Full spoilers follow.
Coming off a bunch of Emmy wins just last week -- including Outstanding Drama for the series and Actor and Actress for stars Damian Lewis and Claire Danes -- Homeland has a lot to live up to in its second season. But if tonight's Season 2 premiere episode, "The Smile," is any indication, all those awards were not handed out in vain.
Perhaps what's most satisfying about the show's return is the fact that its characters have continued to evolve and change since we last saw them. Yes, Homeland is still very much Homeland -- tense and morally grey, with good and bad guys all mixed up into one delicious falafel of a drama. But while the show's creators, Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, have maintained the basic elements that made the series work so well last year, they're also charting new territory for these characters already.
