Homeland - The Complete Third Season
JC Alvarez READ TIME: 2 MIN.
No other contemporary television drama delivers on the twists and turns of premiere storytelling like "Homeland: The Complete Third Season," now available in stunning high-definition on Blu-ray. The 3-disc set delivers all 12 episodes of this compelling action drama, which has capitalized on our post-9/11 fears of terrorism and political intrigue. Claire Danes returns to her Emmy-winning role as CIA agent "Carrie," whose life has been mercilessly turned upside down as she pursues the truths hidden under layers of deceit!
Entering into Season 3, Carrie is blamed for a terrorist attack committed by the radical Abu Nazir's agents, but she and Saul (played by Emmy-winner Mandy Patinkin) are quick to uncover the discovery that the attack is part of a bigger conspiracy designed to destroy Carrie's reputation and disavow her of any agency connections. All of this leads to greater access to an enemy intelligence officer who will lead Carrie to the real threat behind the recent US bombings.
Meanwhile, Brody (Emmy-winner Damian Lewis) is hiding and in exile after he himself is branded a terrorist, but it isn't long before Saul makes a great sacrifice to vindicate his name and returns Brody for a fateful mission deep into the heart of the serpent's nest. Brody must journey to Iran, under the assumption that he is still a "known terrorist," and insert himself into the Revolutionary Guard and assassinate its leader. This leads to one of the series most bombastic finales, and its most dramatically shocking ending yet.
Blu-ray bonus features offer fans unique glimpses into the filmmaking of this globe-trotting production, particularly focusing on the Season Finale's shoot in Morocco and Puerto Rico. Deleted Scenes extend the mythology of the show, and Audio Commentary by the show's cast and creators reveal secrets hidden in the finale, leading to a sneak peek at the upcoming new season, which premieres this fall. There are few shows on television that deliver the way that "Homeland" does. Bring home the action today.
"Homeland: The Complete Third Season" is available now on Blu-ray in a 3-Disc set for $49.99.
