Is there going to be a season 9?

Nope, it has "ended" (not cancelled) hence the suitable ending and closure whilst leaving it open for a return. There are so many series bring revived these days that I hope in a couple of years time they bring Homeland back. It will have had a sufficient break, given Clare Danes some time with her daughter and given the writers time to come up with a phenomenal story for Carrie working undercover in the KGB or whatever it is now. I think it would be fantastic.

Glad you enjoyed it anyways. I love quality series like this and now it has ended you would think it would be cheap enough for the BBC or ITV to buy for terrestrial viewers. It would put everything else to shame.

My brains fried from watching it all so quickly, i need to find another fix soon to replace it.

Never watched Sons of Anarchy, what did you think of that?

If you like scifi you should give 12 Monkeys a go.

It does. Arguably it doesn't matter if procedurals get cancelled at any point in the season but when you have series which are all about one big story there is nothing worse than it being cancelled out of the blue. 12 Monkeys "ended" and they knew that in advance of the finale season being produced so nothing was rushed and everything flows and ends perfectly. I was a bit iffy about it in season 1 because I didn't like the film but the more I got into it the more I loved it.

Don't know if I've mentioned this but "The Chosen" is a very well done set of stories about people Jesus met. It is crowd funded and series 1 is available for free. You can either watch on YouTube wrapped in extra material discussing the episode but has subtitles fixed on or download the app and watch from there, you can cast to big screens if you want to and even donate to the making of season 2 - they have already collected the monies for the first 7 episodes, need to finish for episode 8 and $750k for Covid-19 extra costs.
