There're examples out there of TV shows hanging in there thoughout their run with excellent, well done, believable seasons. The Wire comes immediately to mind. I don't think there was a weak season from beginning to end. Rome was another as was Deadwood (inexcusably prematurely aborted by HBO). Add in the Breaking Bad to the mix and you've got 4 shows that were great from day 1 to day "n" and were more than "just a show", which apparently Homeland, with so much initial promise, is deigned to be :(
Anyway, the season wasn't a bust, it just could have been so much more...
IMHO and all that crapola :)
