“HOMELAND” (10 p.m., Showtime): This suspenseful thriller from the executive producers of “24” is one of the best new fall dramas. It tells the story of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a Marine sergeant, who makes a triumphant return home after being held prisoner by al-Qaida for eight years. He’s hailed as a hero by everyone except Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), an emotionally unstable CIA analyst who suspects that Brody’s foreign captors converted him to their side. It keeps you guessing: Is she right — or just crazy?

“Prohibition” (8 p.m., PBS): The latest history lesson from Ken Burns looks at the rise and fall of America’s “Great Experiment” — the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, banning booze.

“Dexter” (9 p.m., Showtime): The sixth season begins, and we have to wonder: How long can Michael C. Hall’s title character keep getting away with murder?

“The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS): Eddie Izzard drops by for a guest stint. He plays a queen’s councilman who goes up against Alicia (Julianna Margulies) during a British court battle waged via satellite.
