Mystery Thriller ‘Homecoming’ Delivers A Healthy Dose Of Suspicion And Paranoia

Amazon Prime Video’s new drama series stars Julia Roberts as a therapist who’s working with a soldier returning from Afghanistan. Critic David Bianculli binged all 10 engrossing episodes.

Homecoming starts out like a military-themed version of the HBO series In Treatment: one patient, one therapist, and a lot of back-and-forth, slowly revealing dialogue. But very quickly, it turns into something else: a conspiracy drama overdosed with suspicion and paranoia, where almost nothing can be taken for granted. The therapy sessions take place in the present, but there’s also a timeline set a few years in the future – when a Department of Defense investigator is looking into Heidi’s [Julia Roberts] role at the Homecoming medical facility, and finding many more questions than answers.”

I saw this on Amazon and it looked interesting. The plot summary is really grabbing me, ad I havn’t seen Julia in years. She used to be a favorite of mine, so I think I’m gonna make a movie night of this.
