At N+1, Richard Beck considers the television show Homeland from a political perspective. Beck argues that the show is representative of the Democratic Party’s stance on terror issues: “Homeland is a perfect dramatization of the rhetorical moves and political self-deceptions that made this now semi-permanent and very deadly war on terror possible, and it is important to see these things dramatized, to see them laid out in terms of affect and demeanor and style.”
