Overall I really liked Season 4. Liked the plot, not so obvious as the series came to a full closure in s#3.
Some reviewers have a problem with Carrie. They ask for a more likable character. And then the finale totally focuses on her and has no cliffhanger. Ouch.
Well I guess that's the point of the whole show: move away from the standard good/evil, black/white, sane/sick, the US vs the terrorists and people start to complain. Go see Delta Force. Welcome to the way of the world where nothing is black or white (especially in the Middle East!). Self-preservation in stead of heroics. Even the voice of her conscience (Saul) seems to act in his own self interest.
Her sometimes Machiavellian tactics clash with our ethics and that's a good thing. It fuels the debate about what the West is doing in the Middle East and e.g. what will be the long term effect of the drone attacks. Will it make the "homeland" more secure or create more terrorists? (Don't know the answer either). Solely for this this series deserves a lot of credit.
This episode deals with the aftermath, coming home and facing what Carrie was running away from in the first place. Licking wounds. Utter disappointment.
I saw some solid acting and can't wait for s#5
