Homecoming

Enjoyed the show and would give it a solid recommendation. My interested peaked around the midpoint of the season then gradually dissipated. The acting was superb.

I read a few of the reviews prior to watching this. The initial perception - it is slow to start. However, the first few episodes provide those key tie-in's that end up making this a very entertaining show! Having been in Iraq for 5 years, this show sure hit home. Very good! Thought provoking! Haha, yes I binged watched it. Is definitely worth it! Enjoy it folks!

I enjoyed the first season of this show, it was a slow burn that kept me hooked although a bit confusing at times. Having just binged the second season, I have to say it is even better. The acting is great, the camera work and directing excellent and the story moves along at a good pace. Even with what we already knew from the first season there was a good mystery element that played out from the opening scene as we went backwards to find out what happened. Would definitely recommend!

We have Amazon Prime so I was able to stream this through my Roku.

It stars Julia Roberts, who was also a producer, as Heidi Bergman. She is a therapist assigned to help returning military men adjust to being home again and to develop the temperament and skills necessary to get into the workforce.

At least that is what we are told in episode #1. But not everything is as it seems and there is something very experimental going on.

I like Julia Roberts, and she is fine here, but as producer I suspect her main goal was to make a good chunk of money from Amazon. There really isn't anything much new here, it could have been a pretty good 90 minute movie, but the story is stretched out over 10 episodes, as has become the new mode of operation for sources like Amazon and Netflix. Which is fine for those who want to spend time leisurely watching everything unfold slowly

Count me among those disappointed with this series, it is much ado about very little.

Season 1 of Homecoming is interesting. It unravels in a way that intrigues and holds you in suspense until the end. I was thoroughly invested and binge watched and was satisfied with the storyline. 8/10.

Season 2 of Homecoming is super boring. Why was it even made? Janelle Monae is fine. But her character just isn't interesting, and nor is the story. 5/10. I don't know the person who really wants to sit through this slog.

My average is 7/10, but season 1 is definitely of a different caliber than season 2, and I wish I could rate them separately.
