Who'd Have Thought We'd Be Watching The 'Homeland' Finale To 'De-Stress'?

'Homeland' drops its finale in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic — a terrifying real world plot twist. 'For the first time in the history of the show, we're being watched as a de-stresser.'

One of the things that we always treasure on the show as writers is the ability to get at the truth by dramatizing conflicting opinions about the same event or a same idea — with the idea that there was some truth in the middle somewhere ... And obviously that idea has gone out the window in the last four years. It's just very difficult to find your way to what is real. ...

I think there are plenty of people that did stop watching because of that. But for us, that was the thrill of writing the show. And Claire is such a compelling actress that, whether or not you find her likable, it's hard to turn away from her. She is electric on screen and she lived inside this person in a way that you just don't often see on television.
