Homecoming on Amazon Video

Never heard of this but the cast is very good (BE fan). I'll check it out.

 

We finished it yesterday. We liked it. It was interesting, but we had questions. Each episode does move fairly quickly. There were several where we got to the end credits and I was surprised a 1/2 hour had gone by.

 

I found the story slow moving and bailed after 5 episodes. The episodes went quickly because they’re so short. If these were 50-55 min episodes I wouldn’t have lasted that long.

My wife OTOH liked it.

Loved it-stayed up til 1am to binge the whole thing. Still a couple of unanswered questions-but overall so well done.

I'm a big Sam Esmail/Mr. Robot fan so the style appealed to me right away.

Loved the casting!

 

I loved it also. I think I need to watch it again now that I know what was going on.

 

I thought it was pretty good.
At first, I was a little bothered by the composition/framing and I had to give the pilot a second chance to decide that it wasn't as bad as Mr. Robot(where I _hated_ the composition). Story was engaging, cast was good.

 

Enjoyed the first few episodes, not so much the the rest. We thought the ending was a big letdown.

 

Bump...

Season 2 is now available.

 

I thought the first season was just OK. I will probably skip this one for now. Might circle back to it at some point.

 

Well, that was just weird.

 

Spoiler

So at the end of S2, I felt is a big gaping hole that they tried to get us to thing that took care of the issue. Umm, red tape? Emails? Documents? Contracts? The govt would have everything written down in a lot of places, they showed that when he went to get his records. They showed it in the lawsuit. That yanked me out of the story. He bought enough time to get all those plants removed? Not if he's doing it by hand himself as they showed us painfully. Decent for sure until that silly ending. It's so hard to wrap up a storyline, they did way better at the end of S1 leaving it with him having some memories still and fade to black. Sorry, rambling spoiler tagged stuff.

 

Just finished S2 last night. Interesting season, I liked the way it was structured and Janelle Monae's performance was great. But ultimately the end felt rushed and not very well thought out.

 

So I take it that S2 is a totally new storyline?

I liked S1...good show but not great.

 

Same evil company but a different spin

 

Kind of a continuation of S1, but with only one character really returning.
