Homeland‘s Season 3 finale, the one that, for Andy Greenwald, “revealed the show I once loved to be utterly, perhaps irreparably broken,” got the series’s highest ratings yet. 2.4 million viewers tuned in to watch mumblemumblemumble happen to mumblemumblemumble. For comparison, last December’s Season 2’s finale scored 2.3 million viewers — surprisingly consistent! Deadline also reports that Homeland averaged 7 million viewers this season when DVR and other platforms (Amazon and iTunes, presumably) were tallied. Now we wait and see how many people come back for Season 4, which, yes, is happening.
