Separation Anxiety Ratings & Reviews
Digital Spy
Emma Dibdin
Homeland's meandering season four finale and season five's taut premiere 'Separation Anxiety' both pivot on the same question, and what's startling is that the answer might actually be yes.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Gerard O'Donovan
She's back, and on form.
Guardian
Richard Vine
Now that Carrie is out of the CIA, and the show's other great characters - Quinn and Saul - are still there, it will be interesting to see how the writers use them in season five.
Slant Magazine
Aaron Riccio
It's a startling and effective shift in perspective.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
After plenty of false starts and dead ends, it would seem the series is on the right track to establishing the right kind of new identity.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Price Peterson
Not exactly packed with twists, "Separation Anxiety" worked best as a reeducation and explanation of what Carrie's world had become.
IGN Movies
Scott Collura
Homeland is off to a solid start for its fifth season, hitting the reset button without turning the place into a parking lot as Quinn might suggest.
Observer
Matt Fisher
Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa have always constructed Homeland from the global strife and American paranoia of the moment, but an adventure set amid a real and worsening humanitarian crisis is its grandest flight of non-escapism yet.
New York Times
Judith Warner
Boy, oh, boy. I think we're in for some fun this season.
Entertainment Weekly
Shirley Li
Whatever happens, it'll make for compelling TV, and Homeland has laid the groundwork for another edge-of-your-seat season with this premiere.
AV Club
Joshua Alston
"Separation Anxiety" does an impressive job of setting up for the season ahead.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
While the main plotlines as they exist are a bit on the "meh" side for me personally, it's only the first episode, so things could definitely improve. Here's hoping, at least.
TV.com
Cory Barker
For an episode that had quite a bit of legwork to do in introducing some new characters, a new location, and a new geopolitical crisis for Carrie to initially muck up and then eventually solve, "Separation Anxiety" did good work.
indieWire
Ben Travers
"Separation Anxiety" may not be the most thrilling way to start Season 5, but it proved to be a telling and effective example of foundation-building.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
Carrie's character progression is so interesting, and it makes what happens in the premiere somewhat unsettling, given how hard she has tried to step away from her former life.
