Critics Consensus

An impressive small-screen debut for Julia Roberts, Homecoming balances its haunting mystery with a frenetic sensibility that grips and doesn't let go.

The whole theme of it is a sense of unease - making you feel slightly paranoid and uncomfortable. That's the real joy.

Movie superstar Julia Roberts crushes here, benching her legendary smile - mostly - to play a frazzled, damaged administrator discovering the dark side of a corporate-run program for veterans.

It brilliantly captures the essence of the military compound and Heidi's place in it. And look out for a remarkable long tracking shot that begins on the exterior and somehow brings us in via a large fish tank mounted in a wall...

Every frame is a painting. Long, deliberate shots. Mood-inducing music and a story that cleverly darts around in time make this engine purr.

This is the kind of show that compels you to run immediately for friends or weekly discussion threads to breakdown the twists and turns and ratchet up expectations for the next episode.

It's a gem. The pacing, the intimacy, the tension is so good! Julia played best role in her career.

Great show, something different. The Camera work was something to get used to. But to be honest that also gave it a really thriller ish vibe. Great acting and a really good story. The interaction between the actors and their stories lines made it a show in which you are eager to find out what is next.

Propped up by Julia Roberts’ iconic talents, Homecoming is an intriguing and very watchable series. However, I felt unsatisfied by how the story was portrayed and felt more development was needed in certain critical areas of the plot. I am interested in following the story to its second season, but I would only watch the first season again if I had to.
