Featured review
Laughable
Not worthy of extended comment, but it is required. Counted at least five or six subplots in this episode going on at the same, not including flashbacks. Can't tell the characters or situations without a scorecard.
Usually enjoy a stirring, suspenseful spy story, but overdone can be a disaster. Homeland had a promising beginning, but many episodes dissolve into a collage of confusion, filler and gratuitous extraneous situations. Who is sleeping with whom is always in the background. Midway through "All About Allison" I found myself scoffing at some of the ridiculous goings on loaded with flashbacks and filler until actually laughing at the end. The cast deserved much better writing.
