At the University Hospital School of Medicine, five ambitious students subject themselves to a daring experiment: to temporarily induce their own deaths, hoping to glimpse the afterlife before being brought back to life. But as competition within the group intensifies and their visions of the world beyond increasingly bleed into their waking lives, they’re about to learn that the greatest threat comes not from the spirit world but from the long-suppressed secrets of their own pasts.
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.
