ben Laden. And now there are more than two thousand names. Apparently, today you do not need to be a terrorist - just look like one of them. "

That's just Carrie now looks at the killings of the innocent differently - she is only concerned that no one is digging. It is generally difficult to learn the nervous heroine: she learned to control her bipolar disorder, and the point is not in a shock combination of pills and white wine-after the death of Brody inside Carri, only a deafening emptiness, because of which the surrounding world turned into a stack of black and white targets. The only thing that can lead the queen of drones from balance is her newborn daughter, who remained in America under the supervision of a sister, the last piece of Brody, a painful fragment of the happy life that Carrie could have. Therefore, the heroine runs away from her daughter - she scares Carrie more than the terrorists of this planet combined.

The first season ended with an electric shock, the second - with a grand explosion and a shoot from the whole world, the third - pregnancy and hanging.

She still has to fight evil alone: ​​the former chief Sol Berenson left the civil service and now rushes in the expensive chair of a large business, and the reliable operative Peter Kuinn is engaged in psychoanalysis near the Motel basin. Empty bottles of whiskey, which he fills the next murders, and the telephone, which were repenting from the calls of the alarmed authorities (Kuinn said that he wanted to go to rest) is also flying into the water. The newcomer of the Caria series, Stalla in the role of the head of the CIA cell in Pakistan, managed to live in the brutal world of the "Motherland" only one episode (there must be vampires of Guillermo del Toro in the "strain" require constant attention). It was the hero of the table that provided Carrie with information that he led to the wedding bombing, and then ended up in the hands of an angry crowd-someone merged his photos and a list of exploits in the media. After that, Carrie goes to Pakistan for permanent work in order to restore order in the local department of the CIA and find out the reasons for such a failure.

Previously, some critics called the “homeland” the most Islamofobsky show on TV - Muslims here were only a group of people who want to harm the Americans. However, the new season “ Homeland ” takes a fresh angle and shows how the attack of Drona destroyed the life of a local guy, a medical student (Suraj Sharma, who conquered the tiger and ocean in the “Pi Life” Eng Lee). Such a move expands the palette of the series, finally taking it beyond the scope of the action -packed thriller, where bad guys are never confused with good ones. “We decided to give a Pakistani point of view and create a character whose way does not intersect with other heroes of the show,” Alex Gansus intrigues, although there is another intrigue, which has long been haunted by the fans of the show: Damien Lewis was seen near the filming of the new series of “Homeland”. “Yes, I can confirm that Damien Lewis was on the set of the fourth season “ Homeland , ” Gansa comments on these rumors. “But I can also confirm that Nicholas Brody is dead.” It seems that even the Queen of Dronov (not to mention Carrie) will not be able to escape from demons in his own head - one day they will have to fight face to face: after all, the electric shock, as we already know, does not help.
