After so much wait, Homeland which usually premiered around October finally premiered on December 30th, 17 days earlier than it was supposed to. I was more than excited when I saw this, no one is a bigger fan of Homeland than me. Let's get straight to it. The episode picks up months after the events of the last season, and yes, Quinn is alive!! He's one of my favorite characters on the show and I actually thought he was going to die after the very emotional fifth season finale. A few new characters will be added to the cast this season including Madam President Elect played by Elizabeth Marvel, J. Mallory McCree, Dominic Fumusa, Hill Harper and Dominic Knepper. Carrie is back in America and lives in Brooklyn, New York with Frannie and Quinn is struggling physically and emotionally in rehab. He's taking drugs, drinking and hanging out with the wrong people and I'm only praying he gets his act together and goes back to work and please start a relationship with Carrie because I know they both have feelings for each other. She ends up renting the apartment right above hers for Quinn who really doesn't want her help. #QUARRIE

Madam President Elect isn't too supportive of Saul (Mandy Patinkin) and Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham) and is not interested in taking intelligence briefings. Carrie now works with an organization that provides legal aid to Muslims living in the US and in this episode Carrie has taken interest in a blogger who is accused of being a radical. According to executive producer Chip Johannessen (TVLine), Frannie's a bit older so she's going to have questions about her father Brody, although we won't be seeing Damian Lewis on the show.
We all know how Homeland goes, the first two or three episodes will be a bit calm and slow but by mid season, there would be explosions and a lot more action. But it might be different this season because the show runners have decided to dial back the level of terrorism. This season is going to take place between election day and the inauguration.
