label: Description (Brief)
content: Homeland was an espionage thriller drama series created by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa that aired on the Showtime network from 2011-2020. The series follows CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) as she navigates the evolving battlefield and complicated politics of the intelligence services during the War on Terror. Homeland was critically-acclaimed, winning eight Emmy Awards, but also lauded as an exploration of contemporary issues from the post-9/11 military, global terrorism, and Iraq War to mental health and the meaning of patriotism. The series earned a Peabody Award in 2012 for its depiction of "a game of cat and mouse, a psychological thriller and a Rorschach test of post-9/11 doubts, fears and suspicions rolled into one."
