Following the deadly Langley bombing that is blamed on disgraced congressman Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) and having helped him escape the U.S., Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is desperate to solve the case and clear Brody's name as the third season of the conspiracy thriller begins. But Carrie's efforts are threatened when she becomes the focus of a hostile Senate investigation led by Sen. Andrew Lockhart (Tracy Letts) who believes the CIA is covering up the truth about the attack. Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), now CIA chief, also feels the heat of the probe and it begins to undermine his efforts to revive the Agency. Trouble also brews in the Brody household when Dana (Morgan Saylor) starts exhibiting destructive behavior and runs away from home. As for Brody, who has a $10 million bounty on his head, he begins to recuperate from a gunshot wound in Venezuela where he is held captive by armed gunmen in a ramshackle Caracas building called the Tower of David. With no passport, no money and no chance of escape, Brody slowly begins to realize that he may have to live out the rest of his days in this slum dwelling where Carrie has arranged for him to at least be safe.

Months after undergoing electroconvulsive therapy, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is living a relatively peaceful life with her father and sister as the second season of the conspiracy thriller begins. But her mental health is threatened when she accepts a mission to return to Beirut and gather intelligence from the wife of a Hezbollah leader, a woman who once was one of Carrie's most valued sources. Carrie can't resist the possibility of bringing down terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) and perhaps being reinstated at the CIA. In Washington, D.C., congressman Brody (Damian Lewis) is being groomed as a potential vice-presidential running mate, but Saul (Mandy Patinkin) makes an alarming discovery that puts a serious dent in Brody's plans. Trouble also brews in the Brody household when Brody's daughter Dana (Morgan Saylor) outs him as a Muslim to her mom Jessica (Morena Baccarin), who is enjoying life as the newest member of the Capitol's inner circle. Dana's life becomes even more complicated when she and the vice president's son inadvertently commit a crime while out on a joy ride. Throughout it all, Carrie is increasingly drawn to Brody, even though he is the willing pawn of the world's most feared terrorist.

This set contains every episode from the first season of the critically-respected series Homeland, starring Claire Danes as a self-destructive CIA agent who begins to suspect that a veteran, who was held as a POW, may in fact be a terrorist instead of the war hero the media has made him out to be.

The fifth and final season of Boardwalk Empire follows embattled Alantic City politician Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) as he confronts the demons of his past and strengthens his foothold in smuggling goods illegally back and forth from Cuba. Elsewhere, gangster Al Capone's behavior becomes increasingly erratic as the feds close in, and Chalky White struggles to evade law enforcement and avenge the death of his daughter.

Season 4 of the Prohibition-era drama opens in February 1924 as Nucky (Steve Buscemi) makes peace with New Yorkers Masseria (Ivo Nandi) and Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg), moves into the abandoned Albatross Hotel and, coincidentally, spreads his wings with a potential real-estate bonanza in Florida, where he's smitten with a saucy barkeep (Patricia Arquette). Back in Atlantic City, Chalky (Michael K. Williams) runs the boardwalk's Onyx Club, but faces increased opposition. Meanwhile, in the Midwest, Nelson (Michael Shannon) pulls double duty for Chicago mobsters Al Capone (Stephen Graham) and O'Banion (Arron Shiver).

This release compiles every episode from the third season of Boardwalk Empire a run of shows that earned Bobby Cannavale an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work as Gyp Roseti, a psychotic bootlegger who goes to wear with the show's main character, Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi).
