Nyswaner. Reception Reviews The episode received an approval rating of 70% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews. The website's critical consensus is, "Homelands reintroduction of Carrie Mathison's mental health struggles will strike many viewers as a distracting rehash, but Claire Dane's harrowing performance makes the subplot feel more fresh than redundant." The Baltimore Suns Ethan Renner gave the episode a positive review, summarizing "this hour did a nice job in firmly establishing that this is now a show about Carrie, her life, and how she manages to juggle her career with her daughter and her illness." Shirley Li of Entertainment Weekly was more critical, rating the episode a "C+". She praised the Saul and O'Keefe scenes, but stated that "Carrie's downward spiral feels like a plot contrivance to keep her sidelined." Ratings The original broadcast was watched by 1.26 million viewers. References External links "Standoff" at Showtime 2018 American television episodes Homeland (season 7) episodes
