The marathon event comes after the recently announced pick-ups of THE AFFAIR for a second season and of HOMELAND for a fifth season.
I took last week off from reviewing HOMELAND, because, to be honest, I was rather disturbed and disgusted by the final scene. I wasn't sure what to make of it; was Carrie's sexual advances on Aayan the cold and calculating maneuvers of a master manipulator, or had Carrie fallen so far from the confident espionage genius that she once was that she felt the only way to regain some control over her life was to exert her sexuality over some unexpectant prey? While Aayan clearly was not telling her no, the entire act felt dirty and, at some level, non-consensual to me. So, I was anxious to watch this week's episode to see how the show would spin the decision to have Carrie bed the former med student.
