Brian Tallerico

New York Magazine/Vulture

In the end, Carrie herself isn't even sure what she's done, and there's something that feels right about Homeland ending on an arc about Carrie's mental instability being possibly used as an asset for foreign enemies.

Rated: 4/5

AV Club

Whatever the twist turns out to be, "Deception Indicated" finds Homeland on solid if familiar ground as it heads into its final stretch.

Rated: B+

Entertainment Weekly

The show is doing another of its now-infamous resets, but instead of finding a new setting (the way they did for Berlin, New York, and so on) they're circling back to old themes. I don't think that's an accident.

Indie London

On the evidence of this first episode, there's a sense that season eight could go either way in terms of delivering a send-off to be admired or derided.

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

I've come to see Homeland as something of a frustrating contradiction: a show that seems overly dependent on its own repetitive tropes, while paradoxically making some of the boldest and most surprising choices in television history.

Mark Braxton

Radio Times

The leads are astonishingly good: Mandy Patinkin as the gruff, gnomic security adviser Saul and Claire Danes as Carrie, pulled in all directions like a svelte Stretch Armstrong.
