Thought the Homeland finale was lacking in action? That was the point.

After a polarizing third season, the Showtime hit's fourth season drew praise from fans and critics, applauding the non-stop twists and turns Carrie (Claire Danes), Saul (Mandy Patinkin) & Co. were facing in Pakistan all-season long.

But then the show pulled off its biggest twist yet: the 12th and final episode of the season was set in Washington, D.C. And found Carrie saying goodbye to her father, who passed away in the episode prior, and finally facing her issues with motherhood. No terrorist threats. No drones. No action.

We lovingly called it "sleepy." (Hey, we love sleep!)
