I've now watched all 8 seasons of Homeland for the third or fourth time. Even though I knew what was coming and how Carrie's episode would end, enough time had passed since my last viewing that while I anticipated it being awesome, it was even better than I remembered. Her current financial situation, being coerced to pay money she didn't have, felt more relevant this year than the last time I watched this episode. Sadly, this type of scene plays out for real people far too often now compared to then. So, I give this whole episode a 10, especially for Carrie's final scene, and Claire Danes delivered an awesome acting job. I was amped by the last scene. When you see it, you'll know it. It features Carrie in complete kickass style, along with an adrenalized, hyped outro musical score to boot. For that, this episode gets 10 stars. Very rare for me to do that for any show!

I laughed so hard many times, and almost cried once or twice too! Steve Carrell is just an awesome comedian, and one of the funniest characters, as Michael Scott, in any television series I can think of. Also, although Dwight annoyed me more times than making me laugh, in this episode he was absolutely hilarious and fantastic in his scenes. When he went to look for the iPad, didn't find it but instead found mold and proceeded to fix the problem, I swear it was just a work of art. Especially with him taking a sledge hammer to the walls with heavy metal music blasting. Great stuff. Finally, just a note here but this review applies to both this episode And it's companion episode, The Delivery Part 1.

The showrumners of the last four seasons of FTWD even the ones who did the last third of season 11 and any future spinoffs need to to notes of how Dead City gets a good, solid spinoff done right. Every episode of this show has been solid, Negan especially is at his best in the story. I am really in shock that AMC finally got a solid series of the ground the TWD universe. Hopefully the others coming in the pipeline do the same. This episode was my favorite in this series thus far although classic Negan badassery has been abound in the previous episodes and they were spectacular too. I tell you, if everyone doesn't give Negan the respect and full credit for redemption of his past, they better start cause it's obvious here he's committed to Maggie, Hilltop and Alexandrians. Great show!
