“She’s crying wolf again, Sauuuul”
By Stephanie Butnick for Tablet Magazine
Homeland
has been a bit of a roller coaster lately, with Season 3 devolving
quickly into a hard-to-believe narrative that seems to taunt even the
most loyal of viewers. But there is hope yet—though from a surprising
source. Sesame Street, which has long been making delightful parody
videos—from Monsterpiece Theater to the more recent Sons of Poetry
(aw)—has given Homeland the puppet treatment it so desperately needed.
Homelamb
is a spot-on parody, as Hilary Busis noted over at EW.com, and the best
part is, naturally, puppet Saul Berenson, played in real life by human
Mandy Patinkin. Puppet Saul couldn’t be any more Upper West Side Jewish
man (“Such a worrier that one!”) if he said the Shehecheyanu on-screen.
No spoilers, bahh:
