Homeland - S4 • E5 Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
This will all come back to Carrie in some explosive way, we're sure, but for now it feels like a silly conceit to add tension to a season that, so far, has been lacking it.
TV.com
Cory Barker
As long as Homeland continues to show us some of the repercussions of Carrie's odd decisions and tightens the connections between what is now a cast of nearly a dozen players, there could be something very good here.
indieWire
Ben Travers
As much as I wasn't a fan of watching a retread of the Carrie/Brody dynamic, [this] follow-up episode sounded like a direct message to fans: we know what we're doing. Trust us. I will, especially after a week like this one.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
All of this seems to be building to a big reveal, but like Aayan, there's not enough evidence of what's at stake for any of it to be rousing or engaging, beyond the obligatory curiosity of what will happen next.
Slant Magazine
Matt Brennan
With the same terse, fragmented structure as "Iron in the Fire," tonight's episode of Homeland ably frames its accelerating narrative as a clash between competing intelligence agencies, one that threatens to ensnare unsuspecting innocents.
IGN Movies
Scott Collura
Carrie was more balanced this week -- sympathetic, if still dastardly in her way -- while scary-exciting stuff is heating up for Saul and perhaps Fara too.
AV Club
Josh Modell
So... another fine episode, but one in which the game wasn't really changed in too many ways.

Terri Schwartz
Did the writers really decide that the best way to give the series new life post-Brody was making the audience root for Carrie's downfall?

There is no evidence that Homeland is slowing down anytime soon.
New York Daily News

Fara this season is proving she's got a knack for this job, and is fast becoming my favorite character on the show.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Price Peterson
Ultimately, "About a Boy" did what Homeland does best: rendering huge thematic conflicts in interpersonal terms.
Los Angeles Times
Alan Eyerly
In the CIA's deadly struggle with the Taliban and ISI, America just suffered a devastating setback.
