This evening is the finale of this series of Homeland, and with it we're expecting a superabundance of Carrie angst. Few actors can convey sheer emotion quite like Claire Danes, so here we pay homage to her startlingly expressive face with Carrie Mathison's top 10 looks.
Desperate
The look that says she's just one well-placed listening device away from catching a terrorist. Or that the FBI are preparing her P45. Again.
Angry
"I slept with a terror suspect while my colleagues listened in... for this?!"
P*ssed off
She warned everyone and no-one listened. Years spent learning Arabic, wasted.
Defiant
"You pulled down my colour-coded wall chart Saul and I cannot look at you."
Incredulous
Having an affair with the boss does NOT affect her ability to do her job.
Panic
Eyes. About. To. Explode.
Determined
"You can detonate a bomb and kill my operatives, but my mission will not be compromised. Dammit."
Emotional
Very emotional.
Distraught
Furrowed brow, intense eyes, trembling chin, stretched lower lip - aka pulling out all the stops.
Sad
"Powersuits, what will become of my powersuits?"
