I would love to read a holistic analysis of the series in this regard from a subject matter expert; many were written in earlier seasons. I often commented that Carrie would have some sort of manic episode in odd-numbered seasons and as time went on I think this walked right up to the line of “gimmick” that Claire frequently said she was concerned they avoid in this regard. So: I encourage you to do some research yourself. To start, you can read a piece that went viral in 2012 by Meredith Stiehm’s sister Jamie. Meredith Stiehm was a writer on the show in the first five seasons who heavily informed the portrayal of Carrie’s illness. She co-wrote both “The Vest” and “Super Powers.” We can say that Carrie was one of the best-built characters in history - alongside Brody, Saul, Dar Adal and Quinn... It would be possible to clarify the following doubts: - Would you like to see Homeland reveal how the CIA explained Brody in Iran and his death to the American press? - Clearly, Javadi's ability to receive credit for Brody's capture helped his cause in Iran, but did the US government reveal Brody's role in Akbari's murder? - Was your name cleared for the CIA attack? I'd love to know what you think. - Another loose thread: Paul Franklin and the murder of the "real" CIA bomber. He ended up doing that scene ... why ?? Carrie was publicly humiliated, beaten, doped, shot and put her life on the line countless times without hesitation, just to make others see Brody as she saw him ... and she succeeded. Abu Nazir, the CIA, Jessica and the show's own audience, no one came close to seeing Brody with the clarity Carrie has always seen. Carrie has always read Brody like no one else. Ah, Carrie's dialogue with Javadi was incredible, it will be one of the most memorable moments in the series, without a doubt! “And what you wanted, which was for everyone to see what you see in him. That happened. Everyone sees it through your eyes now ... ” - How did Carrie see Brody? and how did the US come to see this? It's the world? Homeland had a sensible ending, closed all of Carrie's stories, while continuing the ongoing story of America's and Russia's rivalry. The series ends, but does not end, only better than that was seeing all these years incredible performances by Danes, Abrahann, Damian Lewis, Rupert Friend and Mandy Patinkin ...
Did Showtime's homeland teach you about bipolar disorder? bjjconfessions.com/2015/10/06/bipolar-jiu-jitsu/ Carrie Mathison, played by actress Claire Danes appears to have Bipolar Disorder I (BD-I) since when she stops taking her meds, often on purpose, she spirals into a strong cycle of mania, melancholy and a variety of mixed or psychotic features. I think Claire does an exceptional job of portraying various mood episodes often associated with BD-I. The persona's own father had BD-I, it turns out he was diagnosed and treated for most of his life. Many of the various depressive episodes and hypomanic stages which have been written into the Homeland story line rings very true. There have been times when the daughter of Carrie Mathison (Franny) is in danger because her mother has such an intense desire to be a successful CIA agent. Sometimes Carrie puts her career over the best interests of her daughter and her life. The series, even though sometimes it goes off the rails, does stay true to how Carrie manages to balance her BD-1 with the shocking story of espionage and counterterrorism. If anything, I think the Showtime series does an exceptional job of portraying bipolar disorder in a thought provoking fair and realistic manner. Hopefully it will educate viewers who were formerly uninformed about the disease what a toll it takes on a person’s life and the lives of those around them. I also love how the show highlights the medications Carrie takes for her illness and even they are realistic. Carrie has shared that she takes clozapine, lithium, nortriptyline, clonazepam which are all drugs often prescribed for those with the disease.
Lost interest in the show after Brody was gone. It became the crazy Carrie show .. f Saul!! Wtf Saul??.. etc. then we got into the Peter Quinn character till he was killed off.
