Sure, some people claimed that Showtime’s hit series Homeland went a bit off the rails in season 2, but it was compelling television nonetheless. Maybe it didn’t quite match the dizzying heights reached by a nearly flawless season 1, but it was good. Really good.

And that’s why I’m excited by the new trailer for season 3. Also, this trailer is great.

Homeland returns to Showtime on September 29th and 9pm EST.
