Is Homeland propaganda? They convey the CIA in a bad light quite often. The whole anti-drone strike message is very blatant.

- sdm 11y agoAt no point do they claim drone-ing is wrong or immoral. It's the bad guys that tricked them. And the whole, normalizing it as just a mistake. Carrie is never punished for her crime. There is no introspection on the issue. It was purely an apologist part of the storyline.
- hartpuff 11y agoHomeland seems pretty critical of US policy in Season One, perhaps too much so. After Season One (which should have been the only season) it becomes laughably transparent pro-Israel/anti-Iran propaganda rather than pro-CIA. It's even more brainless and nonsensical than 24, but unlike that show, Homeland actually seems to take itself seriously.
