Part 4/6:
Reflecting on series like Homeland, the conversation highlights how certain seasons can rise to the occasion of feeling more like a movie.

The commentary suggests that while audiences may not expect a cinematic masterpiece each week, they yearn for a concluding experience where the story and emotional build-up truly resonate. Once the season wraps, the essence of the narrative should linger, not fade into obscurity like many soap operas.
