Tonight, we watch Homeland online to see if Carrie Mathison save her country again, in the series finale. The Showtime drama concludes its eighth and final season Sunday night, with Carrie (Claire Danes) once more working to defuse an explosive situation with far-reaching consequences.
Homeland first premiered in 2011. The tense, propulsive spy thriller centers on Carrie Mathison, a brilliant but troubled CIA agent.

Later seasons followed Carrie around the world — Beirut, Kabul, Berlin, Russia — as she and mentor Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) teamed up with other operatives like Quinn (Rupert Friend) and Max (Maury Sterling) to resolve high-stakes security crises, unravel political plots and battle international intrigue.
In the series finale episode, titled "Prisoners of War," Carrie is trying to make a deal to get the flight recorder from the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of U.S. President Warner and Aghan President Daoud.
The Homeland series finale starts soon, at 9 p.m. Eastern today (April 26) on Showtime.
She'll have to completely betray Saul, though, by revealing the identity of his longtime Russian asset. And if he won't comply, Carrie may have to go nuclear. '
But can she "kill Saul" as her Russian ally/collaborator Yevgeny Gromov (Costa Ronin) suggested? This is Saul — her mentor, friend, father figure — we're talking about. But Carrie has always carried the weight of the world on her shoulders and she'll do anything when it's "one hair trigger away from annihilation."
